About Rosalind
Bringing to therapy the depth of understanding that comes from lived experience
My passion is helping people to realise their potential to live meaningful lives. I believe we are all born innately gifted, and would like to help you to develop the uniqueness that is you, and the gifts that you bring to the world.
I offer a broad range of counselling services, and have a particular interest in supporting children, and helping their parents through everyday parenting challenges.
I find that when we are able to address the stresses and tensions in our own lives, the benefits flow on to those around us, particularly our children. Learning and behaviour in children naturally improves when they feel safe.
As a trauma-informed holistic therapist, I work with the whole person, recognising the interconnection between body, soul and spirit, or mental, emotional and physical aspects.
Rather than trying to reduce or eliminate symptoms, I see disturbances as bringing us a message. Working with clients to help them unfold the meaning behind their disturbance brings personal and spiritual growth.
I see healing as a lifelong process of continual evolution and learning. There are no quick fixes, but every step we take leads to greater awareness and understanding, as our unique path unfolds.
I am a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor, Registered Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator and Victims Services Counsellor.
When I’m not working you might find me spending time with my family, walking alongside the Moruya river, or enjoying a coffee at a local cafe.
