Helping you heal and reconnect to your authentic self
Welcome to Authentic Counselling Collective!
Within the collective, you will be provided with a genuine experience to support your growth and healing. What sets Authentic Counselling Collective apart is a truly authentic and humble approach, where I take the power dynamic out of the therapeutic relationship. I am not the expert on your life, YOU ARE! I am simply here to guide and support you.
Here, counselling is real, open and honest. A place free from judgement, where you are accepted exactly as you are. Your therapy is tailored to support your unique journey, taking a holistic approach that nurtures you as a whole.
I specialise in a range of therapeutic approaches including person centered, somatic experiencing, self compassion, inner child work, attachment and trauma informed therapy.
Counselling
Therapy sessions are genuine and accepting, an experience that supports you to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Here you can explore your inner world, gain insight into your patterns, emotions and thoughts so that you can address the root causes, heal and step into your authenticity.

The authentic essence of the collective
-
Feeling safe
Supporting you to feel safe in therapy is our priority. You will be fully heard and seen without judgment. You are welcome and safe in this space as you are, as we unleash your authentic self.
-
Embracing self-compassion
Lacking self compassion can result in have lowered feelings of self-worth. The core of my work involves self compassion to foster a loving relationship with yourself and calm your nervous system.
-
Reseting your nervous system
Unresolved trauma remains within our body and can begin to manifest into physical and emotional symptoms . To reset the nervous system, I will help you release trauma from the body using somatic therapies.
-
Trusting your intuition
Often people are subconsciously disconnected from their bodies, intuition and, therefore, their authenticity. Your healing journey will empower you to reconnect with your body.
-
Discover your inner wisdom
At times people come to therapy assuming that the therapist holds all of the tools to support you. I will educate you with strategies whilst also empowering you to reconnect with yourself, as you hold so much wisdom and power within to heal.

Create a life you love
Therapy is not just about eradicating symptoms. Our work also involves cultivating new meaning and embracing what brings you joy, so you can intentionally create a fulfilling life of contentment.
“The essence of trauma is a disconnect from the self. Therefore the essence of healing is not just uncovering ones past, but reconnecting with oneself in the present”
— Gabor Mate
The Hummingbird symbolizes joy, healing and staying in the present moment. The Hummingbird was chosen as the company logo, as the collective embodies the hummingbird way, bringing hope and healing to others.
“Hummingbird teaches us to recognize that what has happened in the past and what might happen in the future is not nearly as important as what is happening right now”
