Trauma-aware counselling for women, children and teens in Adelaide

Are you tired of being the one who holds everything together?

Heart-centred counselling for women who are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious or simply not like themselves anymore.

Maybe you're exhausted, but you can't seem to switch off

Your mind is constantly busy, you’re not sleeping well, and you’re always thinking about what needs to be done next.

You’re the responsible one. The one people rely on. You say yes when you really want to say no, put everyone else’s needs first, and feel guilty when you try to make time for yourself.

Perhaps you’re experiencing anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship difficulties, past trauma or the changes that can come with perimenopause. Or maybe you’re feeling flat, low or simply not like yourself anymore.

At Alite Mind, you don’t have to have it all figured out.

I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can talk openly, feel heard and begin to make sense of what’s happening for you. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused and grounded in compassion and mindfulness.

I work with women, children and teens, and also offer mindfulness and meditation for adults.

You are not broken, and you don’t need to be fixed. We can start with where you are, with warmth, curiosity and compassion.

Whatever brings you here, you are welcome exactly as you are.

No GP referral required.
NDIS plan and self-managed clients accepted.

Guided Mindfulness Meditation

When life feels busy and your mind won’t stop, mindfulness can offer a little space to pause and breathe. My guided meditation sessions are gentle and accessible, helping you settle a busy mind, reconnect with yourself and bring more calm into everyday life.

Alite Mind Mindfulness Group Workshop with Natalie

Mindfulness for Workplaces & Groups

Mindfulness doesn’t have to be complicated. My workshops offer practical, accessible tools to help people slow down, manage stress, quiet a busy mind and respond to everyday pressures with greater awareness.

Designed for workplaces, organisations and community groups, sessions can be tailored to your team’s needs and support greater calm, connection and wellbeing.

When Burnout Hides Behind the Smile

This short animation reflects what many women quietly carry high-functioning exhaustion, people-pleasing, and the pressure of always being “on”.

At Alite Mind, I support women to gently step out of this cycle through mindfulness, breathwork, and nervous system-aware counselling. If you’re feeling wired, overwhelmed, or simply worn thin, this space is for you.

I recently attended my first guided meditation session with Natalie at Alite Mind, and it was such a positive experience. As someone whose mind is constantly busy, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to switch off, but Natalie created such a calm, welcoming and supportive environment that I found myself settling into the experience much more than I expected. She has a lovely way of holding the space without any pressure, gently guiding everyone through the session. I left feeling calmer, more grounded and looking forward to coming back. If you’ve been curious about meditation but aren’t sure where to start, I’d highly recommend giving Natalie a try.

I completed Natalie's 5 week Restoring You program earlier this year and I can highly recommend it. Each session is guided by Natalie who absolutely exudes warmth and a generosity of spirit that ensures you feel comfortable with learning the various meditation techniques as she guides you through learning useful tools like journalling and quieting the overthinking mind. I have definitely taken the lessons from these sessions and applied them in my daily life. 💗

I feel blessed to have met Natalie in 2022. Through her own lived experiences Natalie personifies the qualities needed to offer the safe, supportive, and caring space through Alite Mind for women, children and teens. For all her professionalism, Natalie is still able to connect, articulate and meet needs in a personable, fun, but real way as she is completely heart centred in all offerings from counselling one on one, workshops, and guiding meditation. She is passionate and a leader in supporting all to shine through their on light. I look forward to spending more time with Natalie and grateful for her support and services.
