Hi, I'm Natalie
You don’t have to hold this on your own.
If you’re a woman, teen, or a parent seeking support for your child who is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or navigating depression, grief, or life’s challenges—you’re not alone. Life can feel heavy at times, especially when emotions become difficult to understand or manage. This is a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and begin to gently make sense of what you’re carrying.
I’m Natalie, a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association, and I support women, teens, and children through life’s challenges with a compassionate, mindfulness-based approach. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been someone others naturally turn to a calm, grounded presence who listens deeply and creates space for people to feel seen and supported. Becoming a counsellor felt like a natural extension of who I am.
My work combines evidence-based counselling with mindfulness, creative expression, and gentle, practical tools to support emotional awareness and resilience. Rather than overwhelming you with clinical language or rigid techniques, I meet you where you are offering a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

With children, I use creative and play-based approaches to help them safely express emotions, build confidence, and feel understood in a way that suits their developmental stage. I also support parents in understanding what their child may be experiencing, helping you feel more confident in how to respond and support them at home.
With women and teens, I provide a space to gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface, helping you make sense of your emotions, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
My path into this work has also been shaped by lived experience. I’ve navigated major surgeries, experienced domestic violence at a young age, live with chronic pain, and was diagnosed with lymphoma over a decade ago. These experiences have deepened my empathy and strengthened my belief in the importance of slowing down, being present, and creating space for healing.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a mum to two amazing young adults, a wife, and an animal lover. Our home is full of life from our two talkative parrots to our gentle labradoodle, Holly. I feel most grounded by the ocean, where I spend time reflecting, meditating, and watching the pelicans glide reminding me of the quiet rhythm of life.
