Counselling with Kim Holland

What is Counselling?

A relationship in which the sense of being understood by and existing in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned and self-possessed other creates the opportunity for transformation.¹

In a safe space, you can feel free to talk through your issue(s), challenges and ideals for growth.

  • You may be struggling with your relationships.

  • You may be looking for a new understanding of yourself.

  • You may be wanting to move forward within your life.

  • You may be seeking support and understanding with your child, or with caring for ageing parents.

  • You may feel lost and overwhelmed with grief.

  • You may be struggling to resolve an issue

  • … or just wanting to grow and flourish in a new way. 

Success in counselling relies on your willingness to take responsibility for your own life. My approach is to foster strength and resilience. Only then can difficulties be effectively addressed within a context of self-love and the skills and ability to gently hold yourself within that.

Counselling can help to foster your understanding of how to live a life in which you can be fully authentic and present to your experiences, both joyful and challenging. You can look to counselling for short-term relief; however, its potential can be far greater.

Trulybe Counselling with Kim Holland

Every client is an individual and has their own unique path. My job is to tune in, listen deeply, and support you on your journey towards true health.

What to expect in a Session:

I offer Counselling for individuals and couples in-person, and on-line using Zoom. My workspace located in Glen Forrest in the Perth Hills is in a private tranquil bush setting surrounded by trees and birds. My dogs can wander in and out (or not!). It's a space designed to put you at ease and allow your nervous system to relax.

Your session is for you. We only work with what you are comfortable working with and at a pace that allows you to integrate your discoveries. There is a natural regulating rhythm that can be facilitated within your session to ensure that overwhelm is avoided. It may not always be talking, there may be an opportunity to incorporate movement, somatic training, laughter, writing and so on.  I have great faith in the process and in the way things unfold. There is no pushing, just allowing and honouring the uniqueness of the individual within the therapeutic process.

  • It’s important to reflect on why you are coming and what you want to gain from the session. Whilst perhaps understanding that other things may emerge during the session that require loving consideration.

    It can help to choose a day and a time where you have time after the session to integrate. It’s good to reflect on who in your life can provide support outside the therapeutic setting.

    Drink plenty of water before your session and I recommend wearing comfortable clothing.

  • My qualification through Murdoch University is in person-centred counselling and encompasses cognitive therapy, mindfulness therapy, resilience and strength-based therapies and existential therapy. Suitable for individual therapy and couples’ counselling/relationship therapy.

  • I will ask you prior to your first session if you wish to have the dog(s) there. A lot of my clients find it is very soothing to have them in the room and some even have them on their lap for all or part of the session. Of course, the dogs understand that lap time is by invitation only!

love from our amazing clients

  • I cannot recommend working with Kim highly enough. She is a wonderfully compassionate, supportive, and professional therapist.

    A session with Kim always brings me back to my heart and I come away with a greater understanding of myself. She brings a lovely calm and caring presence to her sessions; you truly feel listened to and that she is present from her heart.

    I also appreciate Kim’s simple reminder to breathe when navigating life’s challenges.

  • Kim has the beautiful gift of effortlessly meeting and holding all parts of you with gentleness, honesty, compassion, humour and love.

    Her sessions create a safe and grounded space to explore your inner world and how it relates to your experience of the outer world.

    My personal journey with Kim over the past 4 years has led me closer to connection with and trust in life. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

    – Shannon

  • After an unexpected traumatic event I was in need of healing... but unsure what to do and who to see.

    A friend suggested I make an appointment with Kim. After my first session I felt a weight had been lifted and released in the most gentle and safest way, clarity and a sense of calmness is what followed... Every subsequent time I have seen Kim I leave feeling like I have journeyed to my true self and have clarity on a deeper level....to guide me on a daily basis. I now feel lighter, energised, the clutter has been cleared and I am aligned with my true self and able to move with life not against it. Just an enormous thank you Kim...for your professional, healing, insightful and nurturing sessions.
