Welcome
hI, i’m KIM
I work with adults, adolescents and children
Offering Energy Therapy, Counselling and Creative Arts/Play Therapy
Positive change is possible for anyone and everyone. It doesn't mean life gets easier, but it does mean you can learn to deal with it differently. With greater strength, clarity and resilience and with greater love and compassion for yourself, for others and for this amazing and challenging experience of life!
As Carl Jung, a personal favourite of mine, once said, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are". To do the work required to integrate the shadow self and to discover the light within you. Not easy work, but essential in navigating the world today with hope and integrity.
So, if you're looking for someone to support you in your work to heal. If you're looking for someone who has a lot of lived experience and a lot of tools in my tool kit to meet you wherever you are. If you're looking for someone who can meet your most vulnerable self with gentleness, understanding and compassion, and who is prepared to be honest with kindness, then bring your courage and let's start.
Here are some of the ways I can help
Find your path to move forward in life
Improve your relationships
Feel a greater capacity for strength, courage, resilience and joy
Discover a new self-understanding
Learn to be authentic
Find support within a grief process
Resolve or heal an issue
Cultivate a healthy approach to ageing
Or just grow and flourish in a new way
What's important is finding someone you feel you can trust to undertake a journey of discovery and change with you, and then summoning your courage to do just that!
I have a wealth of learned and lived experience. I've been a student, a corporate leader, a classroom assistant, a full-time Mum and a therapist. I've experienced trauma, I've grieved and continue to grieve those I've lost, and I continue to learn about myself and my capacity to meet life as honestly and openly as I can.
I have learnt, and have witnessed in others that it is possible to suffer and yet find a level of peace, joy and contentment within life. Not by holding on, but by relinquishing the very beliefs and attitudes about yourself and life that no longer serve you.
I've been a holistic therapist for the last fifteen years, working with clients across Perth from our Glen Forrest and Subiaco locations, and my job is to create enough space, safety and guidance so that you can find what you need within yourself and within life.
Only you can take responsibility for your own life. What I offer is an informed and supportive framework as you move forward.

HOW I CAN HELP SUPPORT YOU
My Experience
Feel your pain, find your joy, and truly live.
Growth and change can be explored from a space of safety and trust. We can discover a path forward to greater strength, resilience and effectiveness in your own, or your child’s life.
How I can help
COUNSELLING
Work through particular challenges or issues you are experiencing by identifying the issue, acknowledging the impact, and discovering the path of resolution. Usually in one to five sessions. Develop strength, resilience and self-supportive behaviours in a safe space.
ENERGY/SOMATIC THERAPY
Healing and discovery of the self through Cranio Sacral therapy, Integrated Therapeutic Alignment (ITA), and/or somatic techniques. Ideal if you want to feel connected and aligned, rather than disconnected and disillusioned. Ideal as a single session, or monthly for regular tune ups.
CREATIVE ARTS THERAPY
Healing and discovery of the self through creative or play based expression. Ideal for children, adolescents and adults who find it difficult to articulate their pain and their hopes. Usually one to five sessions, or monthly for ongoing self development.

Verbal consent is always sought prior to any therapeutic interventions, and I encourage you to ask questions if you are unsure of anything.

Please bring a water bottle to your session and wear comfortable clothing if possible.
what to expect from your first session
When you arrive, I will invite you to fill out a new client form before spending time getting acquainted and relaxing into the space.
I use a gentle form of enquiry to begin to understand your reason(s) for coming and what you hope to achieve or discover through the change process. We will discuss what approach or combination of approaches resonate for you.
Please note that if the session is for your child, I will contact you prior to the first session to gain an understanding of what is needed.
There is beauty all around us if we only have eyes to see.
