A soft place to land during lifeâs hardest moments.
Guiding you through trauma, grief and anxiety with specialised support and understanding.
Specialised counselling and psychotherapy for trauma, grief, anxiety and nervous system wellbeing.
The Still Space is a boutique counselling and psychotherapy practice specialising in trauma, grief, anxiety and nervous system wellbeing. We support adults, children and families across the Sutherland Shire and Australia-wide via telehealth through integrative, evidence-informed care that goes beyond surface-level coping and supports meaningful, lasting emotional wellbeing.
Founded from a deep belief that within each of us exists an inner place of steadiness we can return to, even amidst overwhelm, grief, anxiety and lifeâs most challenging seasons, The Still Space was created to offer something more than traditional talk-therapy alone.
A space to pause. To feel genuinely supported and understood. To reconnect with yourself beneath the layers of survival, stress and emotional exhaustion.
Located in Engadine, and offering nationwide telehealth services, The Still Space offers a warm, grounded and non-clinical approach where people are met as whole human beings not problems to be fixed.
Our work combines counselling and psychotherapy with nervous system-aware support to help clients better understand emotional patterns, regulate overwhelm, rebuild self-trust and move forward with greater clarity, connection and emotional wellbeing.
The Still Space Philosophy
The Still Space was created from a deep belief that emotional wellbeing support should feel different.
Not rushed. Not cold. Not clinical. And never one-size-fits-all.
We understand that many people seeking support are carrying far more than stress alone. Beneath trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout or emotional exhaustion is often a nervous system that has been under pressure for a very long time.
At The Still Space, we offer specialised counselling and psychotherapy that supports the whole person, emotionally, psychologically and physiologically.
Born from lived experience, professional expertise and years of learning, The Still Space reflects a philosophy of care grounded in compassion, depth and meaningful therapeutic support for the whole person. Our work is grounded in evidence-informed approaches while remaining deeply compassionate, relational and tailored to the individual needs of each client.
We support adults, children and families navigating trauma and nervous system dysregulation, grief and loss, anxiety and chronic stress, emotional overwhelm and burnout, self-esteem and identity challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship and family challenges and major life transitions
Located in Engadine, The Still Space has evolved into a boutique mental wellbeing practice supporting the Sutherland Shire community through integrative, personalised care.
Above all, we believe meaningful change begins when people feel genuinely understood and supported enough to move beyond survival mode and reconnect with themselves and their lives.

Child and Teen Counselling and Play Therapy
At The Still Space, I offer a safe and supportive environment for children and teens to process grief and trauma in their own way. When young people struggle to express their emotions, their pain can surface through behavior changes, anxiety, or withdrawal. Through in-person and online counselling (for ages 12+), I help them navigate loss, trauma, and emotional challenges with compassion, giving them the tools to heal and feel understood.

My approach to counselling is compassionate, trauma-informed, and deeply attuned to the complexities of grief and loss.

You donât have to carry this alone.
