Hi, I'm Larissa!

I am passionate about helping people improve their mental health and wellbeing, to connect back with their body, to regulate your nervous system and to work towards your values; working towards living the life that you desire. I believe as humans we have a deep longing to be seen, heard, and understood and to be in connection with ourselves and others.

As a holistic counsellor I provide a safe space for you to share your struggles and explore new coping strategies to heal. I trust that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to guide you; to sit with you in the pain of the past or the struggles of the present, and to look to the future to help you create the change that you desire. I want you to succeed!

I have worked as a Social Worker and Counsellor for the past 18yrs in various settings including Mental Health Outreach, Health and Hospital Social Work, Family Support and Perinatal and Postnatal Mental Health. Over the years I have gained a wealth of knowledge about the human experience of trauma, pain and suffering. I have witnessed and supported many individuals in their desire and ability to heal from their past and change their future.

I offer assistance with:

Anxiety and Depression.
Perinatal and Postnatal Depression and Anxiety.
Managing emotions, trauma and Stress; Increasing your window of tolerance.
Mind -body integration; understanding and exploring the deep connection between thoughts, emotions and the body
Life transitions; navigating emerging adulthood – from adolescent to adult, Matrescence - Motherhood, becoming a parent, changes in work or life direction.
Implementing practical tools and strategies for everyday life
Building resilience, self-confidence, and overcoming self-doubt
Calming your central nervous system during stressful situations
Implementing self-care strategies tailored to your needs
Skills to improve your communication and relationships
Finding joy and fulfillment in your everyday life
Setting and achieving goals for the future

My approach includes looking at your life holistically: mind, body, heart and soul, as they are interconnected. I use a variety of techniques from Mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Meditation and Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic and Narrative Therapies to name just a few.

I also have a passion for Meditation and Mindfulness and believe that these are wonderful ways to support your mental health, supporting your nervous system to regain alignment, connect back in with your body and to quieten your busy mind! Offering your body time to rest and connect in with your inner voice and wisdom. I offer these tools to support you in your counselling session if you choose, or as a stand alone therapy offering one-one personalised emotional support and guided meditation sessions.
