Individual Counselling Online Across Australia

Individual counselling offers a dedicated space to explore the experiences, relationships, losses and life circumstances that may be influencing how you feel, relate, cope and respond today.

At New Leaf with Nisha, my approach integrates trauma-informed counselling, somatic therapy, attachment-aware practice and psychodynamic understanding. Together, we explore both the stories you know well and the experiences that may be harder to name, including losses and forms of grief that are not always recognised by others, or even immediately understood as grief.

I Commonly Support Clients With:

• relational trauma, attachment wounds, and difficult relationship patterns

• people pleasing, self abandonment, and patterns of over responsibility

• emotional caregiving, parentification, and feeling responsible for everyone else's needs

• being highly capable while privately exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself

• grief and loss, including disenfranchised, intergenerational, and reproductive grief

• fertility experiences, IVF, pregnancy loss, and involuntary childlessness

• workplace stress, perfectionism, burnout, and emotional exhaustion

• life transitions, identity shifts, migration experiences, and cultural expectations

• loneliness, belonging, and cultivating meaningful connection

Patterns, Loss and the Experiences That Shape Us

The ways we relate to ourselves and others do not develop in isolation. Relationships, family systems, culture, loss, significant life experiences and the roles we have learned to occupy can all shape how we respond to challenge, connection, conflict, uncertainty and care.

Some experiences leave a clear sense of loss. Others are quieter or more difficult to explain: a relationship that changed, a hoped-for future that did not happen, a part of yourself that had to be put aside, an experience that was never fully acknowledged, or a life transition that brought both change and grief. And, these experiences can continue to influence how we relate to ourselves and others, sometimes without an obvious connection to grief.

Individual counselling at New Leaf with Nisha provides a collaborative space to explore these influences and the patterns that may have developed around them.

Rather than viewing these patterns as problems to eliminate, our work begins with understanding how they developed, what they may have helped you manage, and the circumstances in which they first became necessary.

This means making room for what has happened without rushing to judge, label or pathologise it.

Therapy is not about becoming someone different. It can create possibilities for relating differently to yourself, your experiences and the patterns that may no longer serve you in the same way while making space for grief, meaning, connection and what may still be unfolding.
