We all go through hard things, externally and internally, but we don’t have to go through them alone. As someone who has benefited greatly from counselling, I know how helpful it can be to have someone walk alongside you as you try to navigate challenges in life.

I believe people intuitively know where they need to go and what they need to do to make things better for themselves, but sometimes lose connection with Self and as a result can feel stuck and confused. Should you decide to work with me, my role would be to guide you back home to yourself so that you can access your own inner wisdom and strength. 

 I also offer guidance in developing tools for self regulation and managing stress, as well as integrating ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), IFS (Internal family Systems), yogic breath work, mindfulness, meditation and somatic techniques for a more holistic approach.

Main areas of specialisation:

• anxiety
• mental health support
• depression
• trauma
• self discovery
• motherhood
• ADHD
• relationship issues (including neurodivergent relationships)
• support and guidance for parents of gender diverse children (lived experience)
• exploration of gender identity for adults
• support for gender transition

As a mother of two girls, and with over 12 years experience as a committed yoga practitioner and teacher, I draw on everything I have learned on my own journey of healing and navigating the challenges of motherhood to bring deep understanding and empathetic presence into my counselling. 

It is through my work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse teaching trauma informed yoga that I felt called to counselling as another modality that I can share to help women break free from their past and live more fully in the present.

My passion is to help people create more internal space and self compassion so that they can get to know themselves better and see clearly where they need to go, moving in a direction their heart calls.

My values are kindness, compassion, understanding, open hearted presence and honesty.

Sessions can be facilitated via zoom, in person (located in Currumbin or Tallebudgera), or ‘walk and talk’ at one of the many beautiful nature spots here in the Gold Coast.

Testimonials

“I felt instantly at ease with Naomi due to her calm and compassionate nature. I learned so much from her in just a few sessions and gained some really simple and practical strategies that I continue to use. The most valuable thing I gained from seeing Naomi was that she didn’t let me stay in my head and intellectualise things – she was incredible at helping me feel safe to drop into my body and work through old thought patterns and difficult emotions in a gentle but powerful way that has had a lasting impact. Naomi is an intuitive, passionate, authentic and highly skilled therapist who I am very grateful to have met.”

“From my first session with Naomi, I could feel her sense of calm & warmth. Every session has been exactly what I needed. The way she navigates the sessions, holds the space for me to cry, laugh & share my frustrations has been beautiful & nurturing. She has helped me through trivial matters & the important, deep matters of the heart. I would highly recommend Naomi to any woman or mother looking for a therapist who makes you feel seen & understood and empowered!”
~ Camilla

Naomi has been such a source of comfort and support during some very challenging times in my life. Her calm and empathetic nature makes me feel safe to be open and honest with my experiences and emotions. Naomi takes the time to listen, validate and provide practical tools to manage the emotion at hand plus work on the root cause of the symptom. I have learnt and healed so much. I am very grateful for our sessions together and her support.

“After a few failed attempts with psychologists I didn’t feel comfortable opening up too, I finally found Naomi when at my worst. I was so scared to take the call but her kindness and understanding instantly shone through and put me at ease. Within minutes I was telling her things I’d never said out loud before and after our first video session, I had to meet her in person. Now I’m happier than I’ve ever been and thought possible. I know I wouldn’t have gotten to this point without her and I might not be here at all. I owe her my life and will never forget it. Thanks again, I honestly Love you Naomi.”

“At 36 years old I’ve had many different forms of therapy to work through childhood trauma, emotional and mental health issues and relationship challenges, in the beginning it was talk therapy however, as more started to arise I began EMDR and Somatic Therapy. All of which had their own incredible and unique benefits to me holistically. Then at the beginning of 2023 I knew there was more work that I needed to do and I felt that traditional talk therapy wasn’t the right avenue; however, the practices of EMDR and Somatic Therapy were not relevant to what I was experiencing at the time. I then found Naomi on the psychology today website after weeks spent researching and looking for that connection with someone and it was an instant feeling over the phone that she was the right person for me. Her warm, gentle and soft nature was felt instantly through the phone as she opened up to me as to how she believed her line of work and methods could be right for me. On my first session with Naomi her authenticity shone as she gave space for me to share and feel everything that had been weighing heavy on me as she then proceeded to guide me through IFS (internal family systems) which I had read about and was really keen to make a part of my daily practices, this method of shadow parts gives Naomi’s offering a holistic, trauma informed approach to getting to know yourself and all your protective parts. She has helped me immensely and I could not recommend her high enough, I will keep her in my back pocket always and continue to work with Naomi as parts and feelings that I help with arise. Thank you Naomi, you’re one of a kind!”
