Healing from trauma isn’t about “moving on” — it’s about feeling safe, connected, and grounded again.

Trauma can affect how we think, feel, react, and relate to the world. Healing is not linear, and it’s not something you’re meant to navigate alone.

What healing often looks like:
🌿 Understanding your triggers and responses
🌿 Learning to calm and regulate your nervous system
🌿 Rebuilding trust in yourself and others
🌿 Gently challenging old beliefs shaped by survival
🌿 Allowing compassion to replace self-blame
🌿 Taking small, steady steps toward feeling whole again

Counselling provides a safe, supportive space to do this work. Together, we explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you — helping you make sense of the past, strengthen coping tools, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that deserve care and understanding.

You don’t have to rush. You just need a safe place to start ❤️‍🩹

🌿 Counsellor vs Psychologist — What’s the Difference?

When it comes to looking after your mental health, it can be confusing to know who to see — a counsellor or a psychologist? Both provide valuable support, but their training and focus are a little different.

🧠 Psychologists
✔️ Have at least six years of university study and supervised practice
✔️ Can assess, diagnose and treat mental health conditions
✔️ Often use clinical assessments and evidence-based treatment plans

💬 Counsellor - ACA Registered Level 3 or 4
✔️ Hold a bachelor degree or higher in counselling and are trained in therapeutic communication and emotional wellbeing
✔️ Focus on helping people navigate life challenges — such as stress, trauma, relationships, grief and encourage personal growth
✔️ Offers a person-centred and evidence-based approach to help build coping strategies and resilience

Both professionals play an important role in supporting mental health and wellbeing. The best fit depends on your goals, needs, and the type of support you’re looking for.

If you’re seeking a safe, understanding space to talk, heal and grow — a qualified counsellor can help you take that next step.

🌿 Why Human-to-Human Counselling Still Matters 🌿

In a time when AI chatbots can listen, respond, and even offer comfort — it’s easy to wonder if technology can truly replace a counsellor.

AI can offer information.
Humans offer connection.
But here’s the truth: healing happens between humans 💛

A counsellor doesn’t just hear your words — they feel your story. They notice the pauses, the tone, the subtle changes that say what words can’t. They bring empathy, presence, and genuine understanding — things no algorithm can replicate.

If you’re going through something difficult, please reach out to a real person who can meet you where you are and join you on your journey 🌸

🌿 Supporting Young People 🌿

Childhood and adolescence can be full of change, challenges, and emotions that sometimes feel overwhelming. Counselling offers young people a safe and supportive space to talk things through — without judgment — and to learn healthy ways to manage what life brings their way.

Through counselling, young people can:
💫 Build confidence and self-esteem
💫 Develop emotional awareness and resilience
💫 Strengthen relationships and communication
💫 Navigate school, friendships, and family stress
💫 Feel more grounded, capable, and hopeful about the future

At Regain Balance Counselling, I’m passionate about supporting young people 9+ years to understand themselves better, develop practical coping skills, and feel empowered to take positive steps forward.

If you or someone you care about could benefit from this support, I’d love to help 🌼

October is Mental Health Month 💚

October is Mental Health Month—a time to pause, check in, and remember our mental health is just as important as our physical health.

In my counselling practice, I see every day how stress, anxiety, depression, and overwhelm affect people in different ways. You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support—sometimes just talking things through can make all the difference.

Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to share what’s on your mind, explore feelings, and build practical strategies to cope and move forward.

If you’ve been feeling low, stuck, or simply not like yourself, this month is the perfect reminder: you don’t have to go through it alone.
