Holistic Counselling Support Services
-
1:1 counselling can support you to gain self awareness, process life changes, develop healthy inner dialogue and improve the relationship with yourself. We often use Parts therapy or Internal Family Systems which looks at the different parts of oneself. Counselling can be helpful for anxiety, depression, grief, relational content and confidence, or self love.

Inner Motus works with those in relationships (including polyamorous relationships) to learn to understand each other, bring awareness to patterns, build trust and safety, and communication. I specialise in creating awareness through insights, education and tools that support you to make practical changes in the emotional, communicative and intimacy landscape of your relational dynamic. I work directly with both people individually, as well as how the interplay happens in the “us/we/our” part of the relationship using deep democracy, all parts are welcome and worked with.

Group and individual Conscious Connected Breathwork sessions are offered at Inner Motus Therapy. 1:1 sessions are 1.5 hours and provide a therapeutic space for deep healing. Group breathwork is a powerful tool to open consciousness and heightened awareness states
Who are our services for?
Inner Motus specialises in supporting people experiencing relationship content, including challenging family and partner relationships, attachment and childhood traumas, parenting support, grief states and conflict resolution. We work with couples, parents, individuals, families, LGBTIQA+ identifying people, and those experiencing a disability. Counselling is for anyone who wants to talk about what is going on in their lives, relationships, and inner worlds. It can be a very helpful short term therapy for getting through tough times in our lives.
“The path of self-creation is not for the faint of soul. It will take everything you’ve got to overcome misguided cultural conditioning and seemingly impossible circumstances. And, even then, you will have to contend with your own internalized shame and self-doubt. It’s an uncomfortable adventure that will stretch your consciousness well beyond its habitual range of e- motion. And yet, do you really have a choice? Isn’t that why you are here?”
When Counselling can Support your Journey?
Holistic counselling is good for times when we want to engage our mental processes, our awareness of self and patterns. We look at the whole system (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual bodies) from a holistic lens, understanding the intricate nature of the human experience; as well as taking into account the systems many of us operate within. Counselling can be helpful when working through challenging transitions such as:
Moving through grief states
Relationship patterns
Working with conflict in relationships or work
Attachment wounding
Nervous system support and education
Working through family dynamics and internal family systems
Challenges with purpose and work
Stress and health issues
Understanding and working with your mental health
Big life transitions and changes
Talk therapy can be a limited form of therapy when used solo or for complex trauma, including childhood attachment wounding, chronic pain, PTSD, Identity Disorders. Counselling can be a very good “bookend” for these types of presentations. For example, talking and building a trusting relationship with a therapist can help us ease into deeper trauma somatic based therapies, such as breathwork. Counselling can be used in conjunction and alongside other trauma specific based modalities.
Modalities and Techniques we use during the Sessions
we aim to have all our session be trauma informed (working within your window of tolerance and we slowly build this capacity). We will do our best to communicate with you about your needs and if our services will be supportive for where you are at. We use the following counselling modalities as needed throughout sessions:
Internal Family systems (Inner child, inner parent and conscious adult)
Family systems (external family patterns and dynamics
Guided Imagery
Somatic based techniques to support you to connect with the felt senses in your body
Transpersonal therapeutic techniques
Existential, Transpersonal and Psychodynamic techniques
Sessions can be held either online or in person. Please contact me for in person sessions. You will need to have a quiet safe place to do the sessions. It may be helpful for you to wear comfortable clothes, be at a temperature that is comfortable for you, bring water, a tea and a journal.
