“Get out of your mind and into your life,”

Steven Hayes

Counselling and Coaching for Young People and Adults

I help individuals navigate life's challenges by building the skills to stay connected to what truly matters. My approach is collaborative, tailored to each person, and grounded in the belief that everyone has inherent strengths that can be developed.

Drawing from Japanese Psychology (Morita Therapy), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and evidence-based strategies for behaviour change, we focus on strengthening emotional resilience, enhancing thinking skills, and creating clarity around values, direction, and priorities.

Sessions are practical and person-centred, offering space to understand what’s going on while also supporting long-term growth. We may also explore how lifestyle factors—such as sleep, movement, and breathing—impact mood, attention, and wellbeing.

Life can be unpredictable, but with the right support, it's possible to live with more clarity, connection, and meaning, even amidst challenges.

    - Bronwyn

  • I feel you have helped me to make some great decisions and the strategies you have given me have really improved my quality of life in a short timeframe.

    - Sue

  • What I loved most about our catch-ups, were the practical tools Carly was able to offer to almost any challenge I threw her. Each session I walked away with something I could implement. I found Carly to be particularly skilled at knowing what to offer to what situation.

    - Fiona

  • Working with Carly was truely an invaluable experience. I had finally felt a sense of clarity and insight to the life I had been so eager to lead, after years of exploring a range of different approaches that unfortunately didn’t work for me. Carly’s personable and whole hearted approach was hugely affective. She has gifted me with knowledge and tools to better my life.

    - Jade (22 years)

  • What you have implemented so far has been astronomical and the change in my child is phenomenal

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.
