Holistic Therapy for Women Online & Fremantle
Hi, I’m Gabriella: An experienced therapist for ambitious women with busy mings, deep emotions and sensitive souls.
So glad you’re here! I love to help people be seen; Authentically, uniquely, and gently.
I want to hear YOUR story. I believe all experiences are invaluable. What you have to say is important, and what you feel is sacred.
I am your keeper, your lighthouse, your witness, your scribe.
I am a contemporary, female therapist who speaks your language.
I’m proud to have been a Finalist in the Fremantle Chamber of Commerce Health & Wellness Business awards for my unique therapy approach, superior customer care and holistic business approach.
I’m a dynamic, spirited and warm-hearted female therapist.
I’m resilient, layered, soulful and I march to the beat of my own drum.
I am a registered counsellor with a Masters Degree in Counselling who thrives on coaching women from emotional overwhelm to self-confidence so they learn to trust themselves to take care of their inner world with grace.
Based in Fremantle, Perth I operate a successful private practice offering a variety of dynamic and holistic services that include individual counselling, couples counselling, group courses and coaching, meditation library and digital resources I have created.
I bring my heart energy to every service in my practice and I love assisting my clients to discover their own personal unique blueprint of who they are. Together we explore their inner world, dismantle what no longer serves them and build a new foundation for their life that is based on their own personal core values and unique self.
I enjoy teaching women how to inspire themselves to reach higher and find their own inner self-inspiration, while I keep their newly grounding spark alive until they are confident to walk their journey on their own.
What it’s like working with me
One of my greatest joys is assisting my clients to formally meet their inner critic, the little negative voice from within that often sits in the driver’s seat of their lives. Together we explore this relationship, the fear, thoughts, emotions, insecurities and resistances that impact your lives.
I am not what most consider the stereotypical counsellor, I don’t believe in diagnoses, pathologizing clients or viewing the human experience through limited parameters. I prioritise women's unique experiences, stories and questionings as most important and value their complex humanity rather than seeing it as their weakness.
With me, you’ll learn to understand and appreciate your inner critic and in turn, love your inner world.
I provide strategies, tools, knowledge and wisdom on how to re-build your self-confidence and self-love.
My special interests are in working with beautifully sensitive, deep thinking and feeling women.
Working with me will enable you to:
Realise that you no longer have to hide, deny, numb or feel overwhelmed by your thoughts, emotions and experiences in life.
Heal your Inner Child through somatic and compassion focused self-inquiry.
Wisely hold your busy mind, deep emotions and sensitive soul.
Learn how to self-soothe, soulfully and support all inner parts of you.
Gain confidence in managing the hard stays, so you can still thrive.
Learn how to keep your inner critic at bay moving it to the passenger’s seat and reclaiming the driver’s seat of your life.
Understand and express your emotions and take care of yourself in a holistically nourishing way.
Become brave in relationships and in your life.
Guide yourself through decisions that are aligned with your core values.
I am proud of the warm, safe and compassionate space I create to allow my clients this opportunity to discover new parts of their inner world. It is an honour to walk beside a person and witness their courage and bravery as they move through their path of transformation and create a life from their heart that is fulfilling and meaningful to them.
The knowledge and wisdom I share are delivered in a heart-centered, holistic and non-clinical approach.
Holistic Approach
The knowledge and wisdom I share with others is delivered is heart-centered, holistic and non-clinical.
I deeply care about my clients, and believe in holistic support that is non-judgemental and drives to achieve the highest good for each one of them. My approach is a blend of therapeutic, spiritual and mindfulness principles and I use these to coach my clients through their difficult times with gentleness, curiosity, compassion and radical acceptance.
My clients have the opportunity to work with me in a variety of ways, not just through the silo of counselling. I offer a range of supportive meditations, online resources, access to myself and a community of like-minded women.
With over a decade of experience supporting women both in Australia and internationally I have collected a soulful arsenal of knowledge, wisdom and experience that is broad, dynamic and rich.

Up for a little story?
I’ve had quite a unique life story as I lead with my heart, follow my passions and dream big. I completed a Bachelor of Social Science and a Master’s Degree in International health before I was 21 and spent the first part of my career working for many years in Sub-Saharan Africa managing women’s sexual and productive health projects and working in various consulting and advisory roles.
I established a consulting company and travelled to what often felt like the ends of the earth. I met and worked people in the tiniest villages, headmen, chiefs, community groups and female leaders.
International experience with people from all walks of life has been humbling, grounding and the greatest adventure of my life. It was also the most stressful, anxiety-provoking and uncertain time too. I’d wake up every day panicked, suffered anxiety all day, and hated the thought of facing another day.
Upon returning to Perth, I spent two years reading, learning and soaking up everything I could about how to make sense of the hard times. I soaked up everything I could about therapy, spirituality, philosophy and self-development, and, looking back, those years were the most transformative and invaluable times of my life.
Returning to Australia…
I returned home unexpectantly, and then entered a period of total inner and outer tranistion.
I spent two years reading, learning and soaking up everything I could about how to make sense of the hard times. I soaked up everything I could about therapy, spirituality, philosophy and self-development, and, looking back, those years were the most transformative and invaluable times of my life.
I could finally focus on my inner world, rather than chasing outside success, and I learnt to love it. My body became home to me; a safe place that I would turn to time and time again, knowing I’d have my own back and know how to work through whatever challenge was thrown at me.
I let go of the intense anxiety I felt everyday working abroad, and my mind became settled too.
The resilience, grit and tenacity I developed have held me in good stead for every other challenge thrown my way. Very little ruffles my feathers these days, and now I’m able to hold a strong space for my clients.
Becoming a counsellor...
The biggest change was leaving behind international work and accepting the knowing that I wanted to be a counsellor and work one on one with clients in a more dedicated, focused way. I had learned that I am a Highly Sensitive woman and I needed to nurture and support that as much as I could.
The best decision I ever made was to retrain and complete my Master of Counselling degree in 2015 and immerse myself in compassion-focused meditation training.
I truly believe a counsellor can only hold a client to the depths they have explored themselves, and my personal and professional journey has equipped with me solid, meaningful and long-lasting agents for transformation that transcends any textbook.
As a dedicated counsellor and meditation coach, I look forward to hearing about your own personal journey. I’d like to inspire you to make the most of your life experiences, especially the ones you’re struggling with now.
I know you’ll come out of it a stronger, wiser and more resilient person when you take the hard times and allow them to transform you for the better.
Counselling helps you do just that, and it’s my greatest joy to be your unwavering guide.
