Hi, my name is
Sandra, and I’m a clinically registered counsellor with fifteen years’
experience in both private practice and not-for-profit organisations. I offer specialised online counselling support
in Australia and face-to-face sessions in Port Stephens, Medowie, and Soldiers
Point for:
Bereavement and grief counselling: following the death of a loved one or
family member, or the unresolved grief that has been carried for a long
time
Relationship and separation
support: helping you emotionally
navigate a relationship breakdown and the major life changes that follow.
Pet loss counselling: honouring and processing the deep
grief of losing a beloved animal.
Stress, anxiety and depression: creating a supportive space and
help for strengthening emotional resilience
Lifestyle transitions and change: helping you navigate the
uncertainty of deciding to change something, as well as coping with the
loss of a home or a job.
We heal at the depth we were wounded; honour the time your heart needs to rebuild its chambers.
Etheric Echoes
Grief affects every part of us - emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. While we have a remarkable capacity to adjust to change, grief can sometimes place immense demands on our coping resources, especially after a significant loss. Grief is also deeply personal, and no two people will experience it in the same way, so sometimes it’s hard to talk to others who may not fully understand what grief can be like and what you’re personally going through. This is where counselling can help. The process of grief counselling isn’t about forgetting the past and what you’ve lost, or ‘fixing’ your grief. It’s about gradually realising that a life can be lived where grief and happiness can exist side by side, and together, we can find ways to make small, intentional shifts that will help you move forward at your own pace. Depending on your own unique situation, you may wish to meet up with me for one or two sessions or come and see me more regularly if it will be helpful to you.

Coaching is different to counselling in that it is more outward looking and focused on taking some action to doing something different. It can provide practical tools and strategies tailored around your own unique situation to change something that will make life better. As coach Mary Lee Robinson once said, ‘counselling helps you get on your feet; coaching helps your feet to begin moving forward!’ My personal growth coaching sessions will help to facilitate the right kind of conversation to provide clarity around what’s important to you, what might be missing in your life that you long for, and what thoughts and beliefs might be keeping you stuck. Depending on your needs, you are invited to commit to four to six coaching sessions, to give you the time to lay some groundwork toward change. We will discuss this during our first contact call together. Let me help support you to stay focused on what you want to change.
