THE GOAL IS TO FEEL WHOLE.

CLARITY. REGULATION. REAL CHANGE.
THERAPY THAT GIVES YOU TOOLS, NOT JUST TALK.

Based in Bayside Melbourne, we’re a private practice supporting your mental and emotional health through counselling, coaching, and wellbeing education.

At Whole Self Therapy, we do things differently. We take a less clinical, more human approach to therapy and wellbeing—helping individuals, couples, and workplaces move beyond anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, and relationship challenges, and into clarity, calm, and confidence.

Our work blends evidence-based therapy with mind-body practices to strengthen self-trust, build emotional resilience, and create lasting change and safety that extends far beyond the session.

This is where awareness meets action- and you become the most secure, regulated, and intentional version of yourself.

We specialise in the following areas:
-Mental health and mindful living

-Emotional awareness and regulation
-Anxiety and stress management

-Burnout prevention and recovery

-Self-esteem and confidence
-Attachments and relationship support
-Life transitions, change and grief
