‘Deep Listening’ is an ability to attune to the subtleties in connection. With presence and self awareness, we learn more about ourselves and each other.

We are wired for connection. Relationships are a central part of our lives and a rich area for growth. All relationships, including friendships, family, and intimate partnerships offer reflections for us to know ourselves. We are shaped by our relationships, and we shape our relationships.

Barbra - Counsellor for Couples and Individuals

Personal relational experiences have inspired my desire to support others.

My professional training draws from psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, somatic psychology, yoga, music and nature-based teachings received gratefully from elders of indigenous wisdom. I have facilitated workshops in Bali, Australia and California. I have counselled couples at The Place retreats in Bali (2022) and individuals at Interrelate in Australia (2024). I run retreats for couples privately and have supported many clients on their journey.
