Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, my name is Olivia, I have Swiss heritage from both sides of my family and I was amongst the first generation to be born in Aotearoa, New Zealand. I now live in Australia in Gubbi Gubbi land and give respect to all its guardians, grateful that I can be here.
I work as a holistic psychologist. This means that I pay attention to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person. I have eight years of professional work experience in various settings with a range of people who have lived through all sorts of challenges, some of these include; relationship difficulties, trauma, sexual, mental, emotional and physical abuse, transitions, low self-worth, anxiety and depression.
In addition to my training, which includes a PhD in Psychology and a Masters in Clinical Psychology, my own journey of self-discovery guides me in helping others who feel unseen.
Whatever is going on for you right now, there is a way through. I know that within you is an innate wisdom and a way to find the answers you are looking for.
I enjoy helping people connect to their inner selves and find their own answers through exploration and honesty. It takes courage to see someone and discuss your inner life, it is an honour to be part of that journey and I don’t take the privilege lightly.
I work with what shows up in the moment. Especially bringing awareness to what sensations show up in the body. The body holds information and is sometimes disconnected from the mind, especially if there has been trauma in the past. I find that working with physical sensations is a helpful doorway into understanding what lies underneath.
The feelings that were once scary can start to feel more comfortable and you can start to understand sides of yourself that you never understood before. When you work through your self-judgement, and when you look underneath the pain of past hurts, you will be surprised at what you find.
If you would like to find out more about me or if the description of how I work resonates with you, send me a message and we can have a chat to see if we are a good fit.
I look forward to hearing from you.
