Relational connection, Room for complexity,

My Approach

I take a relational, body-aware and trauma-informed approach to therapy, recognising the ways our experiences shape how we feel, relate and move through the world. Drawing from counselling, psychotherapy, somatic practices and yoga, I work collaboratively, with attention to each person's needs, pace and capacity.

Therapy isn't always easy. Sometimes it means sitting with uncomfortable feelings, looking at familiar patterns or making space for things that have been difficult to face. My intention is to offer a space where you can explore these things without pressure to rush, have the answers or be anything other than where you are.

Hi, I’m Tayla

I'm a counsellor, somatic practitioner, and yoga teacher based in Melbourne. I've always been curious about what it means to be human, and the ways our experiences shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. I believe that when we slow down and make space for our experiences with curiosity and compassion, meaningful change can begin to unfold.

A gentle invitation.

Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable. Whether you arrive with clear intentions or simply a sense that something needs attention, you are welcome to begin exactly where you are.

Body and Mind

I am interested in the ways our bodies hold experiences, emotions, patterns, and wisdom that words alone cannot always reach. Depending on your needs, sessions may include body awareness, movement, breath, and nervous system-informed practices alongside conversation, creating space to gently listen to what is being felt, sensed, and held within.
