Welcome to Moksha Holistic Counselling
Holistic Mental Health and Trauma Informed Integrative Therapy.
Welcome - I’m Emily.
I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Yoga Teacher - Hatha, Yin and Trauma Sensitive Yoga - Clinical Supervisor, Counsellor and soon-to-be Naturopath.
I am an Integrative Therapist, specialising in trauma informed therapeutic support for whole-person healing.
I recognise that healing from trauma requires a holistic and individualised approach to support both body and mind. Through a range of therapeutic modalities, I support individuals in their journey towards recovery and wellness in a safe, open and non-judgemental space.
I feel privileged to support both individuals and fellow Allied Health professionals, in their own healing journey and to provide embodied practices to support health and wellbeing.
I incorporate traditional talk therapy with body and breath work (pranayama) to provide a holistic approach to mental wellness.
A holistic approach —
Healing from mental health challenges and trauma can feel overwhelming. I’ve supported individuals in their journey to mental wellness for over 15 years.
I believe a therapeutic approach that focuses on supporting both the body and mind, paves the best way forward for healing and recovery.
My own lived experience has led to my own journey of self discovery and study in a range of therapeutic modalities, including:
· Social Work
· Psychology
· Counselling
· Yoga
· Breathwork
· Meditation
· Nutrition & Herbal Medicine
I aim to share the tools and theories via a multi-modality therapeutic approach and support individuals to integrate these simple - but effective practices - into their everyday life.

Holistic individual counselling
Holistic therapy provides an all-encompassing approach to mental health care, whereby both the body and mind are supported.
Together, we develop an individualised plan to assist you to reach your goals and optimise both your physical and mental health - all within a strength based and solution-focused framework.
Clinical Supervision
I adopt a clinician-centred approach to safeguard Allied Health professionals against vicarious trauma, burnout and compassion fatigue.

FAQs

Sessions are typically 50-60 minutes in length, and are accessed from the comfort of your own home via zoom.
Guided by your individual preferences and counselling goals, I will support you to develop a treatment plan that feels right for you.
Typically, a session will entail:
• Breathing exercise or trauma-informed movement at commencement of session to regulate nervous system
• Check in and follow up from previous sessions goals
• Discussion of issues or concerns (talk-based therapy)
• Holistic recommendations and treatment plan
• Follow up email with resources and recommendations
Breathwork and movement are completely optional; as choice, autonomy and self-determination are very important facets to your recovery. We will chat about your preferences during our first session.
Herbal medicine, including herbal prescriptions and dietary plans, will be added as offerings in 2025. This will provide an even more holistic approach to trauma and mental health care. Watch this space!
