How I work with you
as your holistic counsellor and healer
What it is like to work with me
When you work with me, you are embarking on a sacred and empowering journey to heal, deepen and transform.
Healing is about supporting you to transform difficulties and to become more whole and empowered.
There is a bounty of beauty, wisdom and power to claim from the feelings that stalk you or you have pushed down, in the wounds of trauma living inside you, your grief from loss and the parts of you that have been marginalised and hurt. It’s also there inside your dreams and longings that always seem just out of reach and in your confused and stuck places.
Healing brings you into relationship with the many gifts, resources, qualities and skills that you don’t realise that you have, have been pushed outside you or shamed, and helps you to integrate and consciously use them.
Sessions are guided by your intention and are experiential and infusive.
Sessions are guided by your intention and the issue you want to explore. Your sessions with me are experiential and infusive, not just talk therapy. You feel different when you leave because you are being supported and cared for as a whole being physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, ancestrally and energetically.
I love to use my intuitive, empathic and shamanic gifts to support you. Through symbolic and intuitive insight and knowing, as well as subtle sensing of feelings and energy, I can track the unseen and unknown to find your hidden edges and the roots of your challenge so that I can facilitate meaningful healing and transformative change.
This tracking helps to identify the source of your issues. There is a great power in naming the unknown or unseen because it is then that we can bring awareness to the factors that are contributing to your experience and what is needed to create the change you are seeking. Sometimes this awareness is enough for an issue to dissolve. We can also use different processes, tools and modalities for deeper clarity, insight and transformation.
I have an incredible ability to name, discover and hold down your growing edge –the doorway between who you know yourself to be and who you are becoming and the space between the known and the unknown– so you can work it, go over it successfully and evolve.
Modalities you may experience
Spirit Magic
One of the core modalities I use is Spirit Magic.
I work with specially curated teams of angels, spirit guides and light beings to facilitate healing. Through shamanic tracking and talking to my Spirit team, we work out what is needed and the Spirit team implements the healing.
Using Spirit Magic, I can support healing in many areas including:
clearing difficult and psychic energies
changing beliefs, agreements and vows
emotional healing
clearing energy cords
creating clarity on relational patterns and bringing healing to those patterns
ancestral healing
past life life healing
trauma reversal
soul retrieval
mass soul healing
Healing with Spirit Magic is magical, easeful and brings deeper and exponential transformation. It can be done via distance so we don’t need to be in the same room.
Sacred & Safe Leadership
My approach is underpinned by sacred space holding, deep listening and a process-oriented approach to change and the natural ways life supports and calls you to evolve.
A process-oriented approach is informed by many wisdom traditions such as Jungian psychology, general psychology, indigenous and shamanic wisdom, communication theory and quantum physics. This can involve dreaming and sensing into aspects known and unknown, and exploring through visualisation, movement, feelings, sounds and role-play.
Holistic Counselling
I have a multitude of counselling tools and processes that I can weave into a session to support you including:
Attachment Theory, Neuroscience and Arousal regulation
Polyvagal Theory
The Work of Byron Katie (in place of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
Effective Communication (Advanced Communication Skills: The Authentic Communicator)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Dissolution and Freedom Technique
Creative Visualisation, Art, Working with Soma, Bodies in Space
Working with Trauma and the Body
Psychobiological Approach founded by Dr Stan Takin
Internal Family Systems Therapy
Direct Experience
A collaborative and permission-based partnership
Our work together is collaborative experience and permission-based. You never have to explore or do something you don’t want to. I don’t fix you, but rather work with you to support the transformation of your difficulties and the intelligence in your healing and awakening process to unfold so that you can become more whole and empowered.
This means that unless your body, mind and soul are congruent and ready, we don’t dive into the heart of an issue straight away. I support you to explore your issue from a safe distance, and build your inner resources, capacity and trust first. We work in this beautiful, intelligent, naturally unfolding yet powerful and effective way.
My intention is also to support you to empower yourself and activate your own innate wisdom. I may share knowledge, tips, tools and skills that may support you as well as help you to identify your own resources, skills, techniques or practices. This can be very creative and so empowering.
What you can expect from working with me
When you work with me, you benefit from my unique combination of gifts and qualities
“I feel so safe with you, I feel like I can just be me”
This is the most common feedback I receive from people. I have a magical way of being that helps you to feel safe to be on this planet, to be yourself and to face your pain and fears. I am highly relational and focused on you as a unique individual. The qualities I exude are being welcoming, allowing, accepting, gentle, compassionate, patient and easeful. I also have an inner Amazonian warrior and can be fiercely protective of you and your dreams when needed especially when the inner critic is around.

Through symbolic and intuitive insight and knowing, as well as subtle sensing of feelings and energy, I can track the unseen and unknown to find your hidden edges and the roots of your challenge so that I can facilitate meaningful healing and transformative change.
A gifted space holder and edge rider
I am comfortable hanging out in the unknown and with big feelings and difficult things. I can help you navigate those often difficult and sometimes fearful places on the edge to the unknown where you change, grow and let go of who you used to be to embrace and integrate the more whole you that you are becoming. Naming and working edges is one of my super powers.
Deep listening
I listen to you with my whole being. I listen not just to the words that you say but also to the things you don’t say, and the energies, moods, feelings, characters and world signals that appear in a session.
Deep soul scuba diving
To my friends and colleagues, I am known as Kym of the Deep. I am a deep person by nature and naturally hang out in the realms of soul. I am also a scuba diver and have trained as scuba diver instructor and dive master and incorporate these skills energetically into my work.
The way I work with you supports you to safely and effortlessly descend into the depths of who you are where you can explore and tend to emotional wounds and traumas, discover and reclaim your deep beauty, gifts and power and access your own wisdom to gain your own powerful insights. People often report that it feels like they went scuba diving with me in a session.
Spirit support and healing
I have spent 4 years training in Spirit Magic with Myree Morsi of the Soul Path Institute. I work with teams of angels, guides and spirit beings to facilitate healing. It is magical and easeful and can bring deeper and exponential transformation. I also use my shamanic tracking nature to track your deeper process in the unseen worlds energetically, psychically and ancestrally.
Joy and laughter
While I take healing work very seriously and approach it with reverence and sacredness it can also be very joyful. I often bring cheekiness and playfulness into my sessions and we can laugh a lot. I love laughing. It’s also a potent medicine for the soul.
A balanced blend of practical and spiritual
While I work with spirit and the unseen realms, I am a very grounded, down-to-earth and practical person. I have 20+ years of experience in financial services leadership supporting practical change and growth and I spend a lot of time in nature hiking, bird watching and scuba diving which keeps me very connected to the earth.
How do sessions work
Sessions are conducted online via Skype.
Skype sessions enable us to connect in the comfort and convenience of your own home or venue of your choosing and provide flexibility to fit into your own schedule. You also save time and energy by cutting out travel which can be used for rest, integration and reflection post-session.
Online sessions also make it possible for you to work with me if you live outside of Australia, although I am currently unable to work with you if you live in the USA or its protectorates due to insurance restrictions.
After you have booked your first session, I will send you a short message through Skype so that you can reply to me and we are in each other’s contacts. Then at the date and time of your session booking, I will call you through Skype.
Sessions run for 60 minutes.
Your first session
Your first session has a strong focus on getting to know you, exploring your challenge and what may be possible working together and bringing relief where needed and possible.
You will be asked some questions about your personal history as part of a standard confidential client questionnaire, including your relevant personal and ancestral experiences that have shaped your life, and the background and circumstances to your challenge.
We will clarify what you would like to achieve out of working together, what may be possible, and start to move you towards your goal, generating insight, relief and healing where possible.
Subsequent sessions
In each subsequent session we have together, we begin by checking in on how you are and what you would like to work on in the session. It’s not unusual that you might not know exactly what is that you want to focus on, and that’s absolutely okay and normal.
Sometimes you might know there’s something in you or your life that needs attention but can’t name it. Other times you might not have any idea at all because it stays hidden outside of your conscious awareness.
Healing generally isn’t a linear process (as much as our rational mind would like it to be.) So this means that we don’t necessarily have to pick up from where we finished at your last session. Usually what happens in between sessions is that you integrate the healing that happened in the previous section then the next layer of healing that is required comes forward.
What needs attention or wants to be worked on usually reveals itself through what you say or don’t say and your body’s unconscious signals in the session. I carefully and lovingly track your body’s signals and the information you give me so that together we identify what to focus on and unfold.
