Release what weighs you down.
Reconnect with your authentic Self

Counselling & Psychotherapy 

 East Coast Tasmania  ·   Online across Australia 

At Wildwood Counselling & Psychotherapy, I take a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and non-pathologising approach to doing therapy. 


My way of working is highly relational, drawing on somatic awareness and parts-work, while prioritising a genuine connection that honours the whole of who you are. 

Wildwood is a place to.... 
 

  • feel genuinely seen and met 
     

  • explore your inner world, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself
     

  • discover insights to help you navigate life's complexities with more clarity 
     

  • release stuck emotions, shift unhelpful beliefs, and address lifelong patterns that are no longer serving you
     

  • build self-trust, self-compassion, and a strong sense of self-leadership
     

  • enhance your well-being and move toward a life that feels more authentically yours

Hi! 


I'm Hollie (she/her) - a registered counsellor, trainer, and former educator with over 12 years of experience in mental health and community support. I specialise in supporting neurodivergent individuals, couples, and relationships of all kinds. 

I believe that good therapy is collaborative and human-to-human. I don't do 'fixing' - I offer a space for reflection, growth, and building self-trust that leads to lasting change. 

What you get from me is compassion, curiosity, and zero judgement. Come as you are. You don't need to mask, edit, or explain the way your brain works. I work with people who have often felt misunderstood by traditional systems and who are seeking a therapeutic relationship built on authenticity, safety, and respect.

How I Work

More than any single therapeutic modality or technique, it's the relationship itself that heals. Feeling safe, seen, and truly understood is one of the most powerful catalysts for change there is - so my work begins with connection, in a warm, steady relationship where every aspect of you is invited in.
 

From there, I primarily draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), a gentle, evidence-based approach grounded in a simple but radical idea - that all of us are made up of different aspects (the critic, the perfectionist, the part that shuts down), understanding that even the parts that sometimes make trouble for us are trying to protect us in some way. As we get to know these aspects of ourselves and meet them with curiosity and compassion instead of judgement, the burdens they've carried can begin to ease, and our embodied Self can step forward, creating space and a more peaceful inner system. We become more connected to our higher selves. 

​

This framework sits within a broader, more integrative way of working  - one grounded in the understanding that we are not living in our bodies; we are our bodies. It is where the physical, and the metaphysical, exist as one. And just as the body instinctively knows how to heal a physical wound, we carry that same innate wisdom toward inner healing.  Given the right conditions of safety and connection, the spirit, the soul, the heart, the mind.....all parts of us can begin to transform. 

Every step of the way, my hope is to create space for your unique experience to unfold and your perspectives to expand. It's a way of working that honours the stories you carry and create, and supports you to live in a way that feels intentional, values-aligned, and with greater inner harmony.
