Services
Trauma Counselling
Specialist trauma counselling addresses PTSD, complex developmental trauma, and acute stress using evidence-based modalities like EMDR, somatic therapy, and polyvagal-informed techniques. Our approach helps clients process traumatic memories safely while developing nervous system regulation skills. Tailored for adults and couples, this service focuses on rebuilding emotional resilience and restoring daily functioning through structured therapeutic frameworks.
Neurodivergence Therapy
Specialised support for neurodivergent individuals covers executive functioning, emotional regulation, and sensory processing challenges. Combining CBT, DBT, and sensory integration techniques, we address ADHD, autism-related stress, and neurodivergent burnout. Sessions focus on practical skill development for daily living, relationship management, and workplace adaptation while promoting self-acceptance and neurodiversity-affirming practices.
Online Counselling
Secure online therapy sessions provide accessible mental health support across Australia using HIPAA-compliant platforms. This service maintains therapeutic continuity through video consultations, phone sessions, and digital resource sharing. Clients receive identical evidence-based interventions as in-person sessions, with added flexibility for those in remote areas or with mobility constraints.
Relationship Counselling
Guided relationship therapy improves communication patterns, conflict resolution, and emotional intimacy for couples and family units. Using Gottman methods and attachment theory frameworks, sessions address trust issues, boundary setting, and conflict de-escalation techniques. The process focuses on creating mutual understanding while respecting individual needs within relational dynamics.
Safe and Sound Protocol
The Safe and Sound Protocol uses filtered music to regulate the autonomic nervous system, addressing anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and trauma responses. This five-week program improves emotional regulation, social engagement, and physiological resilience through daily listening sessions combined with therapist-guided integration. Clinically effective for stress-related disorders and nervous system dysregulation.

I have worked with a variety of practitioners that use different modalities over the course of my life, and for the first time I feel like I am beginning to make progress in healing wounds (big or small) that have impacted the way I behave in a variety of capacities. When I first reached out to Natalee, I came from an emerging Social Work orientation where I was trying to find someone I could work with that I could relate to, but most critically could teach me an entirely new framework of how to unpack my emotional responses. From my first point of contact with Natalee where we consulted to determine

Life changing experience. I completed the safe N sound protocol 3 weeks ago now, I can honestly say I am a different person I would drink a bottle of wine every night by track 3 I decided to stop, no side affects, no withdraws, my relationships have improved. I laugh more, feeling so relaxed, I can even mingle with strangers and not aquard or out of place, I can actually hold a conversation with someone.

I couldn't recommend Natalee @ Holistic Wellness Australia enough. We have been working together for a little over 2 months now and from the first session I was completely at ease, heard and supported. Although it may seem like a massive step, to turn and face the shadows within, the guidance and safe space Natalee holds, each and every session, encourages the self confidence and commitment to make peace with that with is warring or hurting within. I am grateful for all Natalee has done and continues to do. I am forever better for it. Thank you Natalee.
