space to pause, explore and reconnect
Embodied Harmony offers wellbeing workshops and programs designed to help you slow down, better understand yourself and make more space for what matters.
These experiences bring together practical wellbeing education, mindfulness, body awareness, reflection and guided activities.
Rather than simply learning about wellbeing, you will have opportunities to explore it in a more personal and practical way.
You do not need any previous experience with mindfulness, meditation or body-based practices.
You simply need to arrive as you are.
who are embodied harmony workshops for?
These workshops may suit you if life feels full, but you have started wondering where you fit within it.
Perhaps you spend a lot of time caring for others, meeting responsibilities or thinking about what needs to happen next.
As a result, your own needs can become harder to hear.
You may also recognise that:
- your mind rarely seems to switch off
- slowing down feels difficult
- you often put other people first
- you second-guess your needs or decisions
- you want stronger boundaries without the guilt
- you feel disconnected from yourself
- you are navigating a period of change
- you want more meaning, presence or enjoyment in everyday life.
You do not need to be struggling with all of these things.
Sometimes, curiosity is enough reason to create some space for yourself.
what can we explore?
Each Embodied Harmony workshop has its own focus. However, common themes may include:
Mindfulness & Present-Moment Awareness
Explore practical ways of noticing where your attention goes and how to bring yourself back to the present.
Mindfulness does not need to mean sitting still with an empty mind. Instead, it can become a flexible way of noticing your experience with greater curiosity.
Body Awareness & Interoception
Learn to notice physical sensations and internal cues that may help you better understand your needs.
For example, you may begin to notice signs of tiredness, tension, activation, comfort or the need for space.
Self-Connection & Self-Trust
Create space to explore what you need, what matters to you and what may have become lost within the demands of everyday life.
Greater self-awareness can also support more intentional decision-making.
Boundaries & Personal Needs
Explore the relationship between your needs, values and boundaries.
In particular, we may consider what happens when you want to say no, ask for something or make more room for yourself.
Values & Meaningful Living
Reconnect with the things that give your life meaning and direction.
Values can offer a useful compass when life changes or when you feel uncertain about what comes next.
Everyday Stress & Overwhelm
Develop a better understanding of how stress can show up in thoughts, emotions and the body.
From there, you can explore practical ways of creating space and responding more intentionally.
Life Transitions
Periods of change can leave us questioning who we are, what matters and what we want next.
Workshops may offer space to reflect on identity, priorities and the parts of yourself you would like to carry forward.

Not knowing what to expect when working with a counsellor or mentor can be daunting and anxiety provoking in itself. We have provided a typical counselling timeline so you can gain an insight into the therapeutic process. Your journey towards mental wellbeing and a life lived with full potential and possibilities is something to be excited about!
WHAT TO EXPECT
step 01
The complimentary 15-minute consultation is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation held via phone or secure video call. It’s a chance for you to share a little about what’s been going on, ask any questions you might have, and get a feel for how I work.
We’ll walk you through what counselling looks like, how sessions are structured, and how we can support you based on your unique needs. This time is all about helping you feel comfortable, informed, and empowered to decide whether Rebecca is the right fit for your therapeutic journey.
STEP 02
By the time we meet for your first session, you’ll have already completed a brief online intake form which helps us understand a bit about your background and what’s bringing you to therapy. From there, we begin gently.
Our first session is all about building our therapeutic relationship, creating a sense of emotional safety, and exploring what you’d like to get out of this journey. You don’t need to prepare anything or have it all figured out. This is your space to be supported—at your pace.
We’ll guide you through the process, answer any questions, and check in regularly to ensure everything feels comfortable for you. Together, we’ll start to clarify your goals and begin laying the foundation for meaningful, lasting change.
STEP 03
Each therapeutic session is a collaborative and personalised experience designed to support your goals and growth. At the start of every session, we check in using a feedback-informed approach—giving you space to share what’s working, what’s not, and how you’re feeling about the process. Your voice matters here. This ensures therapy stays aligned, effective, and centred around you.
We’ll work together to create a tailored plan that honours your needs, preferences, and the pace that feels right. While many clients begin to experience meaningful change within 10–12 sessions, the journey is unique for everyone and we’ll adapt along the way.
Between sessions, you’ll have access to exclusive tools and resources to support integration, insight, and progress especially during those moments that feel challenging or uncertain.
Embodied Harmony’s principal counsellor, Rebecca, is a registered counsellor in Australia with a Masters of Counselling and Honours Degree in Psychological Sciences. While both counselling and psychology aim to improve mental well-being, they have distinct focuses and methods. Here’s how they differ:
Counselling
Counsellors are trained to provide therapeutic support for a wide range of emotional, relational, and life-based challenges—such as anxiety, grief, stress, relationship issues, low self-esteem, or major life transitions. Counselling is typically collaborative, present-focused, and deeply attuned to your lived experience. It’s about creating a safe, supportive space to explore what’s going on and move toward greater clarity and wellbeing.
The emphasis in counselling is on healing through connection, empathy, and active listening, tailored to your unique needs and pace.
Psychology
Psychologists, on the other hand, have a background in psychological assessment and diagnosis, and often work with more complex or clinically diagnosed mental health conditions. They may be involved in report writing, testing, or working within clinical teams.
Psychologists typically use a research-based, diagnostic framework to understand and treat mental health issues, often in collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
Which One is Right for You?
At Embodied Harmony, counselling is offered through a trauma-informed, evidence-based, and holistic lens—focused on supporting you through change, emotional healing, and personal growth. If at any point we feel that additional or alternative support is needed (including referral to a psychologist or GP), we’ll discuss that together to ensure the best care for you.
Rebecca brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to support your healing journey. With extensive training in psychological theories and therapeutic interventions, she draws on evidence-based practices to help you navigate emotional challenges, improve relationships, and achieve personal growth.
Still not sure which type of support is right for you? Book a free 15-minute consultation—we’ll talk it through together and make sure you’re getting the support that best fits your needs.
Counselling is a powerful support for a wide range of emotional, psychological, and relational concerns. You don’t need to be in crisis or have a formal diagnosis to benefit. Counselling is for anyone who wants to feel more emotionally steady, mentally clear, and connected to themselves.
At Embodied Harmony, we work with individuals navigating challenges such as:
- Anxiety and stress that impacts daily life
- Depression or low mood, including feelings of emptiness, hopelessness, or emotional numbness
- Grief and loss, including anticipatory grief or complicated grief
- Burnout and emotional exhaustion from work, caregiving, or life pressures
- Low self-worth or self-esteem that limits your confidence and self-expression
- Life transitions like separation, career changes, identity shifts, or motherhood
- Relationship challenges – including communication issues or post-separation and divorce support
- Trauma – including developmental or relational trauma, using a trauma-informed lens
- Emotional regulation difficulties, like overwhelm, irritability, or shutdown
- Exploring identity, purpose, or personal values
Each session is tailored to support your unique needs and experiences, using a blend of evidence-based therapies and a mind-body-soul approach. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply ready to understand yourself more deeply—counselling provides a compassionate, structured space for meaningful change.
No, you don’t need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) or GP referral to access counselling services with Embodied Harmony.
Our services are available privately, which means:
- You can book directly—no paperwork, no waiting, no diagnosis required
- Your sessions are completely confidential and not recorded on medical files
- You have the freedom to choose a counsellor who aligns with your needs and values
While some government-subsidised psychology services require a Mental Health Care Plan for Medicare rebates, counselling offers a more flexible, personalised alternative that many people find empowering and accessible—especially when exploring emotional wellbeing, self-worth, identity, or life transitions.
We have carefully structured our fees so that clients are not paying any more for mental health and wellbeing services than they would with a Medicare rebate. The Australian Psychological Society recommends psychologists charge $311 per 46-60 minute session. Our standard counselling fee is $90 per 50 minute session or $197 per 90 minute Uplift & Transform session, making our fees comparable to the typical gap fee you would pay if you were seeing a psychologist under a MHCP.

Investing in your mental and emotional wellbeing is a powerful step toward lasting transformation. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
At Embodied Harmony, we are committed to offering compassionate, consistent, and accessible mental health care and that includes honouring the time and space reserved just for you.
We understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes plans need to change. If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, we kindly ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice. This helps us offer your spot to another client who may be waiting for support at short notice.
To cancel or reschedule, simply phone or text 📱 +61 422 186 787 or email 📧 rebecca@embodiedharmony.com.au
Here’s how the policy works:
- Cancellations or reschedules with 24+ hours’ notice: No fee

Respecting this policy allows us to continue offering accessible, high-quality support to all clients. Thank you for your understanding.
Your sessions are strictly confidential and will not be released outside of Embodied Harmony without your permission. The only time a counsellor may release information is if they believe you are at risk of harm, if you have provided consent to share information with a third party, or if subpoenaed by a court of law.
At Embodied Harmony, we adhere to the highest ethical standards and practice guidelines as outlined in the Australian Counselling Association’s Code of Ethics. This commitment ensures that all clients receive the best possible care in a professional and respectful environment. The key principles include:
- Competence: We continually update knowledge and skills in accordance with evidence-based practice to provide the most effective and up-to-date therapy.
- Respect: Treat all clients with dignity and respect, valuing their backgrounds and perspectives.
- Integrity: Are honest and transparent in all professional dealings, including working within my scope of knowledge, ensuring trust and reliability in our therapeutic relationship.
