About Me

Australian Counselling Association Level 2 Member badge

Welcome

I’m Jelica, a counsellor and holistic practitioner who believes healing begins with gentleness, safety, and the freedom to move at your own pace. My work is guided by trauma-informed principles of compassion, choice, and respect for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

My Approach

I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting. That’s why I create a space where you can pause, breathe, and feel truly heard. Together, we explore not only the challenges you’re facing but also the strengths and wisdom you already carry.

My approach is:

  • Trauma‑informed: Safety, trust, and empowerment are at the heart of every session.

  • Holistic: I honour the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

  • Somatic‑aware: Healing often lives in the body as much as in words, so I integrate practices that support nervous system regulation and embodied awareness.

  • Gentle and collaborative: You set the pace, and I walk alongside you.

My Background

I bring both lived compassion and academic depth to my practice. My qualifications include:

  • Master’s in Counselling

  • Honours in Psychology

  • PhD in Public Health

This blend of knowledge and experience allows me to support clients with a wide range of needs—from everyday stress and anxiety to deeper trauma recovery.

Who I Work With

I support adults and adolescents seeking a safe, nurturing space to explore:

  • Anxiety and stress

  • Trauma recovery

  • Grief and loss

  • Health challenges

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Reconnection with self

While my practice is open to all, many of my clients are women navigating life transitions, seeking balance, and longing to feel more at home in themselves.

My Intention

At its heart, my work is about creating a space where you can:

  • Feel safe and supported

  • Reconnect with your body’s wisdom

  • Find calm and balance in daily life

  • Move toward wholeness and authenticity

If you feel drawn to explore this journey together, I invite you to reach out when the time feels right.
