You know something needs to change.
You're just not sure how to get there.
Counselling that goes beyond your thoughts, working with what the mind can't figure out on its own.
Sessions available in English and Spanish, so you can work in the language that feels most like home.
No commitment. Just a conversation.
You might be able to explain exactly why you do what you do.
You might know where it comes from. You've done the reflection. Maybe you’ve done the therapy.
And yet. The same argument. The same tightening in your chest the moment a particular name flashes up on your screen, or before a conversation you keep putting off, and the feeling is still there.
Understanding isn't the problem. Something else is keeping it in place.
This is where the body comes in
Sometimes insight alone often isn't enough. Your brain can understand something but you’re still stuck and nothing changes.
Most approaches to counselling work at the level of thinking.
We look at what's happening underneath, in your nervous system, your attachment patterns, the way your body has learned to protect you.
When we work at both levels, things start to move.
You might be in the right place if…
You've lost motivation for things that used to matter
Your relationships keeps hitting the same wall
You feel less like yourself and can't explain when that changed
Something is off and you can't name it, but you feel it constantly
You're snappier with people and you can't explain why
People arrive here from different places, career pressure, relationship cycles, burnout, identity, life transitions. What tends to be common is the gap between understanding the problem and being able to shift it.
That's exactly where this kind of work helps.
You don't need to be in crisis.
You just need to be tired of staying the same.
How we work
Sessions are 50 minutes, via Telehealth.
No waiting room. No commute. Private and accessible from wherever you are .
I use a mix of approaches that focus on emotions, the connection between your mind and body, and how we relate to others.
What we do depends on what you need and how you process things.
There’s no set program or formula. No homework unless it truly helps. We’ll find what works together.
Unlike short-term or EAP services, there's no session cap and no fixed programme . We work at the pace and depth that your situation needs.
A few common questions
-
Yes. What you share stays between us, within standard professional and legal boundaries.
-
There’s no fixed timeline.
Some people come for a short period to work through something specific. Others stay longer as deeper patterns emerge. We take it one step at a time.
-
You don’t need to be in crisis. If something feels heavy, stuck, or harder than it should be, that’s reason enough to talk to someone. Most people reach out when staying the same starts to feel harder than getting support.

You can book a free intro call to see if working together feels right, with no pressure to continue.
I'm Poncho. I work from Melbourne, in English and Spanish.
You may also meet my cat, Kane, who occasionally insists on being part of the session.
