Emotional Wellbeing & Anxiety Support
Individual Counselling (For anxiety, emotional overwhelm and personal growth.)
For individuals, teens and children experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm or life transitions.
This work focuses on:
- calming the nervous system
- building emotional resilience
- healing limiting beliefs and self-doubt
- restoring inner confidence and peace
Many people come to the clinic because they are experiencing persistent anxiety, stress or emotional overwhelm.
Modern life places enormous demands on our nervous systems, and when stress becomes chronic it can affect how we think, feel and relate to others.
Counselling sessions focus on helping clients understand and regulate their emotional responses while building practical tools for resilience and calm.
This work may support you if you are experiencing:
- anxiety or chronic stress
- emotional overwhelm or burnout
- overthinking or difficulty switching off
- low self-worth or self-doubt
- major life transitions
Using counselling and EFT tapping techniques, we help restore a sense of balance so that life begins to feel manageable and meaningful again.
Children’s Counselling
We work with children aged seven and above, with the understanding that parents and caregivers play an important role in supporting their child’s emotional development.
Children today are growing up in a rapidly changing world that includes social pressures, digital overload and increasing expectations. These challenges can sometimes show up as anxiety, behavioural difficulties or emotional distress.
Our work helps children develop emotional awareness, resilience and confidence while supporting parents to better understand their child’s needs.
Areas we commonly support include:
- anxiety and sadness
- friendship and social challenges
- ADHD and learning differences
- trauma and emotional stress
- sleep and eating difficulties
- self-esteem and confidence
- school-related challenges
Every child has a natural capacity for resilience and growth — sometimes they simply need support to reconnect with it.
Teen Counselling
Adolescence can be a time of enormous emotional change and pressure. Teenagers today face complex challenges including academic expectations, social dynamics and the constant influence of the digital world.
Counselling offers teenagers a supportive space where they can explore their experiences, express their emotions and develop practical tools for managing life’s challenges.
Sessions may support teens with:
- anxiety and stress
- school and study pressure
- self-image, body confidence and identity
- friendships and relationships
- bullying and social media pressures
- emotional regulation
By understanding how their emotions and nervous system responses work, teenagers develop stronger resilience and confidence as they move into adulthood.
Relationship Healing & From Loop to Love™
You Know Something Isn’t Working in Your Relationships…
Maybe you keep experiencing:
- emotionally unavailable partners
- relationships that feel intense but unstable
- constantly over-giving or over-functioning
- feeling unseen or not chosen
- walking on eggshells
- repeating the same painful patterns
And part of you wonders:
Why does this keep happening?
Many people find themselves repeating painful relationship patterns — over-giving, feeling unseen, attracting emotionally unavailable partners or struggling with conflict and communication.
“You’re intelligent, self-aware, and successful in many areas of life… yet when it comes to relationships, you sometimes feel confused, depleted, or like you’ve lost yourself. Part of you knows this relationship isn’t healthy… yet something inside you keeps hoping it will finally change.”
The Problem Isn’t Your Partner…
It’s the Pattern
Your conscious and unconscious patterns shape:
- who you are attracted to
- how safe intimacy feels
- how you communicate in conflict
- what behaviors you tolerate
Until these patterns are brought into awareness and healed, they repeat.
Catherine created the From Loop to Love™ framework after working with thousands of clients who felt stuck in painful relationship cycles. Through her From Loop to Love™ framework, clients learn to understand and transform the unconscious patterns shaping their relationships.
This process helps individuals and couples:
- recognize repeating relationship loops
- understand your unconscious attachment patterns
- regulate their nervous system and emotional responses
- rebuild self-worth, self-trust and healthy boundaries
- heal emotional wounds from the past
- develop conscious relationship skills
- experience more secure, supportive and fulfilling love connections
The moment you understand the pattern, you can finally begin to change it — and experience a completely different kind of love.
EFT & Nervous System Work
A powerful technique for calming the stress response and releasing emotional blocks.
EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a powerful, evidence-based approach that Catherine integrates deeply into her work. Studies from respected institutions, such as Harvard and Bond University, show that tapping on specific meridian points calms the amygdala—the brain’s alarm centre—reducing cortisol and stress responses. When clients face anxiety, self-sabotaging habits, or repeating relational patterns, EFT becomes an active tool for breaking these cycles. By combining tapping with talk therapy, we help rewire the nervous system, allowing clients to release emotional blocks and shift limiting beliefs. Whether it’s a stressed executive or a couple stuck in reactive patterns, Catherine uses EFT to help them regulate their emotional states, break longstanding cycles, and experience healthier, conscious responses. This technique empowers clients, giving them practical tools to continue their healing outside of sessions, making transformation both rapid and lasting.
WHERE I WORK
The Inner Shine Clinic is based in Bondi Junction, Sydney, Australia.
Many clients enjoy the option of meeting in person at the Bondi Junction consulting rooms, which are conveniently located close to public transport and nearby parking at Westfield Bondi Junction and Eastgate Shopping Centre.
However, much of my work is now conducted online, allowing me to support clients across Australia and internationally where time zones allow.
Sessions are available:
- in person in Bondi Junction
- via secure online video sessions
- by phone when required
Working online means clients can access support from the comfort of their own home, making it easier to fit counselling into busy lives while still receiving the same level of care and connection. Using a holistic mind–body approach that integrates counselling and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping), I work with individuals and couples both locally and around the world to support emotional wellbeing, anxiety relief and healthier relationships.
You don’t have to keep living this way.
