NeuroAffective Touch®
NeuroAffective Touch® is a gentle, somatic therapy that emphasizes the integration of touch and emotional awareness to support healing and regulation of the nervous system. This approach is particularly effective in addressing complex developmental trauma, as it helps you to access preverbal states where early emotional experiences and stresses are often stored. By combining consensual and mindful touch with insights from neurobiology, NeuroAffective Touch® fosters safety and trust, allowing you to reconnect with your body, process unresolved feelings and enhance self-regulation. This method nurtures emotional resilience and cultivates a deeper mind-body connection, facilitating profound healing and well-being.

Expressive Therapies
Expressive Therapies offer a creative and holistic approach to healing by using artistic and nonverbal forms of expression to process emotions, trauma and personal challenges. These therapies include techniques such as art therapy, music therapy, dance/movement therapy and drama therapy, allowing you to express yourself in ways that words alone cannot capture.
Through creative expression, you can explore your inner world, gain insights into your feelings and release emotional blockages in a safe, supportive environment. Expressive therapies are particularly effective if you find it difficult to articulate your emotions or if you have experienced trauma that affects your ability to communicate verbally. By engaging with the therapeutic process in a creative way, you can develop greater self-awareness, build emotional resilience and promote healing on both a psychological and physical level.
Whether you are seeking to process past trauma, improve emotional well-being or simply express your thoughts and feelings more fully, expressive therapies provide a powerful, transformative path to healing and self-discovery.

Eco-Psychotherapy
Eco-Psychotherapy is a nature-based therapeutic approach that connects you with the healing power of the natural world. It recognizes the profound impact nature has on our mental, emotional and spiritual well-being, and uses outdoor settings as a space for healing, reflection and self-discovery. In Eco-Psychotherapy, you engage in guided processes that encourage deeper awareness of your environment and yourself, helping you reconnect with both the Earth and your inner wisdom. This approach is especially beneficial for those seeking a holistic healing experience, as it fosters mindfulness, emotional regulation and a sense of belonging in the natural world.
Walk & Talk Therapy offers a unique alternative to traditional therapy by conducting sessions while walking in nature through Monique's privately owned acre of rainforest. The act of walking allows for a more relaxed, free-flowing conversation, helping to reduce anxiety and promote emotional clarity. This dynamic form of therapy combines the benefits of physical movement with the reflective space of talk therapy, encouraging clients to process emotions, find new perspectives and improve overall well-being. The natural environment serves as a backdrop for healing, offering both physical and emotional grounding during each session. Whether you’re looking for relief from stress, anxiety or emotional challenges, Walk & Talk Therapy provides a refreshing, grounded approach to personal growth and healing.

Family & Systemic Constellations
Family and Systemic Constellations are transformative therapeutic approaches that help uncover and resolve hidden dynamics within families and systems, allowing you to heal and restore balance.
Family Constellations focus specifically on uncovering unresolved issues and patterns within the family system. Using a constellation process, family members (or representatives) are placed in a spatial arrangement to reveal emotional entanglements, generational trauma or systemic blockages that may be influencing current relationships. This approach allows individuals to gain a deeper understanding of their family dynamics, leading to healing and a sense of reconnection.
Systemic Constellations, on the other hand, expand beyond the family to include any group or system that a person may be connected to, such as work environments, communities or societal structures. By exploring the roles, relationships and energies within a larger system, systemic constellations reveal how these external forces influence personal behaviour, challenges and well-being.
Both methods provide powerful insights into how personal struggles are often tied to broader systemic patterns, helping you break free from limiting behaviours and restore harmony within your life and relationships.

We focus on healing the mother-infant separation wound, helping adult and child adoptees/fosterees process the profound loss they experienced early in life. Our counselling addresses the impact of this trauma on attachment, identity and emotional well-being, providing a safe space to explore and make sense of these complex feelings. For original parents, we offer trauma healing and reunion guidance. For adoptive parents and foster carers, we offer guidance to better understand and navigate the challenges of adoption, fostering healthier relationships and emotional healing.

Through the unique lens of an adult adoptee, our training equips professionals with specialized insights to support adoptees and their families more effectively.

Sandplay therapy offers a creative, hands-on approach where children can process complex emotions and experiences through symbolic play in a sandtray, using miniature figures to represent their inner world.

Our therapy methods provide a compassionate, holistic space for children to heal, grow and develop healthy emotional connections.

Get Ready to Transform.
The therapeutic modalities I offer are holistic, evidence-based and designed to resolve trauma and promote deep, lasting transformation for psychological, emotional and physical health related challenges. Grounded in the work of trauma research pioneers like Dr Peter Levine, Dr Bessel van der Kolk, Dr Stephen Porges, Dr Aline LaPierre, Dr Cathy Malchiodi, Bert Hellinger and the famous Jungian Psychoanalyst Dora Kalff, they combine the latest neuroscience with ancient healing traditions. These approaches focus on the body’s innate intelligence to release stress and restore balance, addressing the root cause of dysregulation that lead to symptoms such as anxiety, depression and chronic pain. Unlike traditional top-down methods that focus on the thinking mind (talk therapy), symbolic, creative and somatic-based therapies utilize a bottom-up approach, recognizing that 80% of neurological signals originate in the body and travel up to the brain, shaping our experiences. By engaging with these bodily signals, somatic therapies help you safely unwind and release stuck energies, nurturing a deeper connection with your authentic Self and achieving profound healing.
At no point during your sessions will anything be done to you. Instead, you will be invited to actively engage with the processes offered, empowering you to trust your 'yes' and express your 'no'. Your choices will be fully welcomed and respected, ensuring that all sessions feel safe and are personalized to align with your individual goals for growth and healing. For optimal trauma healing support, six sessions are recommended as a minimum.

"Dearest Monique,
I’ve been thinking of you sitting with me all those times of sharing my grief and felt so deeply grateful for who you have been for me, and for SO MANY. Your work is so incredibly important. Recently I felt you near me with your beautiful presence and I visualised you picking up all the broken pieces of a blue clay bowl that represented me and my shattered bits. You were on the floor with me picking up each piece, gently and respectfully saying that you were here to gather the pieces and put them back into my hands to put together again. It was a powerful vision, and I wanted to share it with you. That’s the impact you have. Your therapeutic presence remains embodied in me years after our work together. You are the benevolent presence that all of us wounded birds need. I hope you can feel all my love and gratitude right now. Thankyou."
