Counselling —
embodied healing
Reconnect mind, body and self on your journey to recovery through talk therapy, breath work and embodiment.
Edwina’s approach to counselling aims to foster a safe, warm and non-judgemental space for people to explore what might be troubling them, what might help them to know themselves and where they might find meaning and connection in their lives.
With a background in the evidence-based practices of Trauma Sensitive Yoga and mindfulness, and recognition of how trauma is stored in the body, Edwina can incorporate movement and breath work into counselling sessions. This approach, known as embodied healing, emphasises healing of the whole self through the connection of mind and body.
Your recovery, your choice
Edwina has worked in the community sector and private practice for 15 years as a community and social worker with people from all walks of life. She has a trauma-informed, collaborative and strengths-based approach, where the participant determines and remains in control of the process at all times.
With a strong commitment to social justice, Edwina can support individuals in understanding the impacts of cultural and societal structures on their experience of trauma, which can be helpful in moving towards recovery.
People may seek counselling for a range of concerns such as:
- depression and anxiety
- post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- complex interpersonal trauma
- life direction and purpose
- stress
- grief and loss
Guided by your individual preferences and hopes for recovery, Edwina can help you decide which treatment direction may be beneficial.
Testimonials
“Incredibly useful…”
I found the trauma yoga practice incredibly useful. Primarily it was a time each week that I was able to nurture myself and practise being gentle with my body. It was the gentleness that I most liked about these yoga sessions. I really enjoyed the way you, Edwina, at all times offered choices about how we could move, affirming the notion that we know what’s best for our body.

“Safe and supportive…”
Eddie’s authentic, kind and generous spirit creates a space for yoga that is safe, supportive and nurturing. I love Eddie’s yoga classes and I always leave feeling restored, with a more open heart and a renewed excitement for yoga practice, both on and off the mat. Eddie has something very special to offer… I can’t recommend her highly enough!

“Nurturing and calming…”
As a teacher, I found you equally as gentle and welcoming. Your presence was both nurturing and calming which assured me that there was a great level of safety from you and the program, which was important for me in attending.
