OUR SERVICE
Purpose-Led Online Counselling & Life Coaching in Australia for Career Confusion, Burnout & Life Transitions
Whether you’re a professional feeling hopelessly stuck in your career or someone carrying stress, anxiety or big life questions, Kintsugi Counselling & Coaching offers online life coaching and counselling in Perth and across Australia, designed to meet you where you are. My approach is aimed at supporting early–mid career professionals who are wrestling with work stress, burnout and disillusionment, but it also extends to the underlying emotional and life transitions that manifest as those struggles.
For professionals who feel trapped by the grind, burnt out or unsure of what comes next, this service focuses on career counselling, career transition support and questions of purpose and work. Together we'll address issues stemming from factors such as work stress, the “golden handcuffs” syndrome, fears, identity, values and more. We'll also explore realistic and practical options that work for you.
Some people arrive with career questions; others come because everything feels heavy. This service offers a personalized and holistic blend of online life coaching and counselling for life transitions and its associated challenges, such as, existential questions, relationships, identity, direction and more.
It's a space where the emotions you are experiencing aren't seen as a part of the problem, but a part of the process. The process towards living a more peaceful, centred and aligned life.
The approach I use applies the philosophy of Kintsugi whilst aiming to develop the ethos of antifragility.
Antifragility is a property where a system is not only able to withstand stressors, but strengthens and grows as a result of them.
For this, the foundation of my practice is;
contextually based integrated therapy with strong consideration of development theory.
contextually based - consideration and understanding of you in your contextual background such as social, economic, political, environmental etc… backgrounds (Social Cognitive Theory, Sociocultural Theory & Ecological System Theory).
integrated therapy - Person-Centred approach integrated primarily with Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Meaning Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. Other modalities could be used if needed.
development theory - consideration of development stages and needs hierarchies such as Erikson’s & Maslow’s respectively.
In essence my approach is based on collaboratively developing radical self-awareness, radical self-acceptance and a profound understanding of the relationship between you and your context, such that what used to be seen as difficulties, are now accepted as opportunities for evolution.
i.e. life no longer happens to you, but happens for you
