Holistic Counselling with Avril
Gail Richards - “I have also met with Avril for a personal one-on-one wellness consultation. Avril was able to provide me with a way forward to deal with a recent health issue, working in alignment with treatment suggested by my mainstream healthcare provider – a truly holistic approach. I would wholeheartedly - and without hesitation - recommend Avril and any one of the wellness programs that she offers. She is able to offer an authentic approach that combines both western scientific knowledge with the teachings of ancient yogic philosophies and all delivered in her characteristic thoughtful and patient, yet cheeky and fun-loving, style”.
Testimonial
My approach to counselling is holistic, personalised and grounded in the understanding that our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing are deeply interconnected.
Drawing on my training in counselling and psychotherapy, clinical nutrition, yoga and meditation, I support you to explore the experiences, patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to distress, disconnection or a sense of feeling stuck.
My work is informed by a Vedic understanding of the human being—one that recognises that we are more than our thoughts, emotions or circumstances. This broader lens allows us to consider the many dimensions of your wellbeing while remaining grounded in compassionate, person-centred therapeutic practice.
Talking therapy provides the foundation of our work together. Through guided and compassionate self-inquiry, we create space to understand your story, recognise recurring patterns and develop greater clarity and self-awareness.
Where appropriate, I may also draw upon practices from yoga and meditation as therapeutic tools. These may include breathwork or pranayama, meditation, mindfulness, gentle movement, and practical lifestyle or nutritional support. These practices are introduced according to your individual needs and are not a requirement of counselling.
I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My role is not to tell you what to see or who to become, but to gently help illuminate the places that may need attention and support you in discovering your own insight, wisdom and capacity for change.
