About me
Hi. I'm Aisha.
I offer a warm, compassionate and down to earth space for therapeutic growth.
My current practice is grounded in 26 years of professional experience in the community sector, in various settings, across Warrane/Sydney and Naarm/Melbourne.
I am an integrative somatic psychotherapist, relationship counsellor, and mental health social worker.
I have facilitated education and group programs for victim-survivors, communities, and professionals, in Melbourne, Sydney, Hobart and remote areas such as East Arnhem Land and Kalgoorlie.
Based in Naarm/ Melbourne, as a single mum of two incredible teens, I enjoy dance, yoga, meditation, camping, learning to play the drums and surfing.
At the heart of my work is an unwavering belief in the innate human capacity for healing and growth, and my passionate commitment to social justice.
Holding hope for the people I walk alongside is grounded in experience and practice.
Life is relating. To self, to others, to culture, to our environment.
In our sessions together you will find your path to safety, trust, peace and pleasure in your relationships.
Ultimately, I want you to enjoy your life.
My Approach
Life is relating.
Relating to yourself and to others is a challenging journey, within the context of our culture and in relation to our natural world. You were never mean't to face this challenge alone. As a therapist and educator, this is why I am here.
How you relate to your therapist is crucial for your healing and growth. So how do I approach this?
