Life shapes us in ways we don't always recognise.
The experiences we've had, the relationships we've been part of, and the ways we've learnt to protect ourselves, cope and get through life all influence how we see ourselves and the world around us.
Sometimes those experiences leave us feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed or stuck in patterns we can't seem to change.
You may wonder why you keep reacting the way you do; why you keep ending up in the same situations, or why, despite understanding yourself logically, something still gets activated and you can't seem to shift it.
Understanding where something comes from is only part of the work. Therapy is a place to process what's still affecting you, change patterns that are no longer helping and develop ways of responding that better reflect how you want to live, relate and move forward.
There isn't one right way to do therapy.
There isn't one approach that works for every person or every problem.
Sometimes we need to understand what's happening and where a pattern has come from. Other times there's an experience or emotional response that needs to be processed in a way that talking alone can't change. Or maybe you've done enough looking back and the focus becomes the now, and what you want to change or create for the future.
My work brings together counselling, coaching and a range of therapeutic techniques, including EFT, NLP, mindfulness, somatic and hypnotic approaches, depending on you, what you're experiencing and what you're working towards.
I also offer EMIT (Eye Movement Integration Therapy) and Clinical Hypnotherapy as dedicated therapeutic services for people wanting to work specifically with either approach.
You don't have to know what kind of therapy you need before you start — we'll figure that out together.
Ways we can work together
Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. We'll work together to understand what's
happening for you and decide what approach might be most helpful.
Individual Therapy
A flexible, integrative approach shaped around you. Depending on what you're experiencing and what we're working towards, our sessions may draw from Counselling, Coaching, EFT, NLP, mindfulness, somatic and hypnotic techniques.
Eye Movement Integration Therapy
Uses guided eye movements to help process past experiences and emotional responses that may still be affecting how you feel or respond today.
Relationship Therapy
Understand the patterns that keep you and your partner stuck, work through disconnection and difficulties, and build healthier ways of communicating, responding and connecting with each other.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Uses hypnosis to work with thoughts, beliefs, emotional responses and patterns that can be difficult to shift through conscious thinking alone.

Hi, I'm Skye Welbourne.
I'm a Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, EMIT Practitioner and Life Coach based in the Hunter Valley in NSW.
One of the things I love most about this work is that no two people are ever the same. Every person brings a different story, different strengths and different hopes for the future.
That's why I work flexibly, adapting the therapy to the person in front of me rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
My approach is warm, collaborative and down-to-earth. We'll make space to understand what's happening, work through what needs attention and focus on the changes that matter to you.
My role isn't to tell you who you should become. It's to support you in understanding yourself and creating a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
