Welcome to Ethera Counselling
A place where your experiences are met with care, curiosity, and understanding. Here, you can take the time to explore what’s been weighing on you—at your own pace, in a way that feels safe and supportive.​
Finding the right therapist is important. I offer a free 15-minute, no-obligation consultation where we can talk about what you’re looking for and whether this feels like a good fit for you.
Hello, I'm Nadia
I’m an Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a special interest in supporting people to heal from trauma.
I work with young people and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and other complex challenges. My focus is on creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and able to make sense of your experiences—at your own pace.
I hold a Master of Counselling from Monash University and bring a background in neuroscience research. This means I understand how the brain and body respond to stress, trauma, and change—and I translate this into therapy in a way that feels simple, relevant, and helpful.
My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy. I recognise that healing from trauma is not one-size-fits-all, so I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches. I have specialised training in prolonged exposure therapy and psychodynamic techniques.
​
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want things to feel different, I aim to work alongside you in a way that is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your needs.
