Julie Matters – trauma‑informed counsellor in Bunbury

Holistic Counselling

I offer trauma‑informed, holistic counselling that honours the whole person, your emotional, mental, energetic and lived experience. My approach is gentle and grounded in presence, allowing you to explore at your own pace.

These sessions are held in a safe nurturing environment at Zen Within Wellness Centre, Bunbury, WA where you can feel heard, understood and supported.

All counselling sessions are 1 hour offered in person.

What Counselling Can Support

Counselling with Julie is gentle, trauma-informed and centred around your emotional wellbeing. It can support you with:

  • stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm

  • feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected

  • navigating life changes or transitions

  • understanding your sensitivity or empathic nature

  • building emotional resilience and grounding

  • processing experiences in a safe, supportive space

 

This style of counselling is especially supportive for empaths, sensitive people, and anyone who feels deeply or absorbs the emotions of others.

What to Expect in a Counselling Session

Counselling sessions unfold at your pace. Each session begins with a calm check‑in, giving you space to share what’s present for you without pressure or judgement. From there, Julie offers grounded emotional support, gentle guidance, and practical tools to help you feel clearer, steadier, and more connected to yourself.

You’ll be held in a warm, heart‑centred space where you can explore your inner world safely and feel supported to move toward greater ease and understanding.

Counselling at Soulful Heart Matters is ideal for you if you:

  • feel overwhelmed, drained, or emotionally heavy

  • are navigating stress, anxiety, or uncertainty

  • want a gentle, grounded approach 

  • want to understand your emotions more deeply

  • need a safe space to talk, process, and breathe

"I believe healing happens when we feel safe, seen and deeply heard."
