Gisela Boetker Counselling operates in the realm of conventional counselling, engaging in ‘talk’ therapy through generative listening.

What sets Gisela’s work apart is the addition of a suite of holistic techniques. These techniques work to understand, transform and relieve the symptoms and causes of stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, etc.

Holistic Counselling is a practice that focuses on the entire lived experience of the client. This includes their thoughts, beliefs, stories, emotions as well as their ‘felt sense’ or body experience.

Together we look at what lies beneath stressful or overwhelming thoughts or emotions. We might ask, ‘What is anxiety and/or depression calling to?’ ‘What needs are not being met in a current problem or issue?’ ‘What purpose might the symptom serve?’

Working at a pace that feels effective and safe for you we create new neural pathways that enable you to see your life from a fresh perspective, and feel the relief and peace you seek. Clients report a sense of unburdening from suffering and moving into a more grounded and attuned relationship with themselves.
