Kim Wale Counselling
A warm, non-judgemental and hope generating counselling practice. I apply an embodied trauma and solution-focused approach to support you in your current challenges and work with you to release the past, enjoy the present and create the future you desire.
My Approach
​​Using a person-centered approach I hold compassionate space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and make sense of your current life challenges.
​
Using an embodied trauma integration approach, I work with you to re-member the parts of yourself that are stuck in past traumatic experiences. I guide you through a process whereby you access your bodies inner healing system - allowing you to experience, release and integrate the "frozen" trauma-response. As this process unfolds the individuals system is able to reorientate itself in a healthy way. This positively transforms your perspective of yourself and the world.
​
Using a solution-focused approach I work constructively with you to envision and create the future you desire. Together we will work towards:​
​
-
setting desirable, clear and achievable goals
-
developing your resources (inner and outer) that can help you reach your goals
-
fleshing out the details of your path and breaking it down into small steps
-
supporting you along your unique path of growth and creation
Meet Kim Wale
I am a registered specialist wellness counsellor based in Tokai, an academic researcher and author, and a wife and mother. My counselling practice offers a non-judgmental, positive and nurturing space for self-exploration, traumatic memory release and solution-building. In this space, I journey with people through their current life challenges, enabling them to access their inner healing system and discover the wisdom that already exist within them to create the future they desire.
I look forward to helping you navigate this moment in your unique journey, to heal from the past, enjoy the present and create the future.
Solution-Focused
Counselling
We all have a unique path to walk, but sometimes we get a little stuck and are not sure how to move forward. The aim of solution-focused counselling is to help you move forward in a positive direction of growth and self-transformation. Individual sessions provide a non-judgemental, confidential and supportive environment to facilitate a process of constructive self-reflection, inner growth and outer change. Initially I take you through a 4 session solution-focused intervention designed to accelerate your growth. Collaboratively we develop your key goals for growth, imagine what life will look like when these goals are achieved, and empower you to achieve this vision in a step-by-step supported process.
Embodied Trauma
Integration
This process works with the "inner-healer" - the wisdom of the body to heal itself. I offer a nurturing, supportive space for you to journey into the painful memories that impact your experience of present life. Feelings of worthlessness, loss of trust, anxiety and relationship difficulties are often rooted in traumatic memories (especially developmental and relationship traumas). The process involves guiding you through a process of activating, releasing and integrating the "frozen" trauma-response held in these memories at a deep embodied level. As these memories are integrated, your experience of yourself and the world transforms towards greater self-worth, acceptance and trust again.
