“Distance doesn’t have to be a barrier to healing.” Online Psychotherapy – Wherever You Are 🌏💻🧠

One of the things I’m deeply grateful for is being able to offer online therapy via Zoom. It means I can support clients not just locally, but interstate, overseas, and in rural or remote communities where access to therapy can be limited.

Some people are unsure at first — wondering if online therapy can really be as effective. But time and again, I’ve seen how it breaks down barriers:
🏡 More comfort in your own space
⏰ Greater flexibility with time
🚗 No commute or travel stress

And for many, it feels just as connected and safe as being in the room together.

Therapy should meet you where you are — emotionally and geographically.

If you’ve been on the fence about online sessions, you’re not alone. I’m always happy to chat about what it involves and how it might support you. 💬

A healthy relationship isn’t just about learning what to do to connect — it’s also about gently exploring and unlearning what creates disconnection.

Often, the things that block intimacy — criticism, shutting down, defensiveness — are protective parts trying to keep us safe. When we approach these patterns with curiosity rather than shame, we open the door to real healing.

Therapy offers a space to understand these deeper layers, to reconnect with yourself, and to grow the kind of secure, intimate connection you long for — both within and with others.

You don’t have to do it alone. Healing is relational.

As a couples therapist I often hear couples express they wish they didn’t wait so long before coming to seek support, when the realise some of their issues could be quickly navigated in a more effective, connected way. Why do we think we should have all the skills for relationships- often we learn these from our family of origin (which may not always have been the healthiest model) past relationships or some of our own self learning. Gottman couples therapy offers over 5 decades of evidence based research in what is needed and works to build and maintain a loving secure intimate relationship.

Parts Workshop - “Journey Within” Who is this workshop for? This 2.5-hour interactive workshop is designed to introduce you to the transformative principles of parts work drawing from the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy model.

Whether you’re a mental health professional, a curious learner, or someone seeking deeper self-awareness, this workshop offers a practical and compassionate approach to understanding your inner world. Parts work -(IFS Therapy) is based on the idea that we all have a core Self—a place of clarity, confidence, and calm—and various parts that develop to navigate life’s challenges. Some of these parts may carry wounds or protective roles that influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

By working with these parts through curiosity and compassion, IFS helps us heal, grow, and reconnect with our true Self.
In this workshop, you will:
• Gain an understanding of the key concepts and principles of parts work (IFS Therapy).
• Explore the roles of protective and vulnerable parts within yourself.
• Learn practical tools to foster self-compassion and inner balance.
• Participate in guided exercises to connect with your inner system.

This workshop is perfect for those new to parts work (IFS Therapy) or looking to enhance their self-reflection practices. You’ll leave with insights and tools that you can apply to your personal or professional life.

Facilitator: Heidi Louise, a qualified psychotherapist with over a decade of experience, AMHSW, IFS Therapist and Lvl 3 Gottman Couples Therapist.

Date and Time: Sunday 9th of February - Two small group sessions with a maximum of 10 participants per session. 10am and 2pm

Location: Soul Space, 23 Parker St Newmarket QLD 4051

Registration: $280 Reserve your spot today by contacting hello@heidilouise.org or book online via website heidilouisecounselling.org Limited spaces available.

Discover how understanding and learning to work with your parts can help you cultivate greater self-understanding, inner harmony, and personal growth. I look forward to welcoming you!

Excited to announce the launch of my “Journey Within” 365 Daily Journal prompts.

This was created from witnessing and experiencing personally the profound impact self-reflection and personal growth can have on one’s life. Through my work I’ve seen how the practice of journaling can serve as powerful tool for fostering deep awareness, emotional healing, and meaningful change.

Journaling offers a space for exploration, connection and transformation. It allows us to engage with parts of ourselves, honour our vulnerabilities and cultivate self compassion.

These 365 journal prompts have been carefully crafted to support you on your journey of self-discovery. Inspired by principles of Internal Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness and self-compassion, they are designed to guide you through a year of introspection and growth.

This was born out of the requests from many brave souls I have had the honour to work with - so thank you.

Available for purchase/download via my website store I hope these prompts encourage you to journal, inspire and reflect on your life with curiosity and an open heart ❤️ Heidi Louise

Thank you for articulating so beautifully the gentle reminder to do the work…to grow in awareness of our patterns, coping strategies which no longer serve us and hold us back. Sending love to all on this journey of healing and living, may we welcome more joy and increase our capacity to hold more and embrace and be more present in life in all of its ways.
