Have you tried mindful drawing in nature? I first began this practice in 2015 as part of program and gosh it was deeply mindful, the more you look the more you notice and sense….and if you may be lucky enough to relate to the more than human beings and learn from their wisdom…I’ve treated myself to a plein air art class with and I’m loving mindful drawing, with no focus on the outcome just focussing on the mindful process of noticing and sensing, relating with nature! This white faced heron flew in and reminded me of all the times Heron has gifted me wisdom 😊🙏🏼🌱 Nature art journalling is one of the options when we do a nature connection walk

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy that embraces your Spirituality
Hobart (Battery Point & West Moonah) & Online

Hi Everyone, I have availability for new clients who are interested in working with their human complexity and sacred spirituality to understand, heal and bring integration to their parts, wounds, trauma while also growing their capacity to access all the qualities of their Essence / Soul / Spirit. The IFS I share with clients is embodied, creative and nature-based and fully embraces all other spiritual practices including ancestral lineage healing, mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, prayer etc. I see clients face to face in my office or in nature and I also see clients online. Hope to hear from you soon 🙂 Please message me for more information or you can find out more info here: https://saraphillipscounselling.com.au/internalfamilysystems/

Hi Everyone,

In November I completed an ACA Accredited Clinical Supervision course and I am offering low cost individual supervision sessions until end of June 2026. More info here: https://saraphillipscounselling.com.au/supervision/

The supervision course and research was eye-opening for me to discover the potential for what clinical supervision can be!

I was a coach (with International Coach Federation) before I became a counsellor so my supervision style has aspects of coaching to it (setting goals, actions between sessions and accountability) AND I am an IFS-Informed therapist (and Level 4 Counsellor ACA and Clinical Counsellor PACFA) so I love supporting you with your therapist parts or other parts that might be getting activated with clients. I collabourate with you and your nervous system’s preferences to work with your parts using embodied, creative, nature-based strategies so supervision can feel fun, nourishing and energising as well as useful (and you can use those strategies with clients if they feel right for you ).

I’m currently in private practice so love supervision that also focusses on setting up a private practive AND in the past I have worked for a few organisations so I understand burn out, vicarious trauma, and the need to cope with KPIs and managers.

Feel free to reach our if you have any questions or would like more info? Cheers, Sara 🙂

‘Our two most trustworthy guides are Mother Earth and our own Soul and Body’…I heard this on retreat recently with (Dark Alchemy of Embodied Prayer; grief and gifts) and it is ringing deeply true for me. 🌱 Since being back from retreat I’ve been lucky to be guiding people to listen to the two most trustworthy guides in beautiful spots in nature….and the wisdom that is here when we listen deeply always astounds and delights me! 🌱 One of the tools we use in nature, when we’re talking about our inner world of parts, is we externalise them by finding things in nature, in the outer world, to reflect our inner world. This deepens our understanding of parts, and how we can relate to them, and other humans in our life relate to us. 🌱I try every weekend to listen deeply to my two trustworthy guides and these photos all represent things I found that had deep significance for my inner world and gave me much support and deepened my understanding…Thank you Mother Earth for being such a trustworthy guide 🙏🏼💖 And if I see people in the office we still access this trustworthy wisdom through visualisation, nature objects, looking out the window, using metaphor and story 😊🤗

Grief and Gratitude, how do we hold the complexity of this world we live in,the global events/crises, the personal challenges in our bodies, relationships, lives? Often our parts want the world to be all or nothing, a fairy tale ending, and part of the healing journey is understanding the complexity of being human in these times. May you, as shares in the Wild Edge of Sorrow find ways to release and express your grief, (and anger etc) AND to express and share your gratitude and joy for what is here in this moment. All emotions belong, all are welcome. May you have many moments of curiousity, compassion, courage and creativity with people you care about and in connection with the parts of Mother Earth you care about. I’m having a digital detox to be with grief and gratitude as we transition into the New Year- see you in January 🙏🏼🌱🤗

Thankyou for this post. This could be on of the most accurate visual depictions of therapy I’ve seen, a key question always, in every therapy session is how do we increase our capacity to be with the stress of living in this world at this time? 🙏🏼🌱😊

Really looking forward to gathering this evening to cultivate some Active Hope in a community of practice. Brene Brown in her research found that hope is a thinking process that can be cultivated. Joanna Macy from understood that we need community spaces to allow our grief for what is happening in the world in order to cultivate hope. For our first gathering we’re going to be writing /creating a love letter to Mother Earth with sentence starters from the Active Hope Spiral inspired by my friend Alice🙏🏼😊🌱 I found these beautiful prayer flags of gratitude and hope in Lenah Valley recently, such a great thing to do, eapecially watching the plants begin to burst forth with new life 🙏🏼🌱😊
