One of the greatest contributors to recovery and the ability to adjust to life’s challenges is to have understanding support. Bethesda Counselling cares about you, your relationships and your family. The name “Bethesda” is synonymous with healing and means “house of mercy, house of grace”. These are the values that Bethesda Counselling and Family Therapy have been founded on. Services are non judgemental, respectful of dignity and diversity and ethically bound to the Christian Counsellors Association of Australia’s Code of Ethics and the Australian Counselling Association’s Code of Ethics . Each counselling session is uniquely tailored to support clients’ individuality by offering a sensitive combination of talking, art and creative therapies. Christian counselling and prayer ministry is also available upon request. Bethesda Counselling and Family Therapy was established in 2012 by Narelle. At present, she is the only counsellor and family therapist on staff. Her vision is to see Bethesda grow and be able to provide placements for additional staff in the future whose skills, talents and expertise will add value to the organisation’s ability to impact and enhance lives and relationships.

Sacred balance doesn’t happen by accident 🤍 It’s something we gently, intentionally choose—especially at Christmas.

As we celebrate Emmanuel, God With Us, may we also choose:
✨ simplicity over pressure
✨ grace over expectation
✨ rest over exhaustion

Not every invitation needs a “yes.” Not every tradition needs to be carried out this year.

Pause. Breathe. Meet yourself with softness.
This, too, is a spiritual practice.

Our 2025 Christmas Guide offers gentle, faith-based support for navigating grief, family tension, financial stress, and emotional overwhelm during the season.

Every journey toward healing is precious to God, and sometimes He meets us through the safe, supportive spaces we choose to step into. At Bethesda, each service, whether counselling, supervision, EAP support, workshops or online sessions, is offered with a heart to honour His wisdom, His compassion, and His healing & restoring presence. 🕊️

My prayer is that you find a place where you can breathe, feel heard & understood, and gently reconnect with the hope God has for your life and relationships. 🙏🏼

If you sense the Lord nudging you to seek support in this season, please reach out. You don’t have to walk this path alone. 🤍

So many women I’ve been speaking with lately are feeling stretched, tired, and carrying huge responsibilities and “invisible” loads.

If that’s you this season, please know you’re not alone, and you don’t need to push through on empty.

I’ve created a free guide, 7 Encouraging, Faith-Based Tips for busy Christian women who want to navigate life's pressures with more peace, gentleness, and grace.

Inside, you’ll find:
• Faith-filled practices
• Simple grounding tools
• Scripture to steady your heart
• Ways to reconnect with God in the middle of your day

If you need a moment to breathe again, this was made with you in mind.

Sometimes the greatest healing happens when we dare to allow ourselves to be truly seen, known and guided with compassion.

Have you ever experienced a moment where support helped you connect more deeply with yourself, your vulnerabilities, your deep wounds and God’s tender presence?

If you’re in a season of needing extra support and compassionate care, please reach out.
We were never meant to navigate the hard times alone 🙏🕊️

A warm welcome to all who are new here. I’m so grateful you’ve found your way to this healing space. 🙏🕊️

I’m Narelle, Clinical Counsellor, Family Therapist, Trauma & Grief Support Therapist & founder of Bethesda Counselling. For over two decades, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families who are navigating emotional distress, painful past experiences, grief and the complexities of relationships.

My passion is to create healing spaces where people feel safe, seen, heard, and valued, especially those carrying childhood wounds, trauma, grief, relational heartache, and the heavy responsibilities of being a carer. Bethesda Counselling has always been grounded in mercy, grace, and a deep commitment to professional, ethical, compassionate & Christ-centred care.

Beyond the work I do, I’m also someone who deeply appreciates the quiet, grounding moments of life. I love hiking, snorkelling, spending time with my family & my dogs, travelling and conducting Chinese tea ceremonies.

Art & Creativity also play a big part in helping me decompress, process & express myself. Im currently enjoying watercolours, acrylic paints, & soft oil pastels. These gentle practices help restore my mind and spirit so I can pour back into others with clarity and compassion. Hello and welcome to all of you who are new here. I’m so grateful you’ve found your way to this space. 🙏🕊️

How about you? What helps you unwind and feel grounded? I’d love to hear what brings you peace. 🌸

Have you ever been told you’re too sensitive?
Like you feel too much, too deeply, too intensely?

Here’s the truth:
You’re not too much.
You’re not too emotional.
You’re a Highly Sensitive Person — beautifully wired by God to feel what others often overlook.

Without care, rest, and boundaries, this God-given sensitivity can turn into exhaustion, emotional overload, or burnout.

On the blog, we explore:
✨ What it really means to be an HSP
✨ Why sensitivity is a spiritual gift
✨ The unique strengths HSPs carry
✨ How to guard against burnout, anxiety, and overwhelm
✨ How Scripture affirms your tender heart
✨ Practical tools for emotional and spiritual wellbeing

Dear HSP, the world may not always understand you, but God does. 🌿
