“Here it is: the cover of my upcoming book, The Love Blueprint.” 💙

This has been years in the making, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you — front and back.

The Love Blueprint invites you to explore the patterns that shape your relationships: some passed down, some shaped by pain, and others drawn by the hopeful parts of us that found ways to survive. It’s about uncovering, understanding, and transforming these patterns so you can create deeper, more secure connections — with others, and with yourself.

The book will be released on November 10th ✨
Pre-orders will be opening soon, and in the lead-up I’ll be sharing sneak peeks, reflections, and pieces from the book. I’ll also be hosting pre-release events, book launches, and workshops — and I’d love for you to join me.

Thank you for being here with me on this journey. 💫

Big news! ✨
The cover of my book is finally ready, and I can’t wait to share it with you! 💫

The journey of the last few years is finally coming to life, a project filled with heart, healing, and hope. My book, due for release later this year, will have its cover revealed this Friday at 8PM AEST.

I’m so excited to share this milestone with you and take the very first step in bringing it into the world. 🌿📖

Of course, your past matters. Trauma and attachment wounds shape the way you relate and how you think about and view yourself—but they don’t have to define you. It makes sense if love feels overwhelming, if trust feels risky, or if closeness feels unsafe.

But healing is a choice and a decision only you can make and take responsibility for, moving forward is a choice. And when safety and connection become the foundation, intimacy transforms from something to fear, into something that heals.

💡 In my soon to be released book, I explore the blueprint beneath our relationships—the patterns that keep us stuck, and the pathways that lead us toward love that is secure, nourishing, and lasting.

And I can’t wait to share the cover and more details with you very soon. 🌸✨

Rituals That Keep Me Grounded 🌿

For me, healing isn’t just something that happens in the therapy room. It’s something I choose, daily, in the way I care for my body, my mind, and my heart.

Some of the rituals that keep me steady and connected:
✨ Daily walks in nature
✨ Strength training & moving my body with joy
✨ Meditation and breath
✨ Dancing — letting myself feel alive in movement
✨ Journaling to meet my inner world
✨ Nourishing food to fuel my body
✨ Deep, consistent sleep
✨ Moments of stillness, meditation , or reflection

These aren’t “perfect practices.” They are gentle reminders that I can return to myself, over and over again.

And from my soon-to-be released book:

✨ “Sometimes, the work begins not with a grand revelation, but with the smallest of moments — the hand you keep holding instead of pulling away, the breath you stay with instead of cutting short. Small choices like these, repeated over time, begin to change the story.” ✨
By Heidi Louise- Psychotherapist

💫 I hope some of these rituals inspire you to tend gently to your own nervous system today.

“Every person and relationship is unique — so the way we heal must be too.
In my work, I weave together the science of Gottman Couples Therapy, the depth of Internal Family Systems, and a person-centred approach that honours your individual story.
It’s not about fitting you into a method.
It’s about meeting you exactly where you are, so you can move toward the life and love you want — in your own way, at your own pace.”
“If you’re curious about therapy — or ready to explore yourself and your relationships in a deeper way — I’d love to hear from you. Let’s begin the conversation.”

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
