Kim Wale Counselling
A supportive and non-judgemental counselling practice. I hold space for you to feel, release, explore, integrate, heal and dream. I meet clients where they are, and help them to discover where they want to be. I intuitively draw on a combination of approaches to help them get there, including: people-centered counselling, embodied trauma integration methods and parts work, and solution-focused approaches. I have found that in combination these approaches support clients to envision and work towards the positive changes they desire, while also releasing the painful burdens that block their pathway to this growth.

Meet Dr Kim Wale
I am a 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, processing and transformational growth. 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. 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. Feelings of worthlessness, loss of trust, anxiety and relationship difficulties are often rooted in traumatic memories (especially developmental and relationship traumas). I facilitate client's connection to past traumatic memories and emotional wounds, supporting the release and integration of unresolved traumatic energy through the body's natural healing responses. As we work to release the burdens carried from painful histories, this allows a shift in how you experience and relate to yourself and the world around you.
