Having space to share your story can be the first step towards support and personal growth.
Many people reach out to counselling when life feels overwhelming, when challenges feel too heavy to carry alone, or when they sense it’s time for a change but aren’t sure where to begin.
Here, you’ll be heard, understood, and supported as we work together through your journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing.
Hi, I’m Nicole Gaitan, an accredited counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).
I provide a warm, compassionate space where you can safely explore life’s challenges and be supported in your journey. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and empowered as they navigate their own unique path.
I work with individuals experiencing emotional overwhelm and life challenges, using a gentle, client-centered approach to help you build insight, confidence, and practical coping strategies at a pace that feels right for you.
I’m committed to creating a safe, non-judgemental space where meaningful change begins through feeling truly supported.
Welcome, and Thank You for Being Here
Areas of Support
-
Stress and Anxiety
Stress and anxiety support focuses on understanding what’s driving your stress, identifying triggers, and developing practical coping strategies. Sessions are tailored to help reduce tension, manage worry, and build a greater sense of calm and balance in everyday life.
-
Self-Awareness and Confidence
Self-awareness and personal growth support focuses on exploring your thoughts, emotions, and limiting beliefs to reconnect with your strengths. Sessions are tailored to build self-esteem, develop clarity, and cultivate self-compassion, supporting confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of identity.
-
Communication and Boundaries
Communication and boundaries support focuses on how you express your needs, respond to others, and navigate interactions. Sessions are tailored to develop skills in assertive communication, boundary-setting, and self-advocacy, helping you engage with clarity, confidence, and respect in both personal and professional relationships.
-
Grief and Loss
Grief and loss support focuses on navigating the many forms of loss — whether the death of a loved one, the ending of a relationship, or other significant life changes. Sessions are tailored to provide a gentle, caring approach to process emotions, share your story, and work through grief at your own pace, helping you feel heard, supported, and able to manage this difficult experience.
Counselling here is gentle, collaborative, and guided at your pace. Sessions take place in a calm, private home office in City Beach, Perth - intentionally designed to feel welcoming, grounding, and still.
Each session offers space to slow down, make sense of your thoughts and emotions, and develop practical tools you can take with you beyond our time together.
You’re welcome to bring whatever feels present. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply needing a safe space to talk things through, this is time set aside just for you.
A Calm and Nurturing Space
It’s completely normal to feel uncertain about starting counselling, especially if it’s your first time.
You’re welcome to move at a pace that feels right for you, ask questions, and simply arrive as you are.
If you’d like to see whether this space and approach feels like a good fit, I warmly invite you to book a complimentary call.
