What Is Holistic Counselling
The Whole-Person Approach to Healing That Goes Beyond Talk Therapy
By Rachel Rose – Holistic Counsellor | Sunshine Coast & Online
When you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t quite hit the mark…
When you’re craving healing that’s deeper than the mind,
Or when you feel like your emotions, body, and spirit are asking for something more…That’s usually when people find their way to holistic counselling.
And if you’re here on the Sunshine Coast, or looking for online holistic therapy in Australia, this may be the sign you’ve been waiting for.
So, What Is Holistic Counselling?
Holistic counselling is a whole-person approach to therapy.
It doesn’t just focus on your thoughts or symptoms, it considers your mind, body, emotions, relationships, nervous system, spirit, and soul.
As a holistic counsellor based on the Sunshine Coast, my approach blends:
Trauma-informed therapy
Spiritual counselling and energy work
Creative expression and body-based processing
Nervous system education and parts work (like IFS)
Deep reverence for your lived experience, your pace, and your truth
We don’t pathologise you.
We don’t rush your story.
We listen to your whole self, even the parts that haven’t had a voice before.
Why So Many People on the Sunshine Coast Are Turning to Holistic Therapy
The Sunshine Coast is full of sensitive, intuitive, growth-oriented people — seekers, creatives, carers, change-makers.
But I’ve noticed many of them saying the same thing:
“I’ve tried talk therapy before… and it helped, but only to a point.”
Here’s why holistic therapy resonates so deeply here:
It’s deeper and more integrative
It honours the spiritual or intuitive parts of your experience
It works with energy, creativity, and somatic wisdom — not just the rational mind
It values connection, ritual, and nervous system regulation
It’s especially supportive for people healing from complex trauma, burnout, or spiritual disconnection
If you’re looking for a holistic therapist in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, or a soul-led space to explore your healing, you’re in the right place.
Holistic Counselling Is For You If You’re:
Feeling stuck or disconnected, even after years of personal development
Ready to explore the emotional roots of your physical symptoms
Wanting support that honours your spirituality, creativity, or sensitivity
Carrying shame, rage, grief or trauma that feels too big to hold alone
Longing to return to yourself — gently, honestly, and in your own time
Whether you’re based in Noosa, Maroochydore, Maleny, Nambour, Eumundi, or further south toward the Glass House Mountains — I offer in-person holistic counselling across the Sunshine Coast, as well as online sessions Australia-wide.
What Makes My Approach Unique?
I’m not a conventional therapist.
I bring years of experience in:
Creative, spiritual, and ritual-based healing
Sensorimotor Art Therapy and intuitive expression
Shamanic psychotherapy and subtle energy work
Parts work, attachment repair, and inner child integration
Holding space for deep emotional alchemy and soul remembering
Whether we’re unpacking a pattern, navigating grief, mapping your nervous system, or connecting with forgotten parts of you — the work is deeply intuitive and always client-led.
