Self Awareness Cultivation focuses on removing your limiting beliefs to form healthy emotional relationships firstly with yourself, and then, with others. The goal of the therapy is to heighten one’s awareness in order to provide a choice in doing something differently.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt Therapy does not aim to change clients. The therapist's role is to assist clients in developing their own self-awareness of how they are in the present moment. This will therefore allow them to rectify issues affecting their life.
Client Centred Therapy
The purpose of person-centred therapy is for the therapist to help you "self-actualize.” In other words, you will grow to believe that you can reach your full potential. This approach focuses on personal growth and facilitates healthy relationships. It can strengthen your sense of identity and help you connect better with others.
Narrative Therapy
The stories you believe about yourself can shape your worldview. Narrative therapy can empower you to “re-author” your own narrative.
Acceptance & Commitment
Therapy
Accept what is out of your personal control and commit to action that improves and enriches your life. The aim of ACT is to maximise human potential for a rich, full, and meaningful life.
Solution Focused
Therapy
Accept your present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences. The aim is to empower clients to use their own abilities in solving life’s problems.
Strength Based
Therapy
Accept your unique potential and create a life that feels energised and authentic. The aim is to focus on the positive attributes, rather than the negative ones.

Shelly’s therapeutic approach focuses on the here and now, that is your immediate experience.
While the past certainly affects how we perceive the world, Shelly wants to understand what is happening for you in the moment.
She will asks you to describe your feelings rather than trying to analyse & interpret where you are at. This method is known as ‘phenomenology’;
it heightens awareness and relational depth.
Shelly recognises that to each individual, their own experience holds far greater authority than anything else.
In person and tele-health
Shelly’s therapeutic space is located in Townsville, Qld Australia. We also offer tele - therapy meaning you can access support from the comfort of your home.
