Support for Life’s Challenges with Online Counselling
It’s natural to experience anxiety, overwhelm, grief, or self-doubt. These aren’t signs of failure, they’re part of being human. Often, they signal that something deeper is asking to be seen.
Rather than pushing through, online counselling or therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and gently explore what’s really going on. With professional mental health support, life’s challenges can become powerful turning points toward self-awareness, clarity, and meaningful change.
Taking the step to seek help isn’t always easy. However, your first session can open a new doorway to healing and reconnection.
Why I am Passionate About Therapy
Hi, I’m Priscilla (she/her). Therapy changed my life, not by removing the hard stuff, but by giving me the tools to face it with more strength, clarity, and self-respect. Over time, I became more aligned with my own values, more authentic in my relationships, and more at peace within myself.
I know what it’s like to feel disconnected, to silence your own needs, and to carry pain that hides in the shadows. I also know how powerful it is to feel truly seen, supported, and gently invited back to yourself. That’s at the heart of why I became a counsellor and psychotherapist.
I walk beside my clients with care, kindness, and integrity, bringing both formal training and lived experience. My calling is to support you in discovering the kind of healing and reconnection I’ve found. When you begin to meet yourself with curiosity and compassion, everything starts to shift.
Life’s hardest moments can become turning points. Therapy gave me that chance and it’s both humbling and an honour to hold that space for others.

What is Gestalt Counselling and Psychotherapy?
At Rising Phoenix Counselling, I offer Gestalt therapy as a dynamic, relational, and holistic approach to mental health and personal growth. This therapeutic style goes beyond techniques. It’s about presence, connection, and the way we relate. Rather than analysing or diagnosing, I sit beside you as your therapist, supporting emotional awareness, personal responsibility, and the unfolding of new possibilities.
We all carry “unfinished business”, unresolved emotions or protective patterns that once served us but may no longer do. In our counselling sessions, these can be brought into awareness, explored compassionately and integrated at your pace.
We may gently work with creative experiments, two-chair dialogue, or somatic awareness. These are tools that help you access deeper insight and begin shifting long-standing dynamics that no longer serve your wellbeing. Gestalt therapy draws from phenomenology, inviting you to stay close to your lived experience, without rushing to fix, explain, or judge.
At the heart of this approach is the counselling relationship, a safe, attuned space built on trust, presence, and respect.
How Gestalt Therapy Supports Your
Mental Health and Resilience
Gestalt therapy helps you reconnect with your inner world and rediscover your personal resources. Through self-awareness and presence, you can respond to life with more clarity, flexibility, and self-support.
Together, we’ll explore long-held patterns, unmet needs, or inner tensions with curiosity, not judgment, building emotional resilience from the inside out. Whether you’re navigating emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or deeper mental health issues, Gestalt therapy creates space for meaningful healing. This form of mental health care supports you not only in symptom relief, but in growing your capacity for change, presence, and authentic connection.
Gestalt also honours your wider context. Using field theory, we explore how your mental health and wellbeing are influenced by your relationships, community, and cultural environment. Through present-moment awareness in each counselling session, we uncover what’s ready to shift and what’s longing to be met.
Whether you're seeking short-term support or long-term mental health treatment, this therapeutic work invites you into a deeper, more empowered relationship with yourself.
