About Priscilla – Online Counsellor &
Gestalt Therapist in Australia
Hi, I’m Priscilla (she/her), a PACFA-registered counsellor and psychotherapist.
My own journey of healing and self-discovery led me to the heart of Gestalt therapy. At just three years old, I migrated to Australia, separated from most of my family. That early experience brought on deep feelings of loneliness, disconnection, and a sense of not belonging. Over time, I learned to silence my needs and disconnect from myself, patterns that shaped my relationships and life.
By my early twenties, I was struggling with anxiety and depression. It was through Gestalt therapy that I first experienced the power of being truly seen, supported, and gently guided back to myself. I began to understand how my early life experiences had shaped the way I moved through the world and how unresolved pain had quietly driven many of my patterns. That space gave me permission to feel, explore, and reconnect with the parts of myself I had long tucked away.
The process wasn’t easy, but it was transformative. It laid the foundation for the grounded, authentic life I now live, and ultimately inspired me to become a counsellor and psychotherapist committed to helping others find their own way home to themselves.
I have experience working with adults, supporting them as they navigate a range of life challenges and transitions.
From Leadership to Therapy:
A Human-focused Approach
My healing journey led me to formal training in Gestalt Counselling and Psychotherapy at 29. Over time, and through many layers of lived experience, I became a qualified counsellor. Someone who walks beside others with empathy, presence, and real-world wisdom.
With over 20 years of leadership and change management experience, I understand the emotional toll of high-pressure environments, complex career transitions, and burnout. I’ve mentored individuals through change and seen how unresolved emotional patterns show up in our personal and professional lives.
I've personally navigated grief, burnout, and major life transitions, including the evolving experience of perimenopause. These experiences have deepened my compassion, sharpened my insight, and strengthened my belief in holistic, human-focused mental health support.
Ready to Begin Your Own Journey
There’s something deeply meaningful about walking beside someone as they begin to reconnect with themselves. I’m inspired every day by the courage people show in taking that first step to seek support.
Through online counselling and Gestalt therapy, even long-held struggles can become opportunities for growth and clarity. Seeking help through online counselling can provide a supportive resource on your mental health journey. Whether it's releasing an old emotion, questioning a belief, or choosing to finally show up for yourself, these moments can open the way to insight and change.
Our experiences are not just hurdles. They can become doorways to reconnection, resilience, and transformation.
If you’re unsure about starting online counselling, consider speaking with Priscilla to discuss your options and find the support that’s right for you.
What’s a Session with Me Really Like?
I offer a warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative approach that combines professional expertise with lived experience. My work as both a counsellor and psychotherapist allows me to meet you with presence, skill, and genuine care. Together, we’ll create a space that feels supportive, real, and attuned to who you are and what you need.
Whether you’re navigating mental health challenges, exploring your identity, seeking support in your relationships, or moving through major life changes, I’m here to walk with you as your therapist and ally in your healing journey. In the online counselling setting, therapy is tailored to each clients' unique needs, ensuring a personalised and effective therapeutic experience.
I also bring specialised experience in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, shaped by three years of volunteer counselling with ACON. This work has deepened my understanding of identity exploration, diverse relationship structures, and the unique challenges and strengths within queer communities.
Why Gestalt Therapy Matters
Gestalt therapy is the foundation of my work. It invites presence, awareness, and responsibility, supporting you to see yourself more clearly and make choices that align with who you are becoming.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, Gestalt therapy explores the patterns, stories, and relationships that shape your experience. In an online counselling space, this approach can help you build clarity, resilience, and self-support while creating deeper connection with yourself and those around you.
What Guides My Work as a Therapist?
Authenticity & Realness – A space where you feel seen, heard, and free from judgement
Empowerment Through Awareness – Helping you gain insight into yourself to create lasting change
Emotional Resilience & Growth – Building the strength to meet life’s challenges with more clarity and ease

Connection & Relationships – Deepening your relationship with yourself and those around you
Will Therapy Really Make a Difference?
Through online counselling and Gestalt therapy, many clients experience:
-
Relief from anxiety and depression by exploring underlying causes and restoring emotional balance.
-
Healthier, more connected relationships with clearer boundaries and communication.
-
Greater self-confidence and trust, rooted in reconnection with your authentic self.
-
Clarity and resilience through life transitions like career shifts, breakups, or grief.
-
Improved work–life balance and reduced burnout by cultivating sustainable ways of living and working.
These changes don’t happen overnight, but with the right counsellor, the right space, and the right support, meaningful transformation is possible.
I’d be honoured to support you on this journey as your counsellor.
