Kirt is a Qualified Counsellor and Somatic Therapist, recognized by the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) (Member Number: 229911).

She provides 1:1 sessions for individuals, Couples, holds Women’s Circles online and in person, and is known for her flexibility in providing a safe and confidential spaces for her clients wherever they choose to engage, such as a lake or beach walk. As a somatic focused Therapist, she is a true believer in movement and release. Kirt has a dedicated interest and personal experience in women’s mental health, trauma recovery & suicidal ideation. She utilizes traditional theories and therapies, combined with a person-centered and strength-based approach. Kirt strengths lie in initiating the healing process through gentle somatic practices, which help her clients feel a sense of safety in their bodies. This approach aids in assisting their nervous systems to eventually respond from a present experience rather than that of the younger "part" that is still wounded. Awareness around IFS, Compassionate focused therapy and attachment this approach empowers people to manage real-time triggers more effectively as they build capacity and return to sovereignty. Kirt has recently been part of an online Menopause Self Care Summit, Newcastle's first Mental Health Expo and loves collaboration with other practitioners, modalities and therapies. In her own journey she became very aware that there is no ONE "thing", no quick fix, no one Guru or 'rapid fire 30 day program'. When it comes to healing, it is not linear, nor can we give an end date. Healing, like life, is a journey. She believes in finding providers with similar values, ethics and compassion capacity to cross refer and utilise for the betterment of the person.
