About me


Hi, I'm Narla.
I’m a counsellor, writer, lover and artist, a woman devoted to weaving a world where connection runs deep, with all people, with nature, and with life itself.
My life and work is rooted in relationship: to the body, to emotion, to the sacred, to the stories we carry, and the ones we’re still writing. I support people through grief, intimacy, transition, transformation, and all the tender, messy, and beautiful terrain of being human.
I choose to relate in a way that suits me and have chosen a more open relating style for over 15 years. I believe in breaking down the social constructs that influence us, confine us and our how we connect.
I believe in creating relationships that are aligned with who we are in each moment, in each phase of our life.
I choose connections that support, challenge, and love me into growth, that nourish my joy, feed my soul, and help me to thrive.
​
I’m queer by nature, pansexual, fluid, and aroused by aliveness itself. By sensation, connection, honesty, and beauty. I find eros in the wind through the trees, in a lingering glance, in great music, in moments of truth, and in the depth of conversation.
I believe in the beauty of what’s raw.
I believe all of us is welcome, the good, the bad, the ugly, the wild and the damn strange.
And life is about bringing all of it together, into wholeness.
Originally from Naarm (Melbourne), have spend many years living overseas and I now live in the Northern Rivers on Bundjalung Country.

Why I offer this work?
Because I’ve lived it, and still live it.
I know what it’s like to feel disconnected. To be stuck in old patterns, longing for something more, and not knowing how to reach it.
​
I’ve sat in the rubble of endings. I’ve learned to speak where I once froze. I’ve felt the ache of unmet needs, and the quiet beauty of finally tending to them and feeling the relationship blossom.
I know the richness of transforming heartache and tenderness into gratitude and gifts.
That’s the alchemy I live for, and am devoted to walking with others through. I know the power of building relationships that align with who I am, and how that alignment supports every other part of life to thrive.​
​
I believe how we are in our closest relationships and most intimate spaces reflects how we move through the world.
And when we reshape those inner worlds, it ripples outwards, into our partners, families, our communities, and our collective future.



Education & Influence
I hold a Diploma of Counselling from The Relational Institute of Australia. My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience.
For over a decade I’ve explored the worlds of intimacy, embodiment, conscious sexuality, kink, and alternative relating. I’ve not only studied these fields but lived and taught within them, continually engaging and asking what it means to be an honest human in relationship.
My therapeutic approach blends:
-
Gestalt Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy,
Attachment Theory, and The Gottman's Method -
Somatic Practices and trauma-informed care
-
Adlerian Psychology, Jungian and Archetypal Psychology
I weave in the body’s wisdom, our nervous system intelligence, psychosomatic awareness, and the essential role of emotional expression in health.
Ritual, nature, and shamanic traditions are threads I return to again and again, reminding me that healing moves in cycles, not straight lines.
​
I am a ISTA Practitioner, and have completed a with a variety of trainings in massage, conscious touch, consent, and embodied safety.
