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.
So much of what we call "normal" in love and relationship was never designed with our aliveness in mind. I believe in questioning all of it and building something truer in its place. We have permission to create the life and love we actually desire. Not the version handed to us by culture, family, or convention.
The one that fits who we truly are.
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. Life is about bringing all of it together,
into wholeness.
I have lived and loved outside convention for fourteen years. Open relating has been one of my greatest teachers. It asked me to develop a level of self awareness, communication, and emotional honesty that I simply could not have found any other way. And what I have discovered is that those skills, when brought back into any relationship structure, deepen everything.
Monogamy, polyamory, solo relating. The lens changes. The clarity and lived experience that comes from doing this path of relating is something I carry into every session I hold.
Originally from Naarm (Melbourne), I have spent many years living overseas and now live in the Northern Rivers on Bundjalung Country.
Why I offer this work.
Because I have lived it, and still live it.
I know what it feels like to be disconnected. To be stuck in old patterns, longing for something more, and not knowing how to reach it.
I have sat in the rubble of endings. I have learned to speak where I once froze. I have felt the ache of unmet needs, and the quiet beauty of finally tending to them and feeling a relationship blossom.
I know the richness of transforming heartache and tenderness into gratitude and gifts.
That is 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, our 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 have explored the worlds of intimacy, embodiment, conscious sexuality, kink, and alternative relating.
I have not only studied these fields but lived and taught within them, continually asking what it means to be an honest human in relationship.
My therapeutic approach draws from Gestalt Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, and the Gottman Method, woven together with somatic practices, trauma-informed care, Adlerian Psychology, and Jungian and Archetypal Psychology.
I bring in the body's wisdom, 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 an ISTA Practitioner and have completed trainings in massage, conscious touch, consent, and embodied safety.
