What Is Holistic Counselling?
Holistic counselling is a whole-person professional counselling approach that looks at different parts of your life and how they affect your emotional wellbeing.
Instead of focusing on one problem alone, holistic counselling understands that your thoughts, feelings, body, relationships, past, environment, and life situations are all connected.
For example, ongoing stress might not just be about having too much to do. It could also involve relationship issues, past experiences, boundaries, self-esteem, lifestyle pressures, or feeling out of touch with your needs.
Holistic counselling gives you the chance to explore these links and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
Depending on your needs, holistic counselling may look at:
-
Emotional wellbeing: Understanding your feelings and triggers.
-
Thoughts and mindset: Exploring beliefs, self-talk, and perspectives.
-
Past experiences: Seeing how your history influences now.
-
Relationships and attachment: Looking at connection, boundaries, and patterns.
-
Physical wellbeing: How stress and emotions relate to your body.
-
Values and purpose: Discovering what matters most to you.
-
Personal growth: Building self-awareness, confidence, and understanding your needs.
Spirituality and personal beliefs can be part of counselling if they’re important to you, but they are never forced or assumed.
The goal is to understand you as a whole person and support your emotional wellbeing in a way that respects your experiences and values.
Learn more about holistic counselling in more depth here.
How Is Holistic Counselling Different From Traditional Counselling?
Traditional counselling also looks at a person’s relationships, history, feelings, and thoughts.
Holistic counselling puts special focus on seeing you as a whole person and how all parts of your life interact.
At Signs of Abundance, holistic counselling combines professional counselling with a broader whole-person view.
Instead of only focusing on one difficulty, sessions explore emotional, psychological, relationship, behaviour, and personal factors affecting you.
There’s no need to follow any spiritual belief or alternative therapies unless you want to.
The approach is grounded in counselling, centred on your needs and what you want to explore.
Find out more about the difference between holistic and traditional counselling here.
What Does a Holistic Counselling Session Involve?
Every session is unique because everyone’s life and needs are different.
Some sessions may focus on talking through tough feelings or experiences.
Others might explore relationship habits, personal beliefs, behaviours, boundaries, self-worth, or life changes.
Depending on your goals, sessions can include:
-
Reflective conversation and self-exploration.
-
Understanding your emotional and behavioural patterns.
-
Seeing how past experiences shape your present.
-
Identifying your strengths and resources.
-
Developing practical coping skills.
-
Mindfulness and relaxation tools when suitable.
-
Exploring your values, identity, and meaning.
-
Working towards more self-awareness and emotional balance.
Tara’s approach is integrative, empathic, strengths-based, and psychodynamic, meaning she uses different counselling methods tailored to you, not a rigid formula.
You stay actively involved, deciding what feels right and what you want to achieve.
Learn about different counselling approaches here.

A Holistic Approach That Respects Your Individual Beliefs
Holistic counselling means different things to different people.
For some, it’s about seeing the link between emotions, thoughts, body, and relationships.
For others, it may include values, spirituality, identity, and purpose.
At Signs of Abundance, your experience guides the process.
You don’t need to be spiritual or have experience with holistic therapies.
If you prefer a practical, grounded counselling style, that’s welcome.
If personal meaning, mindfulness, or spiritual views matter to you, these can be explored with your agreement.
The aim is never to impose a view but to provide a space where you can explore what feels authentic to you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What services do you offer?
I offer holistic counselling, spiritual healing services and clinical hypnotherapy in Palm Cove (Cairns) and online across Australia. This includes counselling for anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, depression, life direction clarity, hypnotherapy for behavioural change such as smoking cessation and weight loss, as well as spiritual modalities including past life regression (QHHT-style sessions), Akashic Records readings, and energy healing.
What is the difference between counselling, hypnotherapy, and spiritual healing?
Counselling focuses on conscious emotional processing, understanding thoughts, feelings, and behavioural patterns through talk therapy. Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind to change habits, emotional responses, and deeper behavioural patterns.
Spiritual healing sessions work with deeper intuitive or energetic processes such as past life regression, Akashic Records work, and subconscious energetic clearing. Each modality works differently, and many clients benefit from more than one depending on their goals.
Can I combine counselling and hypnotherapy?
Yes, however counselling and hypnotherapy sessions are treated as separate appointment types. You can receive counselling within a hypnotherapy session when appropriate, but dedicated counselling sessions are structured as standalone sessions to ensure depth and proper therapeutic focus. This ensures each modality is delivered ethically and effectively based on its intended purpose.
Do I need counselling before hypnotherapy?
Not necessarily. Some clients begin with counselling to gain clarity and emotional grounding, while others begin directly with hypnotherapy depending on their goals. The approach is always tailored to your needs and what is most appropriate for your situation.
What issues can counselling help with?
Counselling can support you with anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, trauma recovery, relationship breakdowns, low self-esteem, feeling stuck, emotional overwhelm, and life direction clarity. It is also helpful if you are going through transitions or want deeper understanding of yourself and your patterns.
What can hypnotherapy help with?
Hypnotherapy can support behavioural and subconscious change including smoking cessation, weight loss, emotional eating, anxiety reduction, habit change, fear and phobias, confidence building, and breaking long-standing patterns that feel hard to shift through willpower alone.
What is past life regression and QHHT-style hypnosis?
Past life regression is a deep relaxation process that allows access to subconscious imagery, memories, or symbolic experiences that may relate to emotional patterns or inner beliefs. QHHT-style hypnosis is a structured regression-based approach that explores subconscious insights for clarity, emotional release, and personal understanding. These sessions are always client-led, safe, and deeply relaxing.
What is Akashic Records reading?
An Akashic Records reading is an intuitive spiritual session that focuses on gaining insight into emotional patterns, life direction, and energetic themes. Many clients use these sessions for clarity, guidance, and understanding recurring life challenges or relationships.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. All services are available both in-person at Palm Cove in Cairns and online via secure video sessions across Australia and internationally. Online sessions are structured to be just as effective as in-person sessions for most clients.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your goals. Some clients attend a single session for clarity or insight, while others work over several sessions for deeper behavioural or emotional change. Counselling clients often attend between 4–12 sessions depending on complexity and depth of work.
I am going through financial hardship. Do you offer sliding scale prices on your counselling sessions.
Yes, I do offer a limited number of reduced-fee counselling sessions for clients experiencing genuine financial hardship. Due to high demand and to ensure I can maintain consistent care for all clients, these spaces are offered on a limited monthly basis to prevent practitioner burnout and maintain the quality of support provided. If you feel you may require a sliding scale rate, you are welcome to contact me directly to have a brief phone conversation. This allows us to discuss your situation and, if appropriate, agree on a reduced fee that is sustainable for both of us. Once a sliding scale arrangement is agreed upon, your rate will remain in place for the duration of your counselling work together. To enquire or arrange a call, please text or phone Tara to organise a suitable time to speak.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. Everything discussed in sessions is strictly confidential and handled according to Australian counselling and professional ethical standards. The only exceptions involve legal requirements or serious safety risks.
Do I need to prepare anything before my session?
No preparation is required. You do not need to know exactly what to say or focus on.
Sessions are guided gently and you will be supported in exploring whatever is most relevant at your own pace.
What if I’m unsure which service I need?
If you are unsure, you can begin with counselling or simply book the service that feels most aligned. You are more than welcome to give Tara a call for a chat prior to booking a session. During your session, the most appropriate approach will naturally unfold based on your needs, and you may be guided toward counselling, hypnotherapy, or a combination if appropriate.
Are results guaranteed?
Results vary depending on the individual, their readiness for change, and the nature of the issue being addressed.
The work is designed to support meaningful emotional, behavioural, and subconscious change, but outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
How do I book a session?
You are welcome to book directly through the website, or contact Tara via text, phone, or email to arrange a suitable appointment time.
For longer sessions lasting 3 hours or more, bookings are arranged directly with Tara to ensure enough time is set aside for your session and individual needs. For the quickest response regarding availability for these longer appointments, simply send a text to Tara on 0481 336 666. During business hours, replies are usually provided within a few hours or sooner.
