Ms Steph Basia

Psychotherapist

“I am a holistic counsellor/psychotherapist, with an extensive experience in meditation and mindful living. I use an eclectic approach in my practice including, somatic therapy - where the body is used in the process of understanding the client's issues and to indicate signs of healing.”

About Me

I offer a holistic space where mind and body connect deeply. Drawing on my extensive experience in meditation and mindful living, I guide you to explore your experiences. We use somatic therapy to understand how your body holds emotions and signals healing. This approach suits clients seeking a grounded way to process challenges and find lasting inner balance.

Approach

Sessions unfold as a steady, embodied exploration—gentle breath, curious noticing and reflective questioning that link bodily signals to life stories. I work with adults in Sydney and online in English, keeping a calm tempo that balances present-moment sensing with quieter, psychodynamic reflection between sessions. You can expect grounding practices, movement or posture checks, and invitations to track sensations as clues to deeper patterns. This way of working often helps people facing stress, burnout or climate-related grief who want practical, felt understanding and lasting change.
