therapy that slows down to listen in
Therapy should feel like a soft space to land, not a test you have to pass. Together, we work at your pace, getting curious about your inner world. Not to “fix” you, but to understand your story, meet the parts of you that are protecting you, and help you reconnect with your purpose, your creativity, and self-compassion.

Meet Rhiannon 〰️
Rhiannon (they/them) is a social worker and counsellor, supporting people to feel more at home in themselves, and in the world around them.
Rhiannon brings both professional training and deep personal understanding to their work, combining their lived experience with a Masters of Social Work, and a range of specialist therapeutic modalities.
Their approach is trauma-informed, justice-oriented, and grounded in an open worldview, not judgement. Rhiannon works relationally, meeting each client where they are – with care, compassion, and respect for the fullness of their story.
They live on Djaara Country (Castlemaine) and currently offer in-person sessions from their Castlemaine office and Telehealth sessions across so-called “australia”.
What brings people to soft story?
While soft story welcomes any adults from so-called “Australia”, Rhiannon has particular experience working alongside people navigating:
Persistent pain and chronic illness
Finding meaning amid unpredictable bodies and medical systems that often fall short
Burnout and overwhelm
Especially for neurodivergent folks, those in helping professions and those making change in their communities.
Trauma
Whether from single events or ongoing experiences, including PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, relationship trauma or abuse, and trauma inflicted because of existing in a marginalised body.
Questions of identity and belonging
Including gender, sexuality, and finding your place in the world.
Post-termination/abortion care
We hold space for people of all genders to explore their unique experiences of pregnancy termination. Whether recent or years past, supporting you to process complex feelings without judgements of attempts to “fix” what you’re experiencing.
