Anam Òr (Golden Soul)

‘Anam Òr’ (Scottish Gaelic) symbolises an ode to our clients.
At the start of therapy, we often struggle to see ourselves clearly, only versions shaped by others' perceptions. It’s our privilege to witness the inner beauty within each client from the very moment they walk in, the hidden magic they may not yet recognise.

With curiosity, patience and time you can discover your own ‘Anam Òr’ aka ‘Golden Soul’.

​​​​​​​​

Fees vary by practitioner and session type - individual, couples, family, NDIS, or animal-assisted. Start with a free 20-minute 'Hello' via online Zoom, no cost, no pressure, and you'll see exact pricing when you book. Private health rebates may apply (Medibank, AHM, HBF, ARHG and more), and we're a registered provider for WorkSafe Victoria and the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) for victims of crime.
