Ms Bronte Purcell
Psychotherapist, Counsellor
Post Grad. Holistic Counselling & Psychotherapy
Byron Bay, NSW 2481
Online Therapy Australia-wide
Philosophy & Vision
The approach I take is somatic, person-centred, trauma-informed and built on a foundation of openness, acceptance, curiosity & compassion. In session, we will create a safe space together and move at a pace that honours your individual needs, allowing you to integrate both your thoughts and your feelings. The main modalities I use are: Somatics, Focusing, IFS (internal family systems), Parts Work, Process-oriented Psychology, Art Therapy, and Nervous System education.
Background
I have a background in naturopathy & herbal medicine, and then I moved into the field of mental health at the end of 2019. I bring both my lived experience and professional education into the work that I do. My own personal development journey over the past 10 years, including years of receiving therapy in different psychotherapeutic modalities, silent meditation retreats, nature-based vision quests, embodiment workshops, and other personal initiations shapes a lot of my knowledge. I combine all of this rich knowledge with years of institutional study in Psychotherapy, Naturopathy, Bodywork & Birthwork.

Therapy Approach
The approach I take is person centred, trauma informed and built on a foundation of safety, curiosity and compassion. I use a body-based approach to psychotherapy so that you can understand and integrate both your thoughts and feelings.
The work that I do is a body, mind & whole-being approach to well-being. There is an innate wisdom that exists within every living being, that is constantly working towards our survival, our healing, and our growth. Therefore, it is my role as a therapist & practitioner to work in collaboration with you so that you can reconnect to this wisdom.
