Hi, lovely to meet you!

I’m Hilke from Nurture Our Nature Counselling. I’m a counsellor with all my heart and soul. And I passionately want to hear your story, connect with you, and then find a way for you to step forward into the sunshine.

In my lifetime I’ve had many different roles - acupuncturist (plus masseur, nutritional therapist, reflexologist, you name it). I was a primary school teacher, health coach, and carer for my beautiful autistic children. And then came counselling and brought it all together.

Having my practice here in Point Cook and online, allows me to bring together all that I’ve learnt and lived, and connect with so many extraordinary, strong, brave, smart, and wonderful people (you’ve guessed it - my clients!). We sit together, in a safe space, where I’m honoured to receive their worries, issues and overwhelm. Then we roll up our sleeves and find a way forward to help them reach their goals.

Counselling is a space for tears and laughter, rest, and hard work. And it always seems worth it. There’s no judgement, no time-frame - come as you are, for as long as you need. Or want. I’ll be your cheerleader, your technician, your companion. And this will allow you to take the next step, to unstick your stuckness, to recover, and discover new joy and purpose.

As a single mum with three neurodivergent kids (and through a pandemic), I’ve seen some pretty dark days. I’ve felt your exhaustion, overwhelm and despair. I know your anxiety, and the feeling that nothing you do, could possibly be enough.

I’m familiar with the sense of not seeing a way out, or a light at the end of the tunnel. I know what it’s like when you’re carrying the mental load for everyone and everything, and the buck always stops with you.

And I also know some effective therapies to tackle all that. I know how much it can help to share your worries with someone who’s been there. How important it is to have a safe space, where you can let go, where you’re not judged, and where you have the time to hear yourself think again.

With all that, I can offer you a solid sprinkling of tools, like mindfulness, tapping and breathwork. So you can regain your energy, calm that anxiety, and feel hope and joy.

You can probably tell by now how much my work lights me up. Because I get the biggest kick out of seeing my beautiful clients gain confidence and tackle their problems. When these wonderful women feel good again, when they feel that their lives are their own again, I know that there is no other job I’d rather do.

I invite you to get in touch with me and share your issues, so that you can start your journey to feeling wonderful again. Contact me to make an appointment, or for a chat. You can get to know me a little better before you commit to this journey - I’ll be so excited to hear from you.
