About

A space to feel seen,
heard and grounded.

I created Grounded Counselling Co. to offer women a warm, supportive space where they can slow down, speak openly and feel genuinely heard without judgement or pressure to have everything figured out.

Because sometimes, having a safe space to talk things through can be the first step towards feeling more like yourself again.

You deserve a space where you don't have to pretend you're okay.

Tilly, the counsellor behind Grounded Counselling Co.

Hello

Hi, I'm Tilly.

For the past 15 years, I've worked as a barista. I've spent countless hours making coffees and watching people come together over them, to talk, laugh, cry, catch up and sometimes simply sit with someone who makes life feel a little lighter.

Now, as I step into a new chapter as a counsellor, I'm bringing a little of that with me.

Grounded Counselling Co. was created from both my love of counselling and my love of the connection that happens over a cup of coffee. Here in Australia, coffee is so often part of how we connect. “Do you want to grab a coffee?” can be the beginning of some of our most meaningful conversations. I wanted counselling to carry some of that same warmth, a space that feels welcoming, comfortable and a little less intimidating when you take that first step.

My decision to become a counsellor also comes from a much more personal place.

I've experienced many seasons of change in my own life — relationships, divorce, parenting, pregnancy and loss, fertility struggles and IVF, as well as changing careers and figuring out who I am through it all. There have been times during those experiences when I felt incredibly alone. Looking back, I wish I'd had someone in my corner to lean on and walk alongside me while I found my way through.

That's why I created Grounded.

I wanted women to have somewhere they could be heard.

I'm a mum of three, with hopes of continuing to grow our family, a long-time barista, bodybuilder and now a counsellor. I don't have all the answers, and I don't expect you to either. What I can offer is a warm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what life looks like for you, the difficult parts, the changing parts and everything in between.

My hope is that when you finish a session with me, you close your laptop feeling a little lighter, heard and less alone than you did when you opened it.

You don't have to navigate every season of life by yourself.

Sometimes, it helps simply to have someone in your corner.
