Find Grounding,
Clarity, and Connection

Hello, my name is Karla,

I am a counsellor and therapist behind Your Storylines Therapy, accredited member of NCPS.

 

​​​You don't need to have everything figured out to start therapy.​​​

 

I offer trauma-informed, holistic support that works with both the mind and the nervous system, helping you feel more regulated, safer in your body, and clearer in your life. This can be especially supportive if you've been living with chronic stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or the after-effects of difficult relationships.

15-minutes Phone Call Consultation

A calm place to explore what support feels right for you.

Discover Yourself

My work draws from

counselling, person-centred approaches, Internal Family Systems(IFS), and embodied practices

influenced by

yoga therapy and somatic awareness

This means we gently explore what's happening for you - in your thoughts, emotions, and body - always at your pace, with consent and respect. 

When Life Has Taught You To Stay Strong

You may be used to coping quietly. Holding things together. Functioning on the outside while feeling tense, tired, or disconnected on the inside. Therapy here is not about fixing you-it's about creating enough safety for you to soften, breathe, and begin listening to what your system has been trying to say.

There is not right way to be. No pressure to perform. No need to explain everything perfectly. Just space where your story, your body, and your pace are respected.

​​

If you have been carrying a lot on your own, you don't have to anymore.

What Makes This Different

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in their heads or overwhelmed in their bodies. Here, we work with both.

​

You will find:

  • trauma-informed practice that respects nervous system regulation

  • therapeutic exploration with body-awareness and grounding

  • a non-judgmental, culturally aware space

  • support for real life stress, anxiety, and transition

​How This Work Helps

Through our work together, you may begin to:

  • feel calmer and more centred in your body

  • make sense of anxious thoughts and patterns

  • build self-trust and confidence

  • reconnect with your own needs and priorities

  • ​feel less reactive and more purposeful in life​

Whether we work online, in person, or outdoors, the focus is on your experience, your pace, and what feels safe and supportive for you.

CLIENT STORIES

“Attending counselling has been one of the most valuable investments I've ever made in myself and that wouldn't have been possible without space Karla enables. Karla is very understanding, asks perceptive questions and generally makes me feel comfortable to talk about anything, I cannot recommend her enough”

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness
will we discover the infinite power of our light
