Sunitha Ramnarayan

I am a certified trauma, relationship, somatic therapist (registered to work to support ACC sensitive claims). I work with adolescents, 16+, adults, couples and families. I offer a compassionate, collaborative path to safety, healing and renewed connection with your Self, and your relationships. 

Counselling Services

I can help with trauma recovery (including sexual abuse), relationship conflicts,  sex issues (personal and relationships), anxiety, depression, low functioning, stuckness, resistance to change for good,  low self esteem, self harm recovery, and life transitions. I am interested in how our bodies, minds, souls and spirit all give wisdoms and healing. I use both body focused “bottom up” and cognitive methods “top down “ somatic/ body based therapy to integrate a fully inclusive healing journey.  My method of engagement in therapeutic relationships is deeply respectful of your own wisdoms and strengths, offering a collaboration where we learn from each other.

Counselling Approach

I blend compassion-based narrative therapy with both top down (cognitive, meaning- making) and bottom up (body-led somatic and emotion-regulation) methods. Therapy with me is strength based and person-centered: I respect your wisdom, help you make sense of protective patterns, and teach practical body-based and relational tools to restore safety, agency and rhythms of daily life, inviting resilience, hope, growth and flourishing.

Background and Experience

I bring clinical training in trauma, intimacy, safety and connectedness. I integrate science backed therapies and offer a wholistic, whole person experience through the head brain(mind), body brain(sensations), heart brain(feelings), spirit brain(connectedness to Big Reality). My own personal trauma healing journey informs a grounded, empathetic stance and practical skillset.
