Stillwild comes from the belief that healing means rediscovering two things: the stillness that steadies you, and the wild spark that helps you feel more like yourself again.
Our Approach
Therapy that’s steady, practical, and a little outdoorsy.
Stillwild Therapy offers counselling for women and girls aged 12+ on the Central Coast of NSW, online, in-room in Wyong, or outdoors at Norah Head. Sessions are collaborative, paced, and focused on what feels manageable between now and your next appointment.
What we focus on
Feeling safer in your body and day-to-day
Calming overwhelm and big emotions
Boundaries and relationship patterns
Recovery from trauma, stress, and life changes
How we work
Safety first: we start small, set goals together, and check in often
Nervous system aware: grounding, breath, and simple body-based tools, with no pressure to share everything at once
Nature where it helps: walk-and-talk or seated outdoor sessions when appropriate
Real-life fit: strategies you can actually use in everyday life

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
