If you are a woman who wants to make changes, who is fed up with living within the internal restrictions that keep old patterns repeating over and over again, who wants to reclaim her life from her history and from the stories she has believed about herself, and who is ready to pull up her sleeves and do the work (but with gentleness and compassion), then you are in the right place! Whether you wish to tackle a sense of anxiety or depression, change your relationship with yourself and others, develop or expand your business, take a new career direction or connect more deeply with your true self and find your true path in the world, we can work together drawing on cutting edge techniques and time-tested methods to make these changes happen. I offer a variety of modalities, face-to-face in a consulting room, in nature or via zoom. Meeting usually for between 5 to 20 sessions in a ‘piece of work’, we will address the specific issues you have come to work on, whether that be healing the wounds of history, addressing repeating patterns that keep you stuck, or navigating obstacles in your business or personal life that keep you from achieving your goals. The frequency of our meetings will depend on what’s most useful for you, and can vary from weekly to every 3 months or so. Dr Kirstie Missenden’s books are currently full. If you would like to go on a waiting list, please reach out. https://www.drkirstiemissenden.com.au/practitioner-mentoring-supervision daily 0.75 2026-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6282eb7ca11e92740f019074/1667791198906-5FDZCIB16D5KGKI1XHXU/unsplash-image-Zyx1bK9mqmA.jpg https://www.drkirstiemissenden.com.au/my-services daily 0.75 2022-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6282eb7ca11e92740f019074/1653728633926-HG3ZUK6OGIDK2EYX6FL5/dr-kirstie-missenden-icon-training.png My Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6282eb7ca11e92740f019074/1653728602188-KC85FFH4A7XS5N6D209W/dr-kirstie-missenden-icon-mentoring.png My Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6282eb7ca11e92740f019074/1654568089327-Z08BDKKDH9S0UVB2ETI6/unsplash-image-9G1kXjqOq4U.jpg My Services https://www.drkirstiemissenden.com.au/get-in-touch daily 0.75 2023-04-13 https://www.drkirstiemissenden.com.au/my-approach daily 0.75 2022-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6282eb7ca11e92740f019074/e0e6ec89-999a-4d5e-ae2d-8b17d98c3130/insect-poster-and-yellow-armchair-dr-kirstie-missenden-psychology.jpg My Approach - Psychology Modern, scientifically proven psychological methods, techniques and theories of mind. Such approaches include those below, with a link to information: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) EMDR Psychoeducation - We will also explore information about the nervous system, trauma and attachment and how this relates to the issues for which you’ve sought support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6282eb7ca11e92740f019074/9e4ba6db-9769-4d3e-bf6f-cf86c276d5fe/unsplash-image-xMNel_otvWs.jpg My Approach - Somatic Approaches Body focussed approaches (not necessarily using touch), in line with cutting-edge developments in the trauma field. Such approaches appreciate that our bodies contain and ‘hold’ our brightest light and our deepest shadows, the joy and the traumas, the physical and psychic imprints of our experiences and our truest potential. Examples are: Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy (SFIS) Somatic Experiencing (SE) iRest Relaxation Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6282eb7ca11e92740f019074/1654600298069-JJTT13GOCQ97UU7RWF7V/unsplash-image-AIklyC7dudQ.jpg My Approach - Eco Psychology / Earth-Based Practices Modalities, drawing on approaches used for thousands of years across the globe, likely by our own ancestors, in connection with the Earth, and greater forces in the Universe and our own spiritual life. These approaches are now researched within a modern scientific framework, and rising in popularity as we begin to recognise the damage our societal separation from nature and our selves has had on us as individuals and communities. Such an approach might include supporting you to develop a meditation or Mindfulness practice or spiritual practices or rituals, associated with your own beliefs. It may include developing nature-connection practices, as well as those that support an understanding of our own inner landscape and how that comes to be represented in our outer worlds. Methods may include: Mindfulness meditation Nature Based Therapies Shadow / Identity Work https://www.drkirstiemissenden.com.au/personal-mentoring daily 0.75 2022-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6282eb7ca11e92740f019074/1654576792196-8YU4QR4BV2MU0XESTGV9/unsplash-image-ktPKyUs3Qjs.jpg Personal Mentoring - Personal Mentoring A space for personal and professional growth Whether you want to grow and develop a business idea, reach a personal goal, or connect more deeply with your True Self, we can work together via mentoring sessions to support you in reaching your potential and living your true purpose. Perhaps you’re dissatisfied, bored or burnt out in your current work or relationship, or you have a new idea but find that you keep hitting road blocks and limits, or your current career is not in line with your true purpose and you want support to take the leap and face the challenge. What might this look like? Individual Mentoring – via one-to-one sessions, in person or via Zoom, we will draw on modern and traditional techniques to address inner barriers to change, any self-limiting beliefs, emotions or patterns that might hold you back from living a life you love, personally, professionally or relationally. Mentoring package – together with my colleague, Claire Gallagher, an expert in the field of change management, branding and business coaching, we offer packages of support that address all angles of business/ career change or development. From addressing limiting personal beliefs and patterns to developing your target market or marketing strategy, we support you in achieving the results you want, and taking your true purpose in to the world to shine. These packages include ‘personal-focussed’ mentoring sessions with me and ‘business-focussed’ sessions with Claire, accessed and paced on a time-line that makes sense to you and your needs. Fees: Individual Session fee is $220 per 50-60 minute session. Package Option $2100 for 5/5 package (5 sessions with Kirstie and 5 with Claire) https://www.drkirstiemissenden.com.au/group-sessions daily 0.75 2022-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6282eb7ca11e92740f019074/1654576961026-HVO0GAJZW3EC56LKJF6X/unsplash-image-Zyx1bK9mqmA.jpg Group Sessions - Group Sessions We humans are wired to live and co-operate with each other in groups – one of the reasons for our success as a species. However, our modern world, though more connected via technology, can leave us feeling more disconnected than ever before in our history, especially with the influence of global pandemics! Group circles have been used for millennia by our ancestors across the globe, symbolising unity and the equality of all. Group work and circles then can touch something deep inside us, encouraging a sense of belonging, allowing the de-shaming of our human experience, in supporting us to see that we all experience the same kinds of emotions, thoughts and beliefs, even if our journeys have been different. Groups and Circles can help us connect with a sense of oneness and commonality, as well as supporting us in identifying and nurturing our unique contribution to the world. Keep an eye out for the next group dates. https://www.drkirstiemissenden.com.au/fees-and-rebates daily 0.75 2022-06-07
