Hi, I’m Raina!

I’m the counsellor behind Warrior Within Counselling Support, and I believe there’s something pretty powerful about finally having a safe space to be witnessed.

I work with adults navigating the complexities of being human, from grief and anxiety to relationships, boundaries, self-worth and the patterns we find ourselves repeating. Sometimes, you might know exactly what’s troubling you. Other times, you might just know that something doesn’t feel right. Wherever you find yourself, my approach is about getting curious, looking at the why behind what you’re experiencing and working together to make sense of it.

My approach to counselling is person-centred, collaborative and grounded in the belief that you know yourself better than anyone else. I’ll bring curiosity, compassion, honest conversations and evidence-based strategies where they’re helpful. There’s room for the difficult stuff, the big realisations and even a laugh along the way. My role isn’t to tell you how to live your life, but to work alongside you as you find your own way forward.

Outside of counselling, I’m also a national road trauma ambassador with the Australian Road Safety Foundation, which is deeply meaningful to me and has shaped my appreciation for the complexities of grief, resilience and the experiences that change us.

At the heart of my work is a genuine appreciation for the human experience, in all its complexity. My hope is to help people feel more connected to themselves, confident in their own choices and empowered to create a life that feels right for them.

Wherever life takes you next, I hope you remember that you don't need to become someone else to find your way forward.
