Blue Jay Counselling
When something feels off but you can't quite name it - and the things you've tried aren't shifting it, this is a place to start.
Relationship & Trauma Counselling for individuals and couples | Aberglasslyn, Hunter Valley & online across Australia.
Does this sound familiar?
You keep having the same argument with your partner and nothing resolves. Or you're snapping at the people closest to you and you don't know why. Maybe you're holding it together on the outside but something feels flat, heavy, or just off - and has for a while now. You've tried to talk it through, think it through, push through. You've read the books, blogs and listened to the podcasts... But something still isn't shifting.
That's usually because what's driving it isn't on the surface. The way you react in conflict, the things that trigger you, the distance you feel - most of that was shaped long before this relationship or this moment. In our work together, we slow things down and look at what's underneath. We don't dig up the past for the sake of it, we look at the full picture because when it starts to make sense, you stop being run by it.
People I work with start to notice changes in ordinary moments. They don't spiral for three days after a disagreement. They say what they need without shutting down. Things that used to derail them mentally or emotionally just don't affect them in the same way anymore. They feel like themselves again - and that changes everything around them too.
What working together looks like
Individual Therapy
You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in loops of thinking, or unsure why you keep ending up in the same place.
Maybe you're functioning fine on the outside but something still feels off.
Individual therapy is a space to slow things down and start making sense of what's driving it - not just what's happening, but why it keeps happening. From there, lasting change is possible.
Couples Therapy
You're having the same fight on repeat, or you've stopped fighting and just gone quiet. Either way, something between you has changed and you can't seem to get back to each other.
Couples therapy isn't about picking sides or figuring out who's wrong. It's about seeing the pattern you're both caught in - and learning how to step out of it together.
When that shifts, closeness and trust start to come back.
Eye Movement Therapy
Some experiences stay stuck in the body and mind long after they've passed.
You might not think about them often, but they still shape how you react, what you avoid, and how safe you feel.
EMIT is a gentle, structured approach that helps the brain and body process what hasn't fully settled.
People often feel lighter, less reactive, and more like themselves after just a few sessions.
Meet Skye Welbourne
I came to this work through my own experiences that changed how I understood myself, my relationships, and what healing actually looks like. That experience, and the therapy that helped me through it, is why I do this work. Not just from a textbook interest, but because I know what it's like to sit in that chair.
I don't believe people are broken and I don't believe in labelling someone and leaving them with a box to live inside. I believe people can change (even when it doesn't feel like it) and I've seen it happen over and over.
My approach is collaborative and honest. We work together to understand the patterns driving what you're experiencing, and then we shift them. Not just surface-level coping, but the deeper stuff that keeps pulling you back.
