"I want to express my deepest gratitude for the wonderful advice, guidance and expertise you so generously shared with me around bereavement. As you know, I undertook a very hard journey to the UK from Sydney to support my best friend in her last few days of life, and her grieving family thereafter. Your advice was so perfect; just knowing what to do and to say and to have the practical tools, such as ensuring her children all wrote something to attach to her coffin and then creating a memory box and a garden in her memory, meant that I was prepared as I could be. It made the whole devastating experience so much richer and heartwarming as well as heartbreaking. I cannot really thank you enough and I hope that anyone facing any level of distress or trauma turns to you for advice."
Vicki Selwyn-Barnett
"Belinda Jane has been a significant part of allowing both myself and my wife (through managing tools) to be able to push through the trauma of (such) a tragedy and assist me to return to a mostly normal life.
A great deal of support has been given through provision of a balanced view from both a male and female perspective allowing my wife to understand issues that are specific to men often overlooked by a female councillor.
The understanding of this perspective means that discussions on any level can be put forward without fear or judgement and from here appropriate direction and guidance is offered in a non- threatening way.
This balanced view has also allowed us both to resume a happier relationship through a clearer understanding of each others needs albeit in conjunction with managing the pain of our joint loss.
While the instigation of our meeting was initially based on one specific issue, the process gave me greater understanding of the broader issues within my life."
Michael Steele, CEO
"Each patient I have referred to Belinda Jane has found her methods have produced positive life changing results. She encourages her clients to discover the cause of negative emotional pain and teaches simple strategies to overcome these issues.
Many have described the therapy as enlightening, liberating, healing and even powerful"
Julie Ellerton, Herbalist, Nutritionist and Iridologist
"My life changed for the better the day i met Belinda-Jane. The best part about it is that the path forward is totally in your hands, unlike a lot of other methods where you become reliant and dependant on the counsellor or coach. The journey Belinda Jane assists you through is empowering!
The biggest privilege has been to be a student of Belinda Jane and Elements of Life
Belinda-Jane is the most amazing practitioner because of her integrity and authenticity. She lives and breathes all that she passes onto you, what you see is what you get. There is no better role model or testimonial than seeing it in action in her own life."
Janine Botha
"Her framework is robust, her counselling skills are world-class, she connects deeply and is not afraid to challenge when that’s called for."
Paul Collings, Management Consultant
"Your input over the past 20 years on my family and business life has been instrumental to my happiness and success. I have come to understand the consequences of my action and intent on what occurs around me. We are not born with the tools to cope with life’s issues however challenging. Your ability to be at arm’s length on matters, giving advice that allows one to clear way the debris that clouds our mind, seeing clarity and simplicity."
John Pavasovic
"She (Belinda-Jane) has a wisdom that comes from her 20 years of practice and her own broad life experi- ences. I found her to be extremely focused on clear, agreed outcomes for my short course therapy."
"As a result of the course of therapy I undertook with Belinda-Jane I found myself with tools and life skills that I have continued to use over the long term. These key learnings are captured in Belinda-Jane’s “Elements of Life” 6 week course. She is now training other practitioners in these basic life skills. I strongly recommend Belinda-Jane as both a counsellor and a hypnotherapist."
Lisa O’brien, Chief Executive Officer, The Smith Family.

It has been my experience that over-diagnosis and prescribing may be the single most counter-productive and disempowering paradigm we experience.

The transition from wild woman to wise woman happens in moments from the inside; a vague haze, an emotional inability to express clearly, waves where nothing feels easy. There may be wakeful nights, severe profuse sweating, despair or a sense of foreboding. There is no...
