Our approach
The practice uses Somatic Psychotherapy, Core Energetics, and Integrative Body Mind Psychotherapy, working with both mind and body to help clients notice what happens in thoughts, emotions, and the nervous system under pressure. Sessions help you recognise moments when reactions take over—like arguments building, shutdown coming, or anxiety rising—and respond in a different way, with a focus on change rather than just explanation. The work is shaped by understanding the connection between emotion, physiology, and lived experience, and sessions take place in a warm, homely, non-judgmental setting designed to feel safe and supportive. Over time, clients often experience deeper understanding, personal growth, and lasting change in character and daily life.
Meet the team
The practice is run by Richard Boyd and Helena Boyd, both certified psychotherapists trained and specialised in Somatic Psychotherapy since 2005. Richard previously had a successful career in IT and business transformation consulting, while Helena worked as a software engineer for 13 years in Australia and Ireland. Both have been seeing clients for over 20 years and bring warm, compassionate, grounded personalities to their work. They are the only therapists in Perth who provide a complementary fusion of counselling, psychotherapy, and body psychotherapy, drawing from psychology, body-based practice, and integrative approaches rather than one-size-fits-all support.
Your first visit
At your first session, the therapist will discuss your presenting issues, query relevant parts of your history, and take initial steps in building a working relationship. They will help you uncover the underlying causes of your concerns and identify the best approaches to address and resolve your problems. Before the appointment, you'll receive detailed information via text including the date, time, address, parking, cost, and payment details, along with a reminder a couple of days before. The session runs for approximately 55–60 minutes in a confidential, supportive environment tailored to your emotional and psychological needs.
