What Energetics helps with

Individual Counselling

A talking-based support that helps people work through emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, grief, stress or mental health concerns. A counsellor listens without judgement and helps you develop coping strategies and a clearer sense of direction.

Couples Counselling

Therapy for couples experiencing relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns or major life transitions. A therapist helps partners understand each other's perspectives, improve communication and work toward a healthier, more connected relationship.

Family Therapy

Therapy that works with the whole family — or key members — to improve communication, resolve conflict and strengthen relationships. It recognises that difficulties often affect and are affected by family dynamics, and works on shared patterns rather than focusing on one individual alone.

Trauma and PTSD Support

Works carefully with trauma responses including panic, numbness, poor sleep, irritability, and effects of sexual abuse and overwhelming past experiences.

Grief and Loss Counselling

Specialised counselling to support individuals and families navigating bereavement, significant loss or life change. A therapist provides a safe space to process grief at whatever pace is needed and helps clients find meaning and a path forward.

Psychotherapy

A broad range of structured, evidence-based talking therapies delivered by a registered psychologist or therapist to address mental health and emotional wellbeing. Psychotherapy explores thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour to bring about lasting positive change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

A structured, evidence-based therapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is widely used for anxiety, depression, OCD and many other mental health challenges, and has strong evidence for both children and adults.

Somatic Psychotherapy

Body-based psychotherapy approach that addresses the connection between emotion, physiology, and lived experience.

Anger Management

Therapy and skills training to help children and adults understand and regulate strong feelings of anger. Sessions focus on identifying triggers, learning calming strategies and developing healthier ways to express frustration and resolve conflict.

Anxiety Counselling

Depression Counselling

Online Counselling

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.
