Hey there, my name is Bronte Purcell.
Hey there, my name is Bronte Purcell.
I am a Qualified Psychotherapist, Naturopath & Menstrual Educator.
I bring my lived experience and professional education into the work that I do. What truely shapes my knowledge as a therapist is my own mental health journey with anxiety & panic attacks in my late teens, years of receiving therapy in different psychotherapeutic modalities, silent meditation retreats, nature-based vision quests, embodiment workshops, and other personal initiations. I combine all of this rich knowledge with years of institutional study which I list in more detail below.
The work that I do is a body, mind & whole-being approach to well-being. There is an innate wisdom that exists within every living being, that is constantly working towards our survival, our healing, and our growth. Therefore, it is my role as a therapist & practitioner to work in collaboration with you so that you can reconnect to this wisdom.
As a psychotherapist, I create an explorative space built on safety, openness, curiosity, compassion and deep listening as I believe you are your own best teacher and I am here to offer guidance into your own truth. I meet you in the depths of your inner wildness, so that you can dissolve shame and welcome home the suppressed parts of yourself. We dance between all parts of you, so that you can discover more of who you really are and return to a sense of wholeness & humanness.
