Welcome to
Emerge Therapy
Quality Counselling on the South Coast
It’s nice to meet you……
You may be on the look out for an individual Counsellor who can provide a safe place for you to unpack what you need to…..
Maybe these thoughts resonate with you:
“I have been to counselling before but the Psychologist and it wasn’t for me…. it felt to clinical…..”
“I feel so overwhelmed….”
“I feel like I have lost myself…..”
“I put everyone first…. It’s hard to put in boundaries…..”
“I have these painful experiences that I can’t seem to get past….”
“I just want to find meaning and purpose….”
“I’m so anxious…..”
“I am just not sure how to manage my ADHD symptoms”
I am a Clinically Registered Counsellor who is passionate about assisting young people and adults with stress management, anxiety, depression, changing mindset, self-confidence, trauma and values based living…
I am a late diagnosed ADHDer and neurodivergent practitioner. I love connecting with other neurodivergent folk to help them navigate what could be explained at times as an often neurotypically-based world. I can often provide you with referrals to other services to seek assessment from Occupational Therapists, Assessments through private Psychologists and non-government organisations.

Hi I’m Shakira and owner of Emerge Therapy. Let me tell you a little about how I work…
Emerge Therapy provides quality mental health care and counselling services over the past six years (formerly in Wollongong and now located in Ulladulla). I am trained in a myriad of different approaches which can be tailored, depending on your individual needs. At Emerge Therapy, I believe that each person’s situation is incredibly unique as are your strengths and I want to empower you toward meaningful change. I work with your body (particularly your nervous system) to form new ways of soothing yourself.
The best part about it? You don’t need to go to your GP and get a referral as I don’t accept Mental Health Care plans. I have a Provider number for Medibank Private and AHM.
Providing you with a safe space to ease into therapy.
Shakira provides online counselling for those all around Australia and face to face counselling in the Ulladulla area.
“I knew from the very beginning she was different. She did not brush me or my experiences aside. It was a breath of fresh air”
