Trauma-Sensitive Sound Therapy, Gong Therapy & Nervous System Support in Melbourne

Sound Therapy is a somatic, trauma-sensitive approach that uses vibration, frequency, and resonance to support the nervous system in returning to balance — and the body in feeling more at home within itself.

It can be offered as a standalone session or integrated alongside psychotherapy and other therapeutic work, and is particularly suited to those who find it difficult to access rest, regulation, or emotional processing through talk-based approaches alone.

 

About My Training & Experience

I hold a Diploma in Sound Therapy (Sound Healing Academy) and have trained extensively in Gong Therapy through years of 1:1 mentorship and direct experiential practice — developing a nuanced understanding of its emotional, physical, and psychological dimensions. My mentor was Paul Ford who is the owner of  

My work integrates sound therapy with trauma-informed psychotherapy, somatic approaches, and nervous system regulation, drawing on both clinical training and lived experience of this work.

 

What Is Sound Therapy?

Sound Therapy uses instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, and resonant frequency-based tools to support the body and mind in shifting out of stress states and into regulation.

It may support:

• nervous system regulation and relaxation

• stress reduction and emotional release

• grounding and body awareness

• integration of therapeutic or psychedelic experiences

• reduction of mental overwhelm and overthinking

Sound works through vibration and resonance, supporting the body's natural capacity to reorganise and settle.

 

Trauma-Sensitive Sound Therapy

This approach works with the whole system — emotional, psychological, and physiological — and is particularly supportive for people experiencing:

• chronic stress or burnout

• emotional suppression or overwhelm

• trauma-related activation

• anxiety or nervous system dysregulation

• physical tension held in the body

Rather than forcing change, this work supports the conditions for the nervous system to naturally regulate and restore itself. It can also complement psychotherapy by supporting integration between sessions.
