Lived Experience Counselling
ABOUT ME.
My name is Sarah Humble, and I am an ACA Registered Counsellor based in Perth WA. My mission is to support women rediscover who they are after trauma, difficult relationships, addiction, and life's unexpected challenges. I am passionate about helping women to heal emotionally and rebuild confidence.
I know what it feels like to lose yourself while trying to survive.
Like many women I have experienced trauma, burnout, addiction, relationship breakdowns and betrayal. These experiences and the long journey of rebuilding my life have shaped the counsellor I have become.
Today, I combine professional counselling skills with genuine lived experience. My hope is that every woman who walks through my door feels she no longer has to carry everything alone.
The heart behind my work.
I do this work because I know what it feels like to lose yourself.
I know what it is like to believe you are broken, to question your own worth, and to stay in situations that slowly erode your confidence. I know what it is like to search for ways to numb emotional pain with food, alcohol and other distractions instead of facing it.
But I also know what waits on the other side of recovery: peace, freedom, self-respect, and a life that finally feels like your own.
That is why I am so passionate about this work.
You are worthy of healthy relationships, strong boundaries and genuine happiness.
My Approach.
I believe healing begins when we feel genuinely heard.
My counselling style is calm, grounded and practical. I won't tell you how to live your life or pretend to have all the answers. Instead, I offer a safe and supportive space where we can explore your experiences with honesty and compassion.
Together, we'll make sense of what's happened, identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and explore where those patterns began. As we build greater self-awareness, we'll also develop practical strategies to help you respond differently, strengthen your relationships, and create lasting change.
I believe meaningful healing comes from understanding both where we've been and where we want to go. My role is to walk alongside you as you rediscover your sense of self, and move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Together we can work towards:
Rebuilding confidence and self-worth
Healing from relationship trauma and unhealthy relationship patterns
Recognising and changing addictive or self-defeating patterns
Managing anxiety, overwhelm and life transitions
Developing healthier boundaries and communication
Rediscovering who you are beneath years of surviving
Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Sometimes the hardest step is simply asking for help.
My hope is that Still Heart Counselling offers a place where you feel safe to explore your story, understand yourself more deeply, and begin creating lasting change, one conversation at a time.
