In a world that’s moving faster than ever, more and more people are turning to online holistic counselling to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves—mind, body, and spirit. Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses solely on the mind, holistic counselling brings together various healing modalities to address the whole person.
Let’s explore what these services can look like and how they can help you on your journey to inner peace, emotional freedom, and empowered living.
🌿 What is Holistic Counselling?
At its core, holistic counselling combines conventional talk therapy with complementary tools that nurture emotional, physical, energetic, and spiritual well-being. The goal? To help you move through life’s challenges not just by understanding them—but by transforming them at the root level.
And with the flexibility of online sessions, this sacred, supportive space is now more accessible than ever—right from the comfort of your own home. Michele offers encrypted secure online sessions using COVIU, or you can have a phone call if you prefer.
💫 Energy Psychology
Energy psychology works with the body’s energy systems to gently release emotional imprints, shift limiting beliefs, and restore balance. One of the most powerful approaches in this realm is The Emotion Code.
🌀 The Emotion Code: Emotion Clearing + Heart-Wall Removal
Developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, the Emotion Code helps identify and release trapped emotions—energetic residues from past experiences that become stuck in the body and influence mood, behaviour, and even physical health.
In online sessions, practitioners, like Michele, use muscle testing (often by proxy) to locate these trapped emotions and clear them using intention, magnetic energy, and the governing meridian. Many clients report feeling lighter, freer, and more emotionally open—sometimes after just one session.
A key focus of this work is the Heart-Wall, a protective energetic shield the body builds around the heart after emotional pain or trauma. While helpful at the time, over the years it can block love, creativity, abundance, and connection. Releasing the Heart-Wall often leads to deep emotional healing and a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.
🔮 Intuitive Healing
Intuitive healing is where soul meets subtle energy. These sessions are highly personalized and guided by both practitioner insight and your own inner wisdom.
They may include:
- Chakra Clearing – Unblocking and balancing the body’s seven main energy centres to support emotional flow, clarity, vitality, and spiritual connection. A blocked chakra can show up as physical symptoms, emotional resistance, or mental fog. Clearing and rebalancing chakras online often involves guided visualizations, affirmations, and intuitive energy work.
- Aura Clearing – The aura, your energetic field, can accumulate stagnant or heavy energy over time—especially after stress, conflict, or emotional overwhelm. Through distance energy healing, visual scanning, and intention-based techniques, your counsellor Michele may guide you through cleansing and strengthening your aura to restore energetic harmony and boundaries.
- Chromotherapy (Colour Therapy) – This is the use of specific colours and light frequencies to support physical, emotional, and spiritual balance. Your counsellor Michele might suggest visualizing or meditating with particular colours during or after a session, or even use colour cards to harmonize your energy field. Each colour holds its own frequency and purpose—from calming blues to activating reds and heart-opening greens.
- Intuitive Guidance – You may also receive insights through soul inquiry that speak directly to what’s stirring in your subconscious. The goal isn’t to predict the future—but to align you more deeply with your truth, intuition, and path forward.
This kind of healing doesn’t follow a script—it follows energy. It’s often where the ‘magic’ happens as you clear energy imbalances, and your psychic weight starts to lift, which leads to your body being able to start healing. This applies to Emotion Code healing and Intuitive Healing (Energy Psychology).
🧘♀️ Mindfulness & Meditation
An online session may begin with a few minutes of mindful breathing or a short meditation to settle your nervous system and ground into the present moment. You may be guided to observe your thoughts without judgment, or return to the breath when emotions run high.
Over time, these mindfulness tools become part of your daily toolkit, helping you regulate stress, cultivate clarity, and stay anchored during life’s ups and downs.
🌼 Gratitude Practices
Gratitude isn’t just a feel-good trend—it’s a scientifically backed way to shift your perspective and increase joy. A holistic counsellor like Michele might guide you through gratitude journaling, daily reflection prompts, or reframing techniques to help you see the blessings in your challenges.
It’s about creating space for both the pain and the beauty—and honouring the full human experience.
🛁 Self-Care Support
Self-care goes beyond bubble baths and candles. Holistic counselling often includes helping you design a sustainable, nourishing self-care routine that supports your nervous system, your boundaries, and your energy.
This might include everything from sleep hygiene and digital detoxing, to movement rituals, creative expression, or simply saying no when needed.
🌬 Vagus Nerve Calming
The vagus nerve is the superhighway between your brain and body, playing a key role in stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation. Techniques like gentle breathwork, humming, cold exposure tips, or restorative yoga poses may be introduced to help you activate your parasympathetic nervous system.
Your counsellor Michele may guide you in real-time, helping you calm your system and shift from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest.
Your vagus nerve is one of the most important nerves in your body when it comes to regulating stress and emotional balance. It connects the brain to major organs like the heart, lungs, and gut—and it plays a key role in switching your body from “fight-or-flight” into “rest-and-restore.”
In holistic counselling, calming and toning the vagus nerve is often woven into sessions to help create a sense of internal safety and nervous system regulation. These are simple, gentle practices you can continue between sessions to support emotional resilience, trauma healing, and overall well-being. We have a free workbook with some listed for you at: Free Resources.
The beauty of vagus nerve work? It teaches your body that it’s safe to relax, to trust, and to open again.
🔍 Finding Your Purpose
One of the most transformative aspects of holistic counselling is the space it creates to ask big, soulful questions:
Who am I, really? What lights me up? What am I here to do?
Through values exploration, life visioning, somatic inquiry, and spiritual tools, you can begin to uncover your unique gifts and align your life with your purpose. You’re not just surviving—you’re creating a life that feels deeply meaningful.
Final Thoughts: Healing, Reimagined
Online holistic counselling isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s a dynamic, personalized, soul-nurturing experience that honours every part of you. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating a life transition, or simply feeling called to reconnect with your higher self—this work meets you where you are and helps you grow from there.
The most powerful part? You’re not just learning to cope. You’re remembering how to thrive.
