Hi, I’m JULIA MORRIS
I am a qualified Counsellor & member of the Australian Counselling Association. I have always been especially interested in the Brain (the most complex organ in the universe), how to look after it, and how to utilise it to it’s full potential. I really understand how hard life can be throughout different seasons in our lives. I have found my passion in learning how to manage and help improve mental health for anyone that I can.
My Approach
I like to take a holistic approach to my counselling. I am conscious we need to look at all factors in a person’s life to be able to tackle the problem correctly and adequately. I believe you cannot prescribe the correct therapy without a thorough analysis first. I believe mental health is also brain health and brain health is also gut health. How we look after our brain, body and soul all has a direct effect on how our mind feels.
YOUR BRAIN
Alcohol, drugs, smoking, toxic chemicals, additives, processed foods, sugar, pesticides, exposure to mould and and hitting your head, all physically harm the brain and therefore also your mental health but the good news is the brain can be rehabilitated.
The MIND & BODY CONNECTION
Your mental health is only as good as the physical organ’s health that you operate from; the brain. For the brain, (your mind) to function well it needs hydration, good quality nutrients, minerals and vitamins. It needs exercise, deep adequate sleep, connection, community, purpose, and new learnings.
