Counselling - Life Coach & Hypnotherapy for Personal Growth in Gidgegannup

Hi, I'm Claire,

I’m the founder of Stillground Therapy. My work is grounded in compassion, lived experience, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek support.

​

My professional background spans over counselling, life coaching, hypnotherapy, community, and human services.

I have supported individuals navigating trauma, grief, mental health challenges, alcohol and drug concerns, and significant life transitions. My approach is person-centered, reflective, and tailored, because no two stories, and no two healing journeys, are the same.

​

Alongside my professional training, my personal experiences have deeply shaped the therapist I am today. I have lived through profound loss, including the suicide of my mother, being the sole carer for my father throughout his final stages of cancer, peacefully passing within his own home and bedroom, and the murder of my son’s father. I have also supported family and close friends through serious mental health challenges and addiction.

​

In addition, I have faced my own experiences of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and alcohol recovery. These chapters of my life are not shared for sympathy, but because they have strengthened my insight, humility, and respect for the complexity of healing. I understand firsthand how overwhelming life can feel, and how powerful steady support can be.

Because of this, I am able to sit with people in complex pain without judgement, fear, or the need to rush solutions. I know that healing is rarely linear. It requires safety, patience, accountability, and genuine human connection.

Stillground Therapy was created to offer a space where you can slow down, breathe, and feel truly heard. A space where growth is nurtured gently and resilience is strengthened over time.

​

Outside of my work, you’ll usually find me outdoors, kayaking at the lake, riding my bike, or working on my land. I also care for Weimaraner's while their owners are away, something that brings me great joy. Most importantly, I value time with my family, especially my grandchildren, who continually remind me of the importance of presence and connection.

​

I believe healing happens in environments that feel grounded, respectful, and human. My role is not to “fix” you, it is to walk beside you with professional skill, compassion, and steady support as you move toward clarity, strength, and meaningful change. 

 

Wishing you all the best on your journey of life🤍

Claire Ditchett
