Approach

"We’re all just walking each other home."

- Ram Dass

Mountain for Hilary Austin Psychotherapy

My task as I see it as a consulting supervisor & psychotherapist, is to continue learning about the mind and the human condition, in order to walk with others on their discovery and creation of their own particular path, supporting one’s development as a leader & as a person.

Through the passage of mid-life, and in my years working with addictions, it became apparent that human suffering requires a framework of meaning if we are to find peace. Broadening my training to explore trauma responsive leadership, Eastern practices of meditation, yoga, dream work, evolutionary astrology, and hypnotherapy, has added a depth and frame for the exploration of this mystery we are all part of.

Clinically I have trained in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Existential Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, & in recent years completed an Object Relations informed Infant Observation study, while investing in ongoing learning through psychoanalytic supervision, & indigenous coaching. I draw upon a wide range of evidence-based interventions within the context of the psychodynamic relational model.
