Trauma-Informed Astrology Holistic Mentoring for Personal Growth
Psychological Astrology, Compassionate Inquiry, and Spiritual Psychology to support your personal evolution, emotional clarity and life transitions.
Why Trauma Informed Astrology Holistic Mentoring?
Holistic Mentoring means we take a 360 approach of including both your ‘human’ and ‘spiritual’ aspects in the mentoring. I include astrology as well as therapeutic aspects in sessions, but also somatic based practices, plus I can share advice with you - which in traditional therapy is discouraged. It also blends therapeutic elements with coaching elements, and we flow between both depending on your goals and intentions.
Including Astrology provides unique psychological insight for each of us, especially during life transitions. It can be a map of sorts, both into who you are as a person, as well as your personal journey through life. Using your astrology chart as a base, provides a rich starting ground for questions and insights, about where you’re at and where you are heading (that often in traditional therapy can take a much longer time to unearth). This can be so helpful for emotional healing and wanting to gain clarity.
Psychological Astrology is increasing in popularity for this reason. It moves away from the fortune telling side of astrology, and allows a much deeper inquiry into your potential, your own hero’s journey, and the chapter you’re in at the moment. Your chart may present themes, but within every transit there’s opportunities in ‘HOW’ you face it. This is how I see trauma-informed astrology as we can explore shadow sides of any expressions in the chart and truly try to understand them, and realise that when compassion and understanding is brought to these shadow parts, they can then begin to have less of hold over us.
Trauma informed work is incredibly useful at compassionately inquiring about patterns, thought process, and self limiting behaviours that may have been holding you back. A particular transit could be providing the environment for things to come up to be processed for you to do this work - this is where Trauma Informed Astrology Holistic Mentoring really comes into it’s own and all the pieces come together for you.
The holistic mentoring sessions I offer create an environment where you can explore different aspects of yourself both from a Personal Growth perspective and a Spiritual perspective using your Astrology Chart as a base to work with and reflect on.
The more we can process the unconscious past and create new perspectives, the more we can lean into our future dreams and goals as we move through life transitions.
I work with a ‘human + being’ approach - helping to work through the wounds and limiting aspects of the human and uncovering the limitless potential of creativity and intuition from the being. In this sense it’s a balance of trauma-informed work and spiritual psychology to understand and transform things like self limiting beliefs.
I incorporate the wisdom of spiritual traditions, the principles and philosophies to change our perspective on how we live our life, with trauma informed somatic practices, subconscious reprogramming and astrology.
The Trauma Informed Astrology Holistic Mentoring Process
Many of us reach points in our life where we feel stuck or we feel at a cross roads or a life transition point. Sometimes we can feel a big change coming, but we’re not sure how to handle it. Sometimes it’s having a spiritual awakening, and not knowing how to ground that energy or access our deepest self when we want to. Or being stuck in the same rut and patterns of self limiting beliefs. Or feeling like we’ve lost track of who we really are, the inner compass of our intuition, and why we’re here…
Over my many years of being on my own journey and helping others I use a triple layered approach in my mentoring and generally sessions will weave between these three areas depending on your individual needs and what’s coming up for you.
Trauma Informed Compassionate Inquiry Therapeutic Approach to understand where current day triggers and self limiting beliefs may come from - when we go to the root we can create an alchemical change.
Spiritual Philosophy, Meditation and Yoga Nidra to help you access your deepest most self. Whether you call this your essence or your being or soul, having a relationship with this part of your and being able to identify with it and your individual way to connect is essential for everyone.
Astrology synthesis that can help to identify your greatest gifts and give you clues as to what talents lie within you and how you can begin to cultivate them further to live out a life where you feel your reaching your potential. It’s also useful to see what challenges and opportunities are in season for us as individuals right now.
Who Is Mentoring For?
Here are some of the things I’ve helped others work through, but ultimately your sessions will be very unique to…
Creating solid boundaries and work in a gentle but empowering way and through that alignment was offered their ideal working situation rather than having more hours forced upon them.
Feeling more authentic in relationships and being able to find a true "soul-voice" coherence with what they truly wanted to express for the first time.
Resolving years of self doubt and not feeling worthy
Moving through anxiety and finding deeper meaning in life.
In a ‘life transitions’ eg. busy mums or a few people fresh from relationship breakups feeling like they've really 'found themselves' again after feeling like they didn't know who they were anymore.
Finding real peace and tranquility and through bespoke meditations finding this practice their new necessity rather than a luxury as they are really feeling the benefits.
Being able to sit and process difficult emotions or cravings and work through things like food addictions or reducing alcohol to zero.
Working through deep self limiting beliefs, understanding their root cause and working with different tools such including some that create neuroplasticity
choosing to leave alcohol and recreational drugs behind, and come into a state of increased clarity within yourself and let go of things no longer serving you and come into a really nurturing and supportive space.
realised that you’re life is lacking a deeper meaning and purpose, and want to bring that back to the forefront
spiritually curious and want to delve WAY deeper
“These sessions are really about reclaiming ALL parts of you so you can feel like a clear vessel to reach your highest potential.”

Mentoring FAQs
-
Traditional astrology often focuses on prediction or personality descriptions.
My approach is different. It weaves psychological astrology with trauma-aware principles like Compassionate Inquiry, which means we use your chart as a map for reflection about the ways you think, feel and behave and your personal growth. Astrology is never fixed, meaning that within every planet and sign it can be expressed in a spectrum of ways from shadow sides to healthy embodied sides. Very often we are all fine tuning and learning within the themes in our chart to evolve towards the highest expression possible.Rather than “telling your future,” this work helps you recognise the deeper stories shaping your life, the seasons you’re moving through, and what’s being asked of you on a soul level.
-
The short answer is No. I feel this is a more modern approach that blends therapeutic elements but we also use somatic techniques plus the astrology and often lean into your siriutal beliefs. So to be clear I’m not a clinical therapist or counsellor.
My work blends Psychological Astrology, Spiritual Psychology, and trauma-informed Compassionate Inquiry (trained with Dr. Gabor Maté). -
After the initial 90min astrology reading, we meet for ongoing mentoring sessions help you:
integrate the insights from your chart
explore emotional or relational patterns
process what’s shifting
find clarity around decisions, transitions, and next steps
The work becomes more personal, spacious, and tailored to you. These sessions are client led by you, so it can be about whatever is arising in life right now, looking at triggers, patterns etc all with reference of your astrology chart and transits as they take place.
-
My background is in meditation, yoga nidra, and spiritual psychology, so sessions naturally include elements like grounding practices, somatic awareness, and inner inquiry.
It’s not about needing to believe in anything that doesn’t resonate with you. I always checkin with your spiritual beliefs and the language you like you use so things can be tailored for you.
-
This work tends to resonate with people who are:
moving through major life transitions
navigating identity shifts (career, relationships, Saturn Return, midlife transits, etc.)
spiritually curious and craving deeper self-understanding
feeling stretched emotionally and wanting grounded support
wanting a blend of astrology insight + compassionate psychological inquiry
If you’re in a season of growth, uncertainty, or inner change, this space is created for that.
A 90min Astrology Reading is wonderful, but limited with how to then integrate that information going forward. These sessions give time to really work with the astrology in real life, so it’s more than just information, but a real embodiment.
