Emerge Rooted, counselling in Victoria
Helping you integrate the past, present and future using contemporary evidence based therapies and ancient healing practices.
Healing and growth are not about erasing the past but about understanding and integrating our lived experiences. Life’s challenges often stem from complex interactions within ourselves and our environments. By exploring our thoughts, emotions, and visceral experiences we can uncover our root system to gain greater clarity and facilitate meaningful change.
Sometimes healing requires that we untangle long-held patterns— like people pleasing, perfectionism, or struggling to set boundaries so we can trust our inner wisdom, reconnect with our own voice, and express ourselves with greater ease.
Even welcomed changes— like becoming a partner or a parent, a shift in our career, or a move to a new community, can stir up complex emotions including grief for what’s ending and uncertainty about what’s next. Therapy provides an opportunity to make sense of these changes so we can shift into new roles and move forward confidently.
Providing individual and group therapy that is rooted, collaborative, and contextual.
Rooted
You already hold the wisdom you need to heal. Together, we’ll gently uncover what’s been buried or forgotten—so you can reconnect with your inner wisdom, align with your values, and engage with the parts of you that are ready to grow. Meaningful change begins with self-trust, deep care, and the courage to return to yourself.
Collaborative
You bring your insight and the truth of your lived experience. We provide warmth, presence, responsive care, and clinical skill— to facilitate a therapeutic process that is both deeply attuned and results driven. Together, we can shape a path that meets your personal needs.
Contextual
Healing and growth don’t exist outside of history, systems, or relationships. We explore the social, cultural, and relational layers of your experience— honouring the ways you’ve adapted and resisted, while supporting you to make changes that are rooted in the life you want to live.

Growth
"Healing is a process of reconnection—attuning to the parts of ourselves that have been silenced, overwhelmed, or rejected. At Emerge Rooted Counselling, we facilitate therapy as a collaborative practice that honours your lived experiences and accounts for the systems that shape it. Through curiosity and compassion, we guide healing, meaningful growth, and integration."
Scarlet Jaxen, Founder

Articles
A story of resistance runs parallel to every story of powerlessness. No matter how small or unseen, people always resist domination. Unfortunately, the treatment of trauma often neglects or misses this story entirely. In this article you’ll discover some of the gifts that come from unfolding the natural ways people navigate traumatic events.
