You don't need
to arrive ready.

Counselling, breathwork, and somatic coaching for women who've tried the loud version of wellness. This is the quiet one.

The Practice

A quiet room.
A real conversation.

You've done the apps. The retreats. The 12-week programmes with daily affirmations and accountability check-ins. And some of it helped, for a while. But you're here because something underneath hasn't shifted.

Bloom is a solo practice run by Sarah Chen, a registered counsellor and somatic practitioner based in Nedlands. Sessions are fifty minutes. Most of them are quiet. There's no programme to complete, no package to buy, no transformation to perform.

The work is slow, and it's private. That's the point.

Services

What we offer.

Every session is one-on-one. There are no group programmes, no waiting rooms full of people, and no pressure to move faster than you're ready to.

Counselling
50 min
Individual talk therapy. Trauma-informed, person-centred. We start where you are, not where a workbook says you should be.

Breathwork
50 min
Guided breathing practices for anxiety, regulation, and release. Not the kind where someone yells at you to breathe harder.
Learn more →
Somatic Coaching
50 min
Your body remembers what your mind has archived. Somatic work helps you access and release what's been held.
Learn more →

Somatic Work

The body holds what
the mind won't say.

Most of what we carry doesn't live in our thoughts — it lives in our shoulders, our jaw, our chest. Somatic coaching helps you notice where you're holding, and gently, at your own pace, release it.

Sessions are guided but never forced. You stay clothed, seated or standing. We work with breath, awareness, and micro-movements. Some sessions feel like very little happened. Those are often the ones that shift the most.

Gentle, body-based techniques
No physical contact required
Works alongside talk therapy
For chronic stress, burnout, and emotional holding
Suitable for trauma survivors
Sessions move at your pace, not ours
Kind Words

What clients say.

"I'd been seeing therapists on and off for years. Bloom was the first time I felt like I could just be in the room without having to perform being okay."
Sarah
"The breathwork surprised me. I went in sceptical and left understanding something about my body I've been ignoring for a decade."
Elena
"I don't know how to describe what changed. I just know that after six months, I sleep through the night and I've stopped apologising for taking up space."
Jessica
Bloom Wellbeing practice
The Space

A quiet room off the highway.

The practice is at 42 Stirling Highway, Nedlands — a quiet room off the main corridor with natural light, a good chair, and nothing on the walls that's trying to inspire you.

Street parking is free along Stirling Highway. There's a back entrance if you prefer it. The room is warm in winter and cool in summer. It smells like nothing in particular, which is deliberate.

Questions

Before you book.

What should I expect in a first session?
We talk. Or we don't, and that's fine too. The first session is about getting comfortable in the room and helping me understand what brought you here. There's no intake form to fill out beforehand.
What's the difference between the services?
Counselling is talk-based. Breathwork and somatic coaching are body-based. Nervous system regulation draws on both. Most clients try one and adjust as they go. We'll work out what fits.
Do you offer packages or programmes?
No. Sessions are booked individually. Some clients come weekly, some fortnightly, some when they need to. There's no minimum commitment.
Are sessions covered by health funds?
Counselling sessions may be covered under your extras or via a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP. Breathwork and somatic sessions are not currently covered. Ask your fund directly.
