Hi, my name is Taya Micola, I am a warm-hearted and compassionate counsellor and psychotherapist, based in the leafy inner city suburb of Tarragindi, Brisbane, Queensland. I use a unique blend of Counselling, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Kinesiology and EMDR to help you create positive change in your life.
Through personalised one-on-one sessions, I help you identify what underlying emotional patterns and/or beliefs are blocking your flow, and stopping you from achieving your true potential and happiness.
During our work together I'll recommend the approaches that best suit your goals, your personality and what feels comfortable for you. For some clients that's meaningful and powerful conversation. For others it's processing trauma through EMDR. For others Clinical Hypnotherapy provides another pathway to creating meaningful change, and sometimes Kinesiology helps uncover patterns that are difficult to access through words alone. Whatever we use, the focus is always the same: helping you understand yourself more deeply, feeling unburdened and creating meaningful change that is both FELT and is lasting.
Every session is tailored to you. Together we'll create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what's been happening in your life, better understand yourself, and begin making the changes you've been longing for Giving your mind and body the ability to heal and grow.
Taya offered me the help I’ve needed to make those shifts – helped me detach from those emotions and those thoughts which I was conditioned to accept and think.

I work with people from all walks of life– I would love to work with you!
In Person or Online?
When people think about personal healing, they often assume that meeting in person must be better. In reality, there is very little difference.
All you need is a comfortable, quiet space and a good pair of headphones. There's something wonderfully simple about having another person fully present with you—the opportunity to really talk, feel heard, and know you're being listened to without distraction. (This is especially helpful for my neuro-divergent clients).
It's amazing how quickly a heartfelt connection develops when you're able to focus on nothing but the conversation and the changes we create together. The vast majority of clients tell me they soon forget we're not sitting in the same room because the connection feels so natural and genuine.
I am extremely practiced at quickly creating safety and the connection required to address and uncover deeply held problems. Distance creates no barrier to the work you do with me and so there is zero difference to the efficacy of work between in-person or online.
