you are allowed to be a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously
Brianna Wiest
Welcome
Hi, I'm Jule (Dip.Couns. M.A.C.A Level 1, DipEdSt), I'm a fully registered and insured counsellor and a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). I have taken advanced study majors in Relationship Counselling & Conflict Resolution, Abuse Counselling, and Expressive Therapies and hold certificates in Trauma-Informed Care & Practice, Mindfulness in Therapy and Working with Mental Health. In addition, I completed 12 months of study with the IFS Institute to become an IFS-Informed counsellor in both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO) which are transformative psychotherapy frameworks that form the foundation of my approach to counselling.
From my healing to yours
My journey is founded from my own lived experience of navigating neurodivergence, grief, attachment, relational PTSD, and c-PTSD. My personal healing includes many years of unpacking and transforming long held patterns and beliefs, deconstructing identity and learning to deeply understand my core self.
These experiences, along with my professional counselling knowledge and skills inform my approaches. I take a non-pathologising view, with a grounded understanding of the fundamental differences and connectedness of what it means to be human. There is no ‘one’ right way, none of us are too broken or too much, we are simply the sum of our experiences so far.
My principles are holistic, meaning I integrate whole person techniques, cultivating a deeper connection between mind and body as a source of wisdom and healing. Through this lens, I help you explore your inner world, empowering you to create lasting change in your outer world in alignment with your true self.
If this resonates, I’d love to work with you.
Healing is a paradox
It is tears and laughter, dismantling and rebuilding, softening and releasing, falling and rising

-
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative approach that helps you understand and heal parts of yourself. It recognises that we are made up of multiple ‘parts’ each with their own beliefs, feelings and behaviours. By connecting and integrating these parts, IFS guides you back towards alignment with your true Self. This approach enables you to navigate your inner protective system, nurturing balance and growth in your emotional wellbeing.
-
Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO)
IFIO is a relationship-based approach from a foundation of IFS. The core idea is that by developing a deeper understanding of yourself you are able to build authentic, meaningful connections with others. IFIO encourages you to explore each other’s parts with curiosity, embrace vulnerability, communicate openly and create deeper connections built from a foundation of trust, empathy and mutual respect.
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is an approach to help you manage intense emotions, improve relationships and develop healthy coping strategies. Through a combination of mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills, DBT aims to build resilience, improve emotional stability and nurture balance.
-
Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT)
SFT is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on finding practical solutions to current challenges. It helps you to identify your strengths, resources and successes to build a vision for the future and create actionable steps towards your goals. It encourages a positive, future thinking mindset. This approach is particularly effective for those seeking a collaborative, future driven process.
-
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT is a mindfulness-based approach that helps you embrace your thoughts and feelings without judgement while committing to actions aligned with your values. It encourages you to anchor yourself in present-moment awareness whilst reducing focus on trying to control outcomes.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured approach that helps you identify and challenge negative thoughts, patterns and behaviours by exploring the connections between the distortions and the factual evidence for them. It can help you to learn to question your own stories and replace unhelpful processes with more balanced and realistic perspectives.
-
Somatic Awareness & Expression
Somatic approaches focus on the powerful connection between the mind and body. These techniques help you tune into your physical sensations through body scanning. Releasing tension and processing emotions stored in your body to facilitate healing on a deeper level.
-
Dream Therapy & Interpretation
Dream interpretation offers valuable insights into your subconscious mind, helping you uncover hidden emotions, issues and beliefs. Dream therapy takes this further using specialised techniques to reconstruct scenarios by consciously dreaming forward in real time.
-
Five Elements (TCM)
A concept within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) exploring how energy and emotions move through your body. Connecting emotional and physical health patterns and identifying imbalances to guide your healing and restore flow and harmony.
