Meet Kimberlin
Clinical Counsellor and Psychotherapist
I live and work on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Willin Clan and Taugurung People.
Hi, I'm Kimberlin (she/her)
A therapist, dog mum of two, & founder of
Prana Therapy Co.
As a child of immigrant parents, my South Asian roots deeply shaped my path toward creating a practice that honoured the cultural, bodily, and systemic layers of lived experiences.
Working across both the public and private mental health sectors, I've witnessed how profoundly relational patterns and trauma can ripple outward across the lifespan. Drawing from my own identity as an Australian South Asian and my work with clients from diverse backgrounds, I recognise the intricacies of culture, migration, and intergenerational experience in shaping our sense of self and wellbeing. Having witnessed how systemic barriers, mental health stigmas, and familial expectations impact health, I am passionate and committed to liberation from oppressive structures and systems, offering a practice where you are truly seen, heard, and wholly welcomed.
With a completed Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy and clinical registration with PACFA, I have a particular interest in somatic processing, neuroaffirming practices, CALD communities and relational/developmental trauma. Based in Melbourne, I bridge practical, present-focused support with deep healing, honouring both your immediate needs and your body's story. Whether you are navigating racial or developmental trauma, life transitions, neurodiversity, or the heavy weights of burnout, and emotional overwhelm, our work together is tailored entirely to you.
I invite you to be curious and open to a therapeutic journey where you can explore, experiment and be playful knowing you in a space of safety, non-judgment and compassion.
New to therapy or returning for a new chapter, you will find a safe, supportive space here to foster deep resilience, lasting growth, and
My Values
Safety
Feeling secure is fundamental to therapy. My practice integrates physical, emotional, and cultural safety, offering a warm and supportive space for you to process your experiences at a comfortable pace for both your mind and body.
Integrity
I believe in transparent, honest care, grounded in the latest evidence-based treatments and ethical principles, to provide you with the highest standard of genuine therapy for your well-being.
Trust
I deeply respect the importance of trust from our very first session. I understand that past experiences where trust was broken can make it incredibly difficult to open up again. My authentic and clear approach is designed to gently facilitate its rebuilding within our therapeutic relationship.
Autonomy
You are the expert in your own life, and therapy reflects that. You lead the way, setting the pace and focus of our sessions, while I offer support and guidance. Your boundaries are paramount.
Cultivation of Equality
Recognising the importance of my own growth, I am committed to continuous learning and self-reflection about my biases, power, and privilege. This is fundamental to my culturally responsive and anti-oppressive practice, ensuring I honour your cultural beliefs, values, and experiences within your individual and collective narratives.
