Integrative Counselling with Shanna Choudhary

Shanna is a seasoned naturopath who has been seeing clients at Live Well in the naturopathy space for over a decade. Her curiosity and passion in exploring the intersections of biology, psychology, emotions and wellbeing, led Shanna to study counselling. Shanna attained her Graduate Diploma of Counselling at the University of Canberra (where she is currently completing her Master of Counselling), and is now offering counselling services in addition to her naturopathic practice here at Live Well..

Drawing from her naturopathic background, Shanna applies a holistic lens to her work, along with a person-centred, trauma-informed, and process-oriented approach.

Shanna’s warm and nurturing qualities complement her professional skill set, creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered on their wellbeing journeys.

Shanna offers both naturopathic and counselling appointments separately. However, she will bring her insight and understanding from both modalities into each session (naturopathy or counselling), enabling her to take into account how your biology, psychology, emotions, and wellbeing intersect, and to identify where and how you may be better-supported and the approaches that may be in the best service of you.

With the underpinning principle of ‘holism’, Shanna will meet you where you are and journey with you.

Naturopathically, Shanna will take a detailed health and wellness assessment and have a full discussion with you before providing a specific therapeutic pathway forward. To do this, Shanna applies a blend of evidence-based scientific knowledge with Traditional wisdom and approaches, and utilises a combination of Food as Medicine & Nutritional Therapy, Herbal Medicine, Emotional Freedom Technique ( EFT) meridian tapping, Craniosacral therapy, Lifestyle practices and Self-Care techniques e.g. meditation, mindfulness, breath, specific calming techniques (Touch for Health), and positive habit development to support the desired change, growth, and

outcome. Shanna views self-care and lifestyle practices as necessary ‘scaffolding’ for wellness, and these aspects form a major component of her naturopathic treatment plans, along with the appropriate education, support, and resources to help you to implement them.

Shanna is available for both in-person and telehealth appointments.
