Lilly Gonoratsky: Beyond Roots Counselling

Today I’m joined by someone whose work feels like asteadying hand on the shoulder—Lilly Gonoratsky from Beyond Roots Counselling. Lilly is a trauma‑informed therapist with extensive experience in EMDR and Somatic Therapy, and she brings a beautifully gentle, deeply informed presence to the healing process.Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and quietlypowerful. Lilly has a way of helping people reconnect with their bodies, their stories, and their inner resources without ever overwhelming them. Through EMDR, she supports clients in safely processing trauma and reshaping thepatterns that keep them stuck. And through somatic work, she helps them tune into the wisdom of the body—those subtle sensations and signals that often hold the key to real, lasting change.What I love about Lilly’s style is how accessible she makescomplex therapeutic concepts. She explains things with clarity and warmth, creating a space where people feel both informed and deeply cared for.I’m so excited to share this conversation with you.  Discover more about Lilly's work on her website:https://beyondrootscounselling.com/Be My GuestIf you’re interested in being a guest on Mental Health Matters: Voices of Change, please complete the form on my website - https://mindfulartstherapy.com.au/podcasts/ About Mindful Arts TherapyMindful Arts Therapy creates safe, empowering spaces wherecreativity becomes a pathway to healing.
