Holistic Counselling in Adelaide

Holistic counselling is a powerful, integrative approach that supports mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. The Nurture Space, led by Niki Gelekis, provides holistic counselling services in Adelaide. It focuses on a personalised approach to treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. She believes that true healing can only be achieved when all aspects of an individual’s life are addressed, leading to comprehensive and long-lasting wellness.

What is Holistic Counselling?

Holistic counselling views the individual as a whole, incorporating the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. Commitment therapy plays a crucial role in integrating various modalities to support clients in overcoming mental health challenges. Rather than just alleviating symptoms, Niki Gelekis works to identify the root causes of issues, nurturing your overall well-being by using various therapeutic techniques—such as talk therapy, mindfulness practices, and stress management. Niki Gelekis provides a pathway for healing that touches all aspects of life.

Role of Self-Care in Adelaide Holistic Counselling



Self-care is a cornerstone of holistic counselling, vital in promoting overall well-being. It involves nurturing your physical, emotional, and spiritual health, empowering you to take control of your life and make positive changes. Here’s how self-care integrates into holistic counselling:


  • Physical Self-Care: This includes activities that support your physical health, such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate sleep. Caring for your body creates a strong foundation for mental and emotional well-being.
  • Emotional Self-Care: Practices like meditation, mindfulness, and journaling help manage emotions and reduce stress. These activities foster self-awareness and emotional resilience, enabling you to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
  • Spiritual Self-Care: Engaging in activities that nourish your spirit, such as prayer, yoga, or time in nature, can help you connect with a higher power or find inner peace. Spiritual self-care fosters a sense of purpose and fulfilment.


Incorporating self-care into your daily routine can strengthen your self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion. This holistic approach not only enhances your mental health but also contributes to a more fulfilling life and overall well-being.
