Are you feeling overwhelmed by parenting right now?
Does it feel like you’re trying your best, but still struggling?
Are big emotions taking over at home — for you or your child?
Welcome to The Counselling Spot NT
Darwin, NT and Online Australia-wide.
Hi there!
I’m Loveena Davies — a counsellor, former teacher, and mother — and my work sits at the intersection of emotional wellbeing, child development, and real-life parenting.
Motherhood changed me deeply. After many years, when I finally became pregnant, it brought both joy and vulnerability. Parenting opened parts of me I didn’t expect — emotionally, physically, and mentally — and it challenged my sense of identity, regulation, and confidence in ways no professional training ever could.
Like many parents, I discovered that loving your child doesn’t automatically make parenting feel calm or easy. It can bring anxiety, overwhelm, old wounds, and a constant questioning of whether you’re “doing it right.” That lived experience shapes the way I work every day.
My Approach
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over 13 years working in education, including classroom teaching, special education, and youth work. Over time, I became less interested in managing behaviour and more interested in understanding what sits underneath it — emotions, nervous systems, attachment, and lived experience.
As a counsellor, I now support parents, children, and adults who are navigating big emotions, stress, trauma, life transitions, and the complexities that come with parenting and caregiving. My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and grounded in connection. I don’t believe in quick fixes, judgement, or telling people what they “should” do.
I believe parents need support just as much as children do. When parents feel safe, regulated, and understood, everything else begins to shift.
In my work, I aim to offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and feel genuinely heard — without pressure to have it all together.
You don’t need to be perfect to be a good parent.
You just need support, understanding, and space to breathe.

I'd like to begin by acknowledging the Larrakia people, the Traditional Owners of the land on which we are work on . I pay my respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
