About The Pause Practice

Hi, I'm Manya - an ACA Registered Counsellor and the founder of The Pause Practice.

The Pause Practice was created from a belief that everyone deserves a space to slow down, feel heard, and make sense of life's challenges without judgement.

Working primarily with adolescents, young adults, and adults, I support people navigating anxiety, stress, emotional wellbeing, relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, and the many complexities that come with being human.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and person-centred. I believe counselling should feel like a genuine conversation, one where you feel safe to explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to move forward with confidence.

At The Pause Practice, there is no expectation to have everything figured out before reaching out. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, lost, or simply looking for support, counselling can offer a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

I'm so glad you're here.
