Soul-centred psychotherapist & psychosomatic therapist |
Connect your mind and body so you can live a meaningful life.
Overcoming your fears and living the life you deserve.
Tune in and trust your instincts.
Soul-centred therapies can help you process pain, connect to your body, and live a more meaningful life.
You weren’t meant to do it alone.
We all have times when we feel like we’re failing.
We all have times when we get stuck.
We all hit roadblocks.
The important thing is to reach out for help before you reach breaking point.
Take steps towards the life you want.
The first step is often the hardest. It takes courage to begin a therapy journey. And while it’s not the easy path, it is a rewarding one.
Through a therapy process you can grow to understand and love yourself more, so you can live a more aligned life.
Hi! I’m Sharon Barak Kanor, a qualified Soul-Centred Psychotherapist and Psychosomatic Therapist.
I offer a range of therapies to help individuals overcome challenges and connect to their deeper selves.
My mission is to move people from feeling like they’re failing to knowing there is nothing to fix. From being stuck in habitual thoughts to becoming aware.
From being caught up in the mind to being grounded in the body and able to be present in the moment.
How I work
I offer a therapeutic approach works with what’s going on now in your life so you can feel seen, heard, and understood.
We access information stored in the body and the unconscious to release old patterns, rewire thought patterns, and build new belief systems.
This process is client-centred, which means I tailor a rich mix of methods and modalities to suit your needs and preferences.
The intention is to empower you to choose what’s right for you.
Sometimes we can work against ourselves. We say we want one thing, but we do another.
These therapies allow us to align our minds and bodies to achieve change.
No need to numb. No need to run. Learn to sit with your feelings.
You choose what feels right.
In addition to talking therapy, any of the following techniques can be tailored to you:
• Mindfulness
• Tapping
• Muscle testing
• Trance
• Expressive therapies
• Bi-lateral stimulation processing
• Myth, metaphor & story
• Emotional anatomy
• Psychosomatic therapy
• Chakra system and mind-body connection
What defines us?
Is it what we do? How we act? Our choices?
We create identities to keep ourselves safe, but they can also keep us stuck.
We see the world as we are, through our own lens.
I went on a journey to unpick all this.
I learned to see myself for the truth of who I am.
This was a process of healing and returning to myself. So now, I can be intentional about what I pass to my children and the next generation.
I learned that I have made mistakes, but I am not a mistake. Everything that happens brings me the opportunity to get to know and support myself more.
Everyone is on their own journey and should follow their own path.
Love and wholeness is not a feeling, it’s a commitment. A commitment to meet ourselves where we’re at and to make loving choices.
We can learn to build a conscious relationship with parts of ourselves. To connect to our own divinity and a greater holding.
When we have a greater understanding of our patterns and our belief systems, we can move towards new choices and beliefs.
My Qualifications
I completed my studies with Soul-Centred Psychotherapy in 2022 at the Kairos Centre and am currently building up 200 hours of practice. I finished training at the Psychosomatic Therapy College in 2020.
Three years of training to become a soul-centred psychotherapist has given me some incredibly important life skills.
Realisations about myself, my unconscious mind, my body, and how it has been shaped by my lived experience.
I’ve learned how to accept and be the unknown. To sit with uncomfortable feelings, knowing they are part of the human experience.
I’m not perfect. No one is. But thanks to therapy my life is rich with meaning, and I have the skills to weather whatever comes next. And I’m ready to share these tools with you.
These therapies make it possible to:
• Learn to advocate for yourself.
• Achieve things that previously seemed out of reach.
• Be more present to your family.
• Create deeper connections.
• Sit with discomfort.
• Connect to both body and mind.
What is Soul-Centred Psychotherapy?
Soul-Centred Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that developed out of 30 years of research and experience in psychotherapy practice.
Soul-Centred Psychotherapy is a member of The Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). PACFA is a leading national peak body for the counselling and psychotherapy profession.
It offers a range of forms of therapy that address the whole human experience. This focuses on relationships, mindfulness, attention, lived experience, meaning, honouring, myth and enchantment.
What is Psychosomatic Therapy?
Psychosomatic therapy seeks to bring awareness to the body-mind connection. It explores masculine and feminine aspects, the chakra system, and teaches empowering life skills.
A lifetime of experiences creates a cellular memory in our body, behaviours, attitudes, and beliefs. These affect the mental, emotional, and physical structure of the body and how it responds.
This therapy develops the relationship between the body and mind to release discomfort and overcome blockages. It leads to an expression of the soul, greater conscious understanding, free choice and a sense of fulfilment.
My backstory
Trigger warning: miscarriage
My path towards becoming a therapist began in 2012 following multiple miscarriages. My fourth pregnancy ended with early labour and loss.
Art therapy was my way of processing the losses and opening myself up to a fifth pregnancy, that would result in the birth of my eldest son.
The losses were both the wound and the gift.
The losses led me to a decade of learning and growing. To become a loving and present mother to three children.
Once I saw the benefits of therapy, it lit a fire in me, and I knew it was something I wanted to devote myself to.
Life as a sensitive person
As a teenager, I thought I was too sensitive and intuitive. So, I became an expert in self-defence, even teaching Self-Defence in schools and as part of national service. Only later did I wonder why I needed a hard shell to feel safe.
As a young adult, I raised funds for an animal protection organisation. I studied agriculture and managed citrus orchards in Israel. Later I imported and marketed the produce in Australia. Then I began my journey towards motherhood.
At the heart of my journey has been a question:
How do we protect ourselves and others?
Learning to care for ourselves is an ongoing practice.
Take steps towards the life you want.
