hollie wildëthorn is a psychotherapist, clinical counsellor, and educator working with trauma, embodiment, rhythm and relational ways of living and healing. This work sits at the intersections of depth psychology, nervous system awareness, land-based wisdom and cyclical models of change, supporting people to reconnect with inner authority, embodied knowing and meaningful rhythm in their lives.

hollie is particularly interested in work that honours complexity rather than quick solutions, and that recognises how trauma, culture, history and place shape the ways we think, feel and relate. the institute for self crafting approach is non-pathologising, non-linear and grounded in the understanding that healing and becoming are processes of relationship rather than correction.

hollie lives and works on Walbunja Yuin Country in regional NSW. Her teaching and practice are informed by land, season and the acknowledgement that the language and systems she works within are inherited rather than neutral. Attending to power, context and humility is an ongoing part of practice.

in 2026, hollie chose to write her name in lowercase as a conscious language practice, reflecting an intention to soften hierarchy, refuse monument-building and speak with greater care within an inherited, colonised tongue.
