Her upmost strengths lie in relationship coaching and trauma-informed work, with a reputation for helping clients break through entrenched patterns quickly.
She brings a calm, grounded presence to clients navigating trauma, identity, and relational patterns and is known for her ability to gently dismantle old dynamics and build connection in their place. She is kind and caring and her genuine and supportive nature helps clients to immediately relax in her company.
With great instincts and a real gift with people, Prianka is not only a highly qualified and experienced counsellor, she is able to impact clients in ways that facilitates change quickly, whilst also working at an unrushed pace. She maintains a gentle and supportive relationship and creates lasting bonds with clients and has a solid reputation of creating lasting positive change in her clients.

A wife and mother of 3, Prianka was also a daughter of divorce and experienced a range of difficult struggles earlier in life. These have resulted in a deep understanding of people, emotions and pain that has expanded her empathy, developed wisdom and taught her to trust in her clients to overcome pain and find the light on the other side of their darkest moments. Prianka's empathy and warmth in sitting alongside those in pain while gently guiding them is unmatched by most, and as such, she has earned the deep trust of her clients - and of Tracey-Leigh.
Karleigh Phillips
Relationship & Life Coach
Karleigh has worked with Tracey-Leigh since 2013 and has a deeply intuitive style and a rich toolkit of skills and strategies to empower individuals and couples to get unstuck and move forward. Additionally, she is trained in trauma-informed practice and healing techniques, allowing her to be able to stimulate powerful mindset shifts and work with clients at a very deep level.
Karleigh is relational, warm, and laser-focused on what creates meaningful results and she absolutely shines when working with individuals and couples on relationship behaviours, communication skills, understanding personal boundaries and identifying emotional blocks and patterns.
Highly intuitive, Karleigh balances directness with empathy. She is quick to identify issues and has a unique gift for supporting clients to expand their realm of possibility and to see what is truly possible for their lives. She is highly competent in supporting clients to make distinctions and build confidence and is a solid support for clients finding the courage to implement the steps needed to make their dreams a reality. She has the strength and instincts to challenge clients to go deeper and to support them through intense moments of pain and heartbreak into relief and reconciliation. Her wisdom and experience is exceptional and defies the youthfulness of her 30 years of age, outshining those many years her senior.
A mum to 4 beautiful children, Karleigh balances her family life with her work and other commitments and fully understands the challenges faced by young families - as parents and as a couple.
Having worked at MTM for 12 years, in many group settings and training environments, as well as over 8 years in the counselling room - and being Tracey-Leigh's daughter - Karleigh has lived practically her whole 30 years of life "in training" for this role! Growing up with the influence of her mum's insight and guidance and being involved in outreach activities and the counselling industry from a young age has definitely given her an 'inbred' edge, but don't think that means she has not experienced her own challenges in life, such as her estranged and anger-challenged father and adjusting to new members in the family, along with more personal traumas. This has given her a bottom-of-the-pit to restoration life experience that is invaluable in the counselling room, because she knows what it takes to do the hard work of personal healing first hand, and, that recovery is possible. And she knows how to sit alongside others while they do their own healing work.
Karleigh is currently on maternity leave, however she does still help out a little with admin and phone duties, so you may still get to see or speak with her from time to time.
