Working with Camryn

Camryn Bird, registered counsellor at Untamed Minds

Hey, I'm Camryn, a registered counsellor and founder of Untamed Minds.

I created Untamed Minds because I wanted counselling to feel warm, welcoming and genuine. A space where you can show up as you are, speak openly and feel supported without judgement.

Counselling shouldn't feel clinical or intimidating. It should feel like your space and be shaped around what works best for you, not the other way around.

I'm naturally curious, open-minded and genuinely interested in getting to know the person behind what they're going through. My approach is warm, honest and down-to-earth.

I believe one of the most important parts of counselling is the relationship you build with your counsellor. Feeling understood and able to be yourself creates the foundation for meaningful change. Of course, there's room for humour too, because counselling doesn't always need to feel serious or heavy.

I'll work alongside you, offering support, practical direction and gentle challenges when it may be helpful, while respecting that you know yourself and your life best.

I take a holistic view of mental health, recognising that our wellbeing is connected to our relationships, routines, sleep, movement, environment and the way we speak to ourselves.

I want to understand what life looks and feels like for you, not just focus on a list of symptoms.

Like most people, I've experienced periods of feeling overwhelmed, uncertain and not quite like myself. I know the difference it can make to have someone who genuinely sees, hears and supports you.

There's no judgement, pressure or pretending here, just curiosity, care and kindness.

Together, we can strengthen communication, build positive habits, manage stress, improve relationships and support your personal growth.

Whatever brings you to counselling, you don't have to work through it alone.

Qualifications & Approach

I am an ACA Level 2 Registered Counsellor and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Counselling and Applied Psychology.

I take a holistic and person-centred approach, tailoring counselling to your individual needs and drawing from:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • DBT-informed strategies
  • Solution-focused therapy
  • Trauma-informed practice
  • Neurodiversity-affirming practice
  • Mindfulness practices
  • Self-compassion practices

Above all, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where you can better understand yourself, explore what's happening in your life and develop practical tools that feel useful to you.

Counselling

Support that is tailored to you, offered in a way that feels genuine, practical and easy to access.

Individual Counselling for Teens, Young Adults & Women

Growing up and navigating adulthood can bring a lot to manage — school pressures, friendships, relationships, confidence, identity, family changes and emotions that can sometimes feel difficult to understand.

Counselling doesn't have to feel overly clinical or intimidating. I aim to provide a relaxed and supportive space where you can talk openly, better understand what you're experiencing and develop strategies that work for you.

One-on-one counselling is tailored to you and what you're currently experiencing.

I Support Young People & Women Navigating:

  • Anxiety
  • Work pressure
  • School or university stress
  • Overthinking
  • Overwhelm
  • Burnout
  • Relationship patterns
  • Low self-worth
  • Confidence
  • Emotional regulation
  • Identity
  • Internal conflict
  • Life transitions

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the individual, combining genuine conversation with evidence-informed therapeutic approaches and practical strategies for the things that feel heavy.

Online Counselling

Online counselling offers the same individualised support from the comfort and convenience of your own space.

Telehealth sessions are available for clients who prefer online counselling or are unable to attend in person.

Walk & Talk Counselling

Walk & Talk counselling offers a more relaxed alternative to traditional room-based counselling.

Sessions take place outdoors and can be particularly helpful for people who find traditional counselling sessions intimidating.

Walk & Talk counselling combines grounding, movement, fresh air and simply being outside, helping conversation feel more natural and relaxed.
