Carlie Schofield

Carlie is a counsellor (GradDip Counselling and GradDip PsychAdv) and an Aboriginal cultural consultant with 12 years experience.

She supports women—particularly mothers—who feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, and caught in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.

Her work moves beyond surface-level coping strategies.
It focuses on helping women understand how their experiences, nervous system, and environment have shaped the way they move through the world and how to begin shifting that with clarity, self-trust, and compassion.

Alongside her counselling work, Carlie consults with organisations including MindSpot and Coordinare South Eastern NSW PHN to support culturally safe, accessible health and mental health care for Aboriginal communities.

Her work is grounded in both professional training and lived experience, with a strong focus on relational safety, and social and emotional wellbeing.

Carlie’s voice has been featured in ABC Perspectives and on the TEDx stage, where she speaks on identity, intergenerational trauma, and what it means to build emotional generational wealth.

She is currently completing further training in clinical psychology, continuing to deepen her work in culturally informed care and attachment.

Her work is built on the belief that many women aren’t failing—
they’ve been surviving in systems that were never designed to support them.

And that healing isn’t about becoming someone new, but rather
it’s about reconnecting to who you were before you had to adapt.

Personally, she is a mother, a writer, and someone deeply committed to breaking cycles, both in her own life and in the work she does with others.
