Geoff Rupp
Vedic Meditation Teacher

Geoff is a teacher of Vedic Meditation and comes to Newcastle on the last week of every month to run free info sessions on Vedic meditation and it’s benefits…
Meditation is a way of accessing the minds fullest potential. When you meditate, you are creating the perfect conditions for your mind to expand, and your body to rest. When the body is resting deeply, you can begin the process of dissolving stresses in your nervous system that create imbalance and dis-ease. Anything from fatigue, fogginess, anxiety, nervousness, physical pain or mental conditions significantly improve after only a short while of practicing Vedic meditation.
You will feel more aware, calm and confident. You’ll gain greater adaptability in life and feel capable of meeting any challenge or demand. Through a daily practice, you will awaken to your natural state of infinite creativity, flexibility, compassion and generosity.
I look forward to meeting you to begin the transformation.

Kassie Pitkin
Relationship therapist

Kas Pitkin is a Relationship therapist. Kas Pitkin is passionate about deepening self-awareness and strengthening relationships in order to feel satisfied in life and in .
relationship as well as heal in connection.
Kas works primarily with couples and adults to hold space and support in showing what is really happening in the therapy room be it addressing what’s stuck and scary, talking about what’s unresolved, expressing feelings, needs and desires – with the values of acceptance and connection. Kas highly values the therapeutic relationship and a here and now focus to connect with what is reality and to create safety within relationship to create conditions for a deeper, heartfelt connection and way of relating. Kas believes that in order to heal from past hurt and disrupt unwanted coping mechanisms and negative belief systems and cycles in our relationships, we need to first feel connection and acceptance within our vulnerability with others.
In other words, we need others to see us fully in order to heal and to experience authentic, richer relationships. And, before we learn what to do, we must understand what is.
Interpersonal neurobiology tells us that brain growth occurs through experiences and relationship with others. There is no self without the other and so our identity is shaped throughout our relationships with others. When we have experienced a secure attachment within our childhood, we are more likely to feel secure with our own emotions as well as our relationships with others, and to seek what we need and be who we essentially are. When we have experienced insecurity, be it abuse, neglect or trauma, we develop coping skills to survive which serves in keeping us safe. These coping mechanisms protect us at the time but often become barriers as we grow in managing our own emotions safely as well as connecting with others. As a result we may engage creative adjustments such as shutting off, distrusting ourselves and others, self-judgment, addictive behaviour/s, people pleasing and developing unhealthy relationship patterns; all of which prevent us from believing in our own worth and experiencing richer relationships with others, leading to dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, addiction and more. We may also consciously or unconsciously repeat our unmet attachment needs onto others and repeat our trauma, impacting our capacity to emotionally connect at a desired level.
Kas Pitkin focuses on creating a secure relationship with couples and individuals based upon deep respect, trust, empathy, and compassion to support clients in exploring and safely making sense of their experience in order to safely express needs and desires to stay authentic, securely connected and accepted in relationship.
Kas draws on her own lived experience with Gestalt therapy to align with her values of acceptance and connection. Kas delights in the courage taken to stay real with others and welcomes realness in therapy with the belief that satisfaction and peace comes when we learn that we are enough, together.
If you want to:
Understand and accept yourself and relationships clearly and with compassion
Replace negative communication cycles with respectful, supportive communication
Improve your relationship through connecting on a deeper level by learning to safely express your feelings, needs and desires and reflecting this back in relationship
Process unresolved hurts/trauma and find steadiness and compassion individually and in relationship
Learn practical steps in effective communication and managing conflict in relationship
See Kas Pitkin today.
Kas Pitkin holds degree in Bachelor of Social Work, Advanced Clinical Contemporary Relational Gestalt Therapy, Diploma in Resource Therapy, Diploma in Family Constellations, and has completed courses in mental health, couples counselling, addiction, eating disorders, grief and loss, Bouverie family therapy and a range of therapeutic modalities including EFT, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, play therapy,. Kas has worked organisationally in relationship counselling, early intervention mental health, domestic violence, and trauma sectors and now privately as a Relationship Therapy.
