Questions, answered.

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. Many people seek support because they’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, navigating a difficult life event, or simply wanting to understand themselves better.

If something in your life doesn’t feel quite right, counselling can provide a space to explore what’s happening and work towards meaningful change.

The first session is simply an opportunity for us to get to know one another.

We’ll talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you’d like support with and what you’re hoping might be different. There is no pressure to tell your whole story or have everything figured out before you arrive.

Many people feel nervous before their first appointment. That’s completely normal.

That’s more common than you might think.

Many clients come to counselling saying, “I don’t really know why I’m here—I just know something isn’t right.”

You don’t need to have the right words. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening and gently begin connecting the dots.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer.

Some people come for a handful of sessions to work through a specific issue, while others find ongoing counselling helpful as they navigate more complex or long-standing challenges.

We’ll regularly review your progress together and ensure counselling continues to meet your needs.

I support adults experiencing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, domestic and family violence, low self-esteem, life transitions, workplace stress and personal growth. You can read more on the Areas of Support page.

Whether your challenges feel big or small, you’re welcome here.

Every person is different, so I tailor therapy to the individual rather than following one fixed approach.

My work integrates evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, trauma-informed practice, mindfulness, grief therapy and existential psychotherapy.

More importantly, I focus on helping you understand yourself more deeply by connecting the dots between your experiences, your patterns and the person you want to become. There’s more about this on the My Approach page.

Yes. And I take this very seriously.

Your privacy is very important. Everything discussed during counselling is kept confidential, except in the rare situations where I have a legal or ethical obligation to disclose information, such as where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or someone else.

If this ever became relevant, I would discuss it with you wherever possible.

My preference is to work with clients in person, as I generally find that meeting face-to-face allows us to build a stronger therapeutic connection and creates a space where people often feel more present and able to engage in the counselling process.

That said, I understand that attending in person isn’t always possible. In some circumstances, I can offer online sessions, particularly where distance or other practical considerations make face-to-face appointments difficult.

If you’re unsure whether online counselling would be suitable for you, please get in touch and we can discuss what might work best.

No.

You can book an appointment directly—no referral is required.

Individual counselling sessions are 55 minutes and cost $140.

You can find more information on the Fees page.

Finding the right counsellor is an important part of the therapeutic process.

If you’re unsure, I encourage you to get in touch. You’re welcome to ask questions before booking, and there’s absolutely no obligation to make an appointment.

My hope is that you’ll find a counsellor who feels right for you—whether that’s me or someone else.

Not usually. My role isn’t to give advice or tell you how to live your life. Instead, I’ll help you better understand yourself, explore the options available to you, and make choices that feel aligned with your values and the life you want to create.
