Now welcoming new clients no referral needed
Please contact me if you can't find an answer to your question.
I work with women, parents, and teens, and every session is shaped around you, not a one-size-fits-all approach. What matters most to me is that you feel safe, respected, and truly yourself while we work together.
I don't offer Medicare rebates or accept Mental Health Care Plans, and sessions are self-funded. This means there's no need for a GP referral or a diagnosis, you can simply reach out whenever you're ready. You can view current fees on the Book Now page.
No, you don't need a referral to book with me. Whenever you feel ready, you're welcome to reach out.
Yes. Confidentiality is a core part of counselling. There are a few legal and ethical exceptions, which I'll explain clearly before we begin.
Yes, grief and loss is something I've studied in depth and support regularly, for women, parents, and teens alike. You can read more on my Grief and Loss page.
Yes, and it's an area close to my heart. I draw on my studies in child development and youth support, as well as my experience volunteering as a youth mentor, to help teens feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.
Consent for teen clients depends on the individual young person and their situation. As part of getting started, I'll talk this through with you and your teen so it's clear what's needed before we begin.
This free call is a relaxed way for us to connect. It's a chance for you to ask any questions about me, the counselling process, or how I work. We'll also chat briefly about what you're looking to explore through counselling, and whether my approach feels like a good fit.
There's no pressure to book a session. It's a chance to talk things through, get some clarity, and decide what you'd like to do next. Follow this link if you'd like to book a free call.
Your first session is a chance to slow down. You'll be met with warmth and honesty, and the chance to feel heard as we explore what's brought you to counselling, what's feeling challenging, and what you'd like to get out of our time together.
You don't need to have everything figured out, just come as you are. I'll ask a few questions to understand your world, and together we'll begin shaping something that feels safe, supportive, and true to you.
Sessions are typically 50 minutes. You can view current fees on the Book Now page.
There's no set number. Some people come for a few sessions to work through something specific, while others choose longer-term support. We'll check in regularly to see how things are feeling, and you're always in charge of the pace and direction. My role is to support you, not to rush or prescribe.
Life happens, and I understand that plans can shift unexpectedly. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give as much notice as you can. More than 48 hours' notice means no fee, 24 to 48 hours may incur a 50% fee, and less than 24 hours' notice or a missed appointment may incur the full session fee. Rescheduling is always an option when there's enough notice, and if something genuinely unexpected comes up, please reach out, we can talk through what feels fair together.
