I believe therapy is for everyone. At times we all need a space just for us, where we feel completely supported to explore and focus on our concerns. Every single person will experience suffering and challenges at some point in their life, and we all deserve a safe and compassionate space to work through the issues we face. The things that matter deeply to you deserve the time and attention they need.

For me, this way of working has brought increased self-awareness, wonder and vitality into my life. Focusing has changed the relationship I have with myself and the world around me, guiding me towards what is most alive and meaningful for me. I hope to share this profound gift with my clients to help them find inner peace and wholeness.

Together we will set goals for our work and regularly review how therapy is going for you. You will always set the pace and focus for the session, and how you are feeling in the present moment is how we begin each session.

Therapy is a collaboration and we will work as a team to achieve your goals.

At the start we will go through an intake process that includes informing you of your rights and gaining your consent.

Ultimately, I’ll teach you a way to relate to your experience that brings a greater sense of ease as you learn to connect and attune more deeply with yourself.

I work with many different issues and challenges, some of which include:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Anxiety, OCD and depression

• Grief, bereavement and loss

• Issues with alcohol and substance abuse

• Self-criticism, low self-esteem and procrastination

• Loss of meaning/purpose

• Relational/family issues

• Feelings of stress and being overwhelmed

• Issues to do with sexuality and sexual attraction 

• Feelings of isolation and loneliness

• Feelings of shame and guilt

• Chronic illness and chronic pain

• Transitional life stages and ageing

• Work and workplace difficulties

• Mental health issues

A typical counselling session is 50 minutes in length.

Whilst the frequency of sessions/course of therapy depends on the client and the nature of the concern, I do recommend an initial commitment to five appointments preferably on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I do not require you to have a referral.

The charge for counselling sessions with individuals is $150 in person and $130 for telehealth. You can pay by transferring online after the session, I will send you an invoice with the payment details.

Fees are currently claimable by those with relevant private health insurance policies.

As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I am unfortunately unable to offer Medicare rebates at this time.

I offer both in person counselling at my practice in Thornbury or online sessions via zoom.

It will be up to you, as I understand that online offers more flexibility, especially if you live outside of Melbourne. And for others, in person is their preference.
