Counselling and therapy

  • Counselling sessions can take place online or in-person for those based in Melbourne (Australia). The focus of each 60 minute session is dependent on what you feel called to address in that given moment as well as the goals set in our initial sessions.

    Generally speaking, the benefits of therapy include:

    • Understanding and processing emotions

    • Improving relationships with yourself and others

    • Improving communication skills

    • Gaining clarity around decisions and direction

    • Greater self-understanding and confidence

    • Develop better coping skills and strategies

  • I have an interest in Narrative, Existential and Person Centered frameworks. I support my clients to challenge their interpretations of the past and construct narratives that empower them to take steps that are reflective of their strengths, goals, and authentic self.

    A combination of other modalities can also be used because ultimately, my therapeutic approach is guided by your circumstances. I also use:

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

    • Internal Family Systems

    • Relational and Attachment Theory Focus

    • Positive Psychology and Strengths Based.

  • Following the pandemic and the growing need for support services, I’m offering sliding scale pricing for a limited amount of time. No justification or evidence will be required to select a lower price point.

    The standard rate for a single session is $120 with the option of pay as low as $80 for students and lower income earners

have a question?

Feel free to look through these FAQs and contact me directly if there’s something else you’d like to know.

  • Nope! You can just book in a session with me.

  • Everything is confidential with the exceptions being if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. In this case, I may have to speak to emergency services. This is a standard practice across the industry.

  • Psychologists can test and formally diagnose clients with mental health conditions and neurodivergent presentations. Psychiatrists also prescribe medications. Both professionals have longer training than counsellors and usually cost more. You can read this article for more information.

  • My experience has mostly been with men. However, I would never turn anyone away who wanted to work with me.

  • In Australia, counsellors can't accept MHCP. However, my session costs are similar, if not cheaper, to what you would pay if a rebate was applied.

  • There's no definite answer here, as every person and their situation is different. There is no minimum commitment and you're welcome to take breaks.

I prefer starting things off with a free, zero obligation call to discuss the possibility of working together.
