Online Therapy for Healing and Growth

A safe space to slow down, process your experiences, and start feeling more like yourself again.

Book an Intro Call

A safe place to begin.
Feeling safe and seen in therapy isn’t a bonus; it’s essential. I care deeply about the relationship we build together, and I’m intentional about creating a space where you feel accepted, understood, and met as you are.

I’ve been told for much of my life that people feel safe with me. I don’t take that lightly. Research shows that feeling unconditionally accepted in the therapy room is one of the strongest predictors of change, and I experience this as true, again and again, in my work.

We’ll work with emotions, not just insight.
Understanding your thoughts and beliefs matters. But insight alone isn’t enough to create change. In our work together, we’ll also make space for the emotions and bodily responses tied to those patterns.

I’ll sit with you as you learn to sit with yourself. I’ll gently ask about your emotional experience, help you name what you’re feeling, and support you to become more attuned to your inner world, often at a pace that feels slower and safer than you may be used to.

We’ll explore your past with care.
Our relationship patterns don’t come from nowhere. We learn early how to stay safe, how to relate, and what roles to play in order to belong.

This work is slower and deeper for lasting change.

Here’s how it will happen…

Looking back can feel daunting, and we’ll only go there when it feels supportive to do so. As we gently explore your past, we’ll begin to understand how earlier experiences are shaping current stresses, patterns, and relationships; not to blame, but to make sense of things with compassion.

You have autonomy and choice.
You are in control of your therapy. You decide what we focus on and when. My role is to support you in tuning in to what you need, learning to self-advocate, and experiencing what it’s like to have your voice matter within a relationship.

I’ll offer guidance, reflections, and gentle challenges, but always with respect for your pace and your boundaries.

I work from a strengths-based, non-pathologising lens.
I don’t see you as broken. I understand anxiety, depression, and many coping strategies as nervous system responses to stress, threat, or a lack of safety.

We’ll look at your patterns with curiosity and compassion, understanding how they once helped you survive or stay connected, and exploring what might support you better now.

I wonder, does this sound familiar?

You feel stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety or emotional overwhelm.

You care a lot about others, and you also care a lot about what others think of you.

You’re extremely self-aware, but you don’t feel in control of your life.

You can easily guess what others need, but you don’t know what you need in your relationships.

You work hard to make others happy, but doing so doesn’t bring you genuine happiness.

You’re tired of feeling like others don’t consider you or notice everything you do for them.

You’re exhausted by experiencing the same thing in your relationships: feeling invalidated for what you feel or want.

You’re ready to feel more grounded, confident, and self-aware.

You want practical tools and evidence-based strategies to support real change.

If this sounds like you, I’m glad you’re here.

You’ve come to the right place.

Therapeutic Approach

My primary therapeutic approach is humanistic, meaning I place the relationship at the centre of the work and see you as the expert in your own experience.

I see you as a whole person whose responses make sense in the context of what you’ve lived through. Our work is collaborative, compassionate, and paced to support real, sustainable change.

Alongside a humanistic foundation, I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Focusing-Oriented Therapy, and mindfulness and self-compassion to support both deep emotional understanding and practical, values-aligned change.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The frequency of sessions depends on your goals and current needs. Most clients start with weekly sessions, but we can adjust to fortnightly or monthly if that works better for your schedule or stage of healing.

  • I offer a no-questions-asked sliding scale to make therapy more accessible.

    My current rates for 60-min individual sessions are:

    Full Fee: $140 AUD

    Concession Fee: $110 AUD

    Payment is due in full either upon booking or on the day of your session.

    Your credit card information will be securely stored for automatic processing.

    I charge a cancellation fee equal to the cost of your session if you cancel less than 48 hours before your session.

  • Yes! I offer online sessions via secure video call, so you can work with me from anywhere, as long as you have a stable internet connection.

  • I offer flexible session times, including mornings, afternoons, and occasional weekends and evenings. Availability can vary, so it’s best to book an intro call to find a time that suits you.

  • As a counsellor, I’m not qualified to diagnose clients. I prefer to get to know each client, work with them to make sense of their unique symptoms and see where we need to focus our sessions to help alleviate stressors. At times, I may discuss your view of diagnosis or potential diagnostic labels with you in order to provide you with resources or referrals.

  • Prior to your first session, you will receive intake forms via email. Please fill these out before we meet; I will not be able to meet with you until you complete these forms.

  • Individual sessions are typically 60 minutes. We’ll use this time to explore what’s happening for you and develop tools and strategies to support your healing.

  • Your first session is an opportunity to share your story, discuss your goals, and explore whether we’re a good fit. It’s a collaborative, safe space to begin your journey.

  • I believe the therapeutic relationship is centred on the idea that the client is the expert on their own lives. You know your experiences best and you know what you need to focus on in therapy. Because of this, I will trust you to come prepared each week with topics and areas of concern that you would like to explore together in your session. You are the guide: you will learn how to voice your needs and reclaim your autonomy by telling me what you want from each session.

  • Each session and the duration of your treatment is individualised based on your own personal needs. Overall, there is no set length of time I can estimate for our time together. Once you reach a point of growth where you feel confident in the goals you have reached, we will decide together when to bring your season of therapy to an end. This will be a collaborative process, from the beginning to the end.

  • I support individuals with trauma recovery, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, stress and life transitions, relationship and parenting challenges, and more. My approach is humanistic, trauma-informed, and evidence-based.

  • You can begin with an intro call to ask questions and see if we’re a good fit. From there, we can book your first intake session and start your journey at a pace and frequency that works for you.
