Counselling in 6162
If you're at a crossroads in life - contemplating a new direction but unsure of the way ahead - you're not alone. Every woman's life is a series of transitions. And navigating them by yourself can be scary, sad or just plain confusing.
Maybe a relationship is forming - or fraying. Maybe you're transitioning to motherhood - or to an empty nest. You could be on the cusp of perimenopause - or poised to launch a new career. You might be questioning your sexuality - or struggling with a recent grief.
These turning points are the times when we most need to be heard and held. When we need someone to walk alongside us.

I work with relationship and family issues. If you are experiencing conflict and are feeling stuck in the same old patterns I can help you to gain insight into why this is happening, your role in the pattern and how you can free yourself to do something more helpful for you and your relationships.

I work with people who hold a lot, executives, business owners, professionals, parents, and couples others rely on. From the outside, life looks successful, but internally there’s pressure, disconnection, or strain.
Some come in crisis, burnout, conflict, or transition. Others feel the gap between how they’re living and what’s possible.
We go beyond talk and work with the patterns underneath, nervous system responses, past conditioning, and behaviour. From there, we build the capacity to respond differently, creating real change in life and relationships.

Are you struggling to make sense of past or current experiences? Are you wanting to lead a calmer, more satisfying, empowered and relational life? Is trauma part of your story? I have an interest in and deep understanding of the far-reaching and often complex psychological and bodily ramifications of trauma, especially those associated with sexual and domestic violence, which may include anxiety, depression, loss of identity, and feelings of low self-worth. Individualised sessions provide a safe, non-judgemental environment for women of all ages to explore issues, develop greater self-knowledge, and make positive life changes.

I practice a unique blend of clinical and organisational psychology. My therapy sessions are conversational, personal, playful, and guiding. Therapy is about a client and a psychologist starting from an idea: That things could be better. Maybe by a lot, maybe just by a little; either way, something worth working for. Something that justifies facing challenges, shaking things up, taking some risks. As a therapist I don't pretend to know all the answers. My skill is to ask the right questions.

You’ve done the talk therapy, got the diagnoses, read the books, developed the insight. You have certainly done your time understanding yourself and your patterns, yet you still feel frustrated that knowing differently has not translated into living differently.
Despite all that hard work and insight, you notice things are not changing. Perhaps you’ve begun to sense something, an inkling, an emerging awareness that something more is involved; that the body or nervous system might somehow play a role in all this.
But…you don’t know where to start or how to work with them in a way that feels safe, grounded, and practical.

As a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, I specialise in depth therapy, helping people understand not only their symptoms but also the unconscious patterns that shape their emotions, relationships, and life choices. Many therapies focus on managing symptoms. Depth therapy goes further, exploring the deeper patterns that influence how we think, feel, and relate to others. I work with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, attachment difficulties, sleep problems, relationship challenges, and questions of meaning, purpose, and personal growth, often leading to greater self-awareness, freedom, and lasting change.

I typically work with people who lead full and busy lives who often feel burnt out and exhausted, looking to find a way back to flourishing and wellbeing. I also work with people who are going through relationship challenges of all shapes and sizes, and people who wish to break free from old, limiting childhood patterns that keep showing up to hinder their full potential. My hope is that clients who work with me are reconnected to their deepest sense of who they are, to their strengths, gifts, and their capacity to love themselves and their lives. I work with individuals and couples.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the Australian Counselling Association and the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. Psychologists must be registered in the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Most Social Workers listed in the directory are members of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for social workers, psychotherapists and counsellors in Australia, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in Australia.
Psychologists have earned a 4 year undergraduate degree in psychology and have completed a postgraduate internship or postgraduate degree. Psychotherapists generally have an undergraduate degree in a health related field in addition to 3-4 years of specialist training in psychotherapy and a period of personal psychotherapy. In order to belong to a professional organisation such as the ACA or PACFA, counsellors and psychotherapists are required to have completed a certain level of AQF qualifications and/ or an approved training course as well as clinical and supervision hours. Social Workers registered with the AASW are required to have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Social Work from an accredited institution.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Australia could be between $100 and $250. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The Better Access Scheme is a government program offering Medicare rebates for mental health care. To access the program you will need to be assessed and diagnosed by your GP and get a Mental Health Plan. This will allow you to receive up to 10 individual sessions and 10 group sessions a year with practitioners who accept bulk billing, with no out of pocket costs for you.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the ACA, PACFA, or the APS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others or when a minor is in danger, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
