Therapy is about learning to be gentle and honest with yourself—finding the courage to face what we've been avoiding and feel what we've been pushing down.
Hi, I'm Stella—a registered counsellor and art therapist.
Maybe you've experienced:
-Lying awake at 3am, thoughts looping endlessly
-Unable to say what you really mean to people you love
-Feeling exhausted but telling yourself "I should do more"
-Looking in the mirror and barely recognising yourself
If this resonates, know that you're not alone. Healing begins when we feel safe and understood.

I specialise in complex cases, including ASD, ADHD, and severe mental illness, across both adult and child populations.
I am a clinical psychologist based in Sydney who works with individuals who appear high-functioning on the outside but carry anxiety, trauma, or deep emotional fatigue. My clients are often insightful and sensitive, seeking clarity, healing, and a more authentic way of living. They come to therapy not just to manage symptoms, but to understand themselves more deeply, break long-standing patterns, and feel seen in a safe and compassionate space. I support them with a thoughtful, integrative approach that honours both science and the human story.

Child Therapists
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
