I’m a warm and dedicated Clinical Psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and families. Over the past seven years, I’ve supported people through a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and relational challenges across government and private settings. I have a particular interest in supporting anxiety, perfectionism, emotional regulation, low mood, life transitions, perinatal anxiety and identity development. I also use psychometric assessments to guide meaningful, focused intervention and enjoy translating research into practical strategies.

Waitlist for new clients
I am especially passionate about working with couples and individuals navigating communication, anxiety, and unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.
I understand that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable and even daunting, which is why creating a safe, welcoming space and building a genuine client-therapist relationship is a top priority for me. I strive to make the therapeutic process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I view therapy as a collaborative journey, grounded in each individual’s strengths and personal goals. I deeply respect that every client is unique in their experiences and circumstances. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to support clients in understanding and transforming emotional patterns.

You may look like you’re coping on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what comes next. Counselling offers a space to slow things down, feel genuinely heard, and begin understanding what’s underneath the stress, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or emotional overwhelm you’ve been carrying. Many clients seek clarity, healing, and confidence while processing difficult emotions, rebuilding self-worth, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful change.

FAQ - Marriage Counselling
What issues does marriage counselling help with?
Marriage counselling can address common relationship concerns, including ongoing conflict, communication challenges, emotional distance, or difficulty making decisions together. It may also be helpful for couples who are not currently experiencing major problems but want to prepare for future life changes. For more specific concerns affecting one individual in the relationship, such as trauma, depression, or significant substance use concerns, individual therapy may be more appropriate than marriage counselling.

When is the right time to start marriage counselling?
There is no single “right” time to start marriage counselling, but certain signs may suggest that counselling could be helpful. For example, a couple may benefit from counselling if many conversations end in conflict, if negative interactions are becoming more frequent, or if relationship stress is affecting other areas of life, such as sleep, work, parenting, or friendships. Some couples also seek counselling proactively. Premarital counselling, for instance, allows couples to discuss communication styles, finances, family dynamics, and future goals before getting married. Other couples may start counselling before a major life change, such as becoming parents, relocating, or navigating a stressful career transition.

Is marriage counselling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Marriage counselling may still help even if one partner is more hesitant to attend, as long as both people are ultimately willing to participate in sessions. Once counselling is underway, the more hesitant partner may become more open to sessions that can strengthen the relationship and build coping skills and communication strategies. If one partner refuses to attend, individual therapy may still help the other partner understand their needs, set boundaries, and decide how to approach the relationship.

Is online marriage counselling as effective as in-person?
There are differing opinions on the best format for marriage counselling. While some studies show that online marriage counselling can be as effective as in-person counselling, some argue that in-person counselling is more effective because it allows the therapist to better pick up on context and body language cues. In addition, in-person counselling may be a better fit for couples who are working through high-conflict issues. Ultimately, the “best” format depends on the couple’s specific needs and concerns.

What is faith-based marriage counselling and how is it different?
Faith-based marriage counselling incorporates a couple’s religious or spiritual beliefs into counselling. It may be a good fit for couples who want to discuss their relationship, values, and marriage within the context of their faith. For example, Christian marriage counselling may appeal to couples who want a counsellor familiar with Christian beliefs about marriage. Other forms of faith-based counselling may incorporate Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or other religious perspectives into sessions.

How much does marriage counselling cost and is it covered by insurance?
Marriage counselling in Australia is usually paid for privately. Medicare rebates generally do not apply to couples or marriage counselling, although some private health insurance plans may cover part of the cost. If you are unsure whether your plan offers a marriage counselling benefit, you can inquire with your insurance provider about any available rebates or coverage options. When paid for privately, sessions often cost around AUD $150 to $250 or more. Fees depend on location, counsellor experience, session length, and practice setting. Lower-cost options may be available through sliding scale fees, which adjust the cost of counselling based on income, as well as through community services or non-profit organisations that offer reduced-cost services.
