Bupa members may be eligible for a private health rebate, depending on their cover; Medicare rebates are not available.
I work with adults who are used to holding everything together, but find the strategies that got them this far are no longer working. You may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depleted; be navigating grief, relationship difficulties or significant change; or notice the same patterns repeating despite your efforts to shift them. Some people arrive in crisis. Others cannot name one defining problem, only a persistent sense that the life they are living no longer quite fits. You do not need a perfectly formed reason for seeking counselling. Curiosity, discomfort or a readiness for something to change is enough.

That’s why I’ve made it a priority to ensure this part of the process feels as welcoming and informative as possible.

You've come here because you're suffering in some way. It is my honour to be able to offer a therapy space for people who want to face the pain in their lives, and see what might be on the other side. Many people come at times of change or transition: relationships, life stages, careers, dark nights of the soul, or plunges into the deep end. Or, people come feeling stuck after years of coping with trauma and addiction. In sessions, I support you to identify the conflicts, emotions, memories, and relationship struggles that repeat and we find ways to experience these differently.
