Together, we can work out how to move forward with care and curiosity. I can hold space for you during life transitions and times when life feels stuck. I am trained in Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as other approaches — because one size doesn't fit all. We use what works for you. All of these approaches are grounded in compassion and help you understand yourself more deeply, so you can move forward and live a more conscious, ease-filled life. I offer a rebate with my service under a Mental Health Care Plan.

Life can be tough, but you don’t have to face it alone. Counselling can help you navigate your way back to feeling better about life. I’m a compassionate counsellor with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. I understand how overwhelming life’s challenges can be—whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, or any other personal issues. Taking that first step toward change is often the hardest, but with new strategies and support change is possible.

Hi, I’m Amy. I support adults navigating Autism, ADHD, anxiety, burnout, masking, identity questions, workplace stress, grief and life transitions. Many people I work with are unsure whether they’re neurodivergent they just know they’re overwhelmed, exhausted or feeling out of step. You don’t need a diagnosis to see me. My approach is warm, neuroaffirming and flexible. I adapt to your pace, communication style and sensory needs so therapy feels safe, collaborative and grounding. I'm passionate about supporting people to build a life they don't need to recover from!
