Female Counselling in Melbourne, VIC

Hello, professional. Experiencing anxiety, big life changes, or processing a stressful event?

You’re a deep thinker and have done lots of self work, but feel stuck and aren’t sure how to move forward. It doesn't have to stay this way!

Sometimes life can be really rough and throw us unexpected curveballs that we can’t manage on our own and nor should we. During these times, we all need and deserve to be listened to and have someone who can understand the challenges we are going through, and help navigate us back on track in our own time and without judgement.
I can support you to get through your tough times, whilst also helping you to relearn who you are, who it is you want to be and what has been preventing you from being able to be that person.

Life is full of stressors and challenges. It can be a struggle getting through each hour of each day. As a consequence, we can experience depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, feeling stuck, or feeling not quite right. We may struggle to adapt to a new situation - loss of a loved one, job loss, overwhelmed by work or study, separation, a new diagnosis, a medical event such as cancer or a heart attack. You don' t need to struggle alone. Adjustment and change are possible. Reaching out can be scary. Better now, than later or never. We all need expert support at times. It's ok, to not be ok. An impartial, supportive ear is available.

Life is messy and imperfect. Sexuality and identity is a lifelong journey. So many of us are limited in our exploration due to shame, stigma, or lack of sexuality education. I believe in a sex-positive approach which acknowledges and celebrates the diversity of human sexuality, identity and expression. When we are informed, empowered and validated, we live happier and more authentic lives.

You’re doing all the things, showing up for work, supporting your kids, keeping your home just right. But underneath it all, you’re stretched thin. Maybe anxiety has become your baseline, or grief sits quietly in the background. You catch yourself in patterns of people-pleasing, unsure how to set boundaries that truly honour your needs. And some days, it feels like you’ve lost a part of yourself, a version of you that you can’t quite remember, but deeply miss. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward, I’m here to help you find your way back with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
