Counselling in Melbourne, VIC
You might already have a sense that therapy could help, and now you feel ready to take that step. Maybe you’ve been carrying something for a while, or you’ve done your own inner work but reached a point where you want support from someone who can walk alongside you. I offer an online therapy in both English and Thai for individuals navigating transitions, anxiety, or a deeper desire for clarity and connection with themselves and others.

Often in today's world, we get caught up in so many distractions on the outside that we are not always aware of our internal experiences. We walk around anxious and depressed, with critical thoughts of ourselves and others, and often live a reality that is separate from our own personal wishes and desires. I believe that therapy provides a safe space to step away from all the external distractions and focus on identifying and responding to our emotional world in the most open and connected way, which may have been too painful to do in the past.
