Many women seek support during times of transition, stress, or uncertainty. You may be navigating changes in identity, relationships, or life direction. Some women come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or low mood, others are trying to understand patterns in their relationships, emotions, or past experiences. Women’s mental health is often connected to broader life circumstances such as fertility challenges, pregnancy, early parenthood, chronic pelvic pain, or sexual health concerns affecting intimacy and wellbeing. For many, therapy becomes a space to reflect, feel heard, and work through life’s complexities with support.

I specialise in helping adults move through the impacts of trauma and chronic stress.
Are you constantly on edge, overwhelmed, or exhausted, even when you know you're safe? Trauma, chronic stress, and ADHD can leave your nervous system stuck in survival mode, making it hard to switch off, focus, regulate emotions, or feel present. You may find yourself masking, overthinking, avoiding triggers, or feeling numb and disconnected. Therapy can help you understand how your brain and body have adapted, build greater safety and self-compassion, and develop practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and create lasting change through a collaborative, trauma-informed approach.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in Australia hold various credentials depending on their training. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) or the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and their qualifications and practice are overseen by these professional organisations. Psychologists must be registered with the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) and have professional designations such as Clinical Psychologist, General Psychologist, or Counselling Psychologist. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
