Individual Counselling

If you are experiencing overwhelm and distress and can’t find a way to restore balance or experience healing, I am here to provide personalised support tailored to your needs.

The first time we meet, I will learn from you about what has happened to you, and how you are experiencing this in your mind, body and interactions. You will be provided with strategies to support the areas you have identified as concerns and receive a summary email after our session. This summary means you don’t have to focus on anything but being present in the session and should take away the stress of remembering what was discussed.

Therapies that may be used in sessions include:

  • Internal Family Systems

  • Mindfulness

  • Deep Brain Reorienting

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Grief and Loss Counselling

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cost: $100 per 50 minute session

Friends and Family Counselling

Supporting someone in distress is hard. Sometimes it feels like no matter what you do or say it’s the wrong thing.

In these sessions, I provide guidance, support, and resources to help you understand your role, develop effective communication strategies, and learn ways to offer emotional and practical assistance.

Through this counselling, I aim to foster a supportive environment that enhances the wellbeing of both your loved one and you, their support network.

Health Advocacy and Support

I understand how frustrating it can be when doctors dismiss or invalidate your symptoms - These sessions are flexible and designed to change this.

I believe you are the expert on your body. Together, we will create a comprehensive map of your symptoms, documented in a clear and concise report that you can present to your general practitioner.

The report is written using medical language, ensuring doctors listen, validate, and make appropriate referrals to support your health. This approach aims to break down barriers to diagnosis, facilitating more accurate and timely medical care.

There is also an option to have me present on the phone during the appointment to provide additional advocacy and support. Before this phone call, we discuss your concerns and questions. During the phone call, I will take notes and support you to regulate if you feel overwhelmed. I will also remind you if you have forgotten any of the questions you were hoping to ask. After the phone call, you will receive a summary of your medical appointment.

My goal is to support you in navigating the healthcare system with confidence and clarity, so your needs are heard and addressed effectively.

Not ready for counselling or therapy?

Reaching out for counselling can be one of the hardest steps to take, and it’s perfectly okay if you’re not ready just yet. Healing and support are deeply personal journeys, and there's no right timeline for when you should seek help. If you're not quite there yet, that's alright.

In the meantime, you can explore the resources I’ve created to offer support and guidance at your own pace. Whether it's guided meditation, a self-paced workbook, or other tools designed to help you reconnect with yourself, these resources are here to assist you whenever you feel ready.
