How I Can Help
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or unsure about what comes next. Counselling can provide a safe space to better understand what you’re experiencing, develop practical ways of coping, and work towards meaningful change.
Specialty Areas
Anxiety & Depression
Support to better understand and manage anxiety, depression, self-esteem difficulties and emotional distress
Trauma
Trauma-informed support for people affected by past or ongoing trauma including complex and childhood trauma.
Grief & Loss
Support through bereavement, anticipatory grief, relationship loss and other significant changes or losses.
LGBTQI+ Affirming Care
A safe, affirming space to explore gender identity, sexuality issues, relationships, family experiences, minority stress and other concerns
Relationships & Modern Dating
Explore relationship patterns, communication, boundaries, dating experiences and intimacy in a supportive, non-judgemental space. Relationship counselling can help you develop healthier ways of connecting with yourself and others.
Couples Counselling
Support for couples wanting to improve communication, navigate conflict, rebuild connection or work through relationship difficulties.
Funding Streams Available
Medicare
If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from your GP, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for counselling sessions. The Medicare rebate reduces your out-of-pocket cost. I provide confidential online counselling across Australia, making it possible to access therapy from home.
Private Health Insurance
I work with most major private health insurers like HCF, BUPA and Medibank. Depending on your extras cover, you may be able to claim a rebate for sessions. Please check with your health fund to confirm your eligibility.
Victims Services
If you have an approved NSW Victims Support Scheme application, you may be eligible for fully funded counselling. No out-of-pocket fee applies where counselling is approved and covered by Victims Services. Simply get in touch to discuss your eligibility and arrange an appointment.
