What therapy looks like
Therapy is an experience where you are invited to bring what feels pressing and important to you. My role is not to offer superficial fixes, but to walk alongside you as we uncover meaning and new possibilities.
How long it takes may depend on how long you have struggled and your current challenges.
How I work
Session Structure
I usually work with people weekly rather than fortnightly or monthly. Meeting regularly helps us get to know each other, maintain momentum, and give you consistent support through difficult times.
Beginning Therapy
In our first couple of sessions, I will outline what you can expect. It usually takes a couple of sessions for us to decide if we can work together.
Scheduling
To create a trauma-informed, safe space, your session will take place on the same day and time each week as part of our mutual commitment to the work. Sessions start and finish on time.
Fees
I will discuss the session fee when we first speak. My initial focus in a brief phone call is to learn about you and find out what you are looking for. Next, we discuss an initial meeting.
Professional Standards and Registration
I am an Australian Counselling (ACA) registered counsellor, committed to best practice under the new national standards for counselling.

No Therapist Works Alone
Behind my work with you is a strong foundation of support. I engage in regular supervision, professional development, and my own therapy. This “village” sustains me as a therapist, which in turn sustains the work I do with you.
“Together, we explore the stories and experiences shaping your life, with curiosity and care.”
