Services & Fees
General counselling
Counselling for adults provides a space to talk openly about the challenges, pressures, and experiences that come with everyday life. You might be dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, burnout, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck. Together we can explore what’s going on for you and work toward greater clarity, self-understanding, and meaningful change.

Teens counselling
Adolescence can be a complicated and overwhelming time. Counselling offers teenagers a safe and supportive place to talk about what’s happening in their lives — whether that’s school stress, friendships, identity, emotions, family dynamics, or feeling misunderstood. Sessions focus on helping teens feel heard while building insight, confidence, and coping skills.

Autism Counselling
I offer support that respects neurodiversity, honours your experience, and works with your nervous system , not against it.
I specialise in autism and neurodivergence counselling, grounded in a neurodiversity‑affirming framework. That means I don’t see autism/neurodivergence as something to fix : I work with your strengths, sensory needs, communication style, and lived experience.

Parenting counselling
Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it can also be challenging and exhausting at times. Counselling for parents provides a space to reflect on the pressures of parenting, navigate family dynamics, and explore practical ways to support both yourself and your child. This can include discussing behaviour, communication, emotional wellbeing, or the unique experiences of raising neurodivergent children.

Clinical hypnosis
Clinical hypnosis is a gentle, evidence-informed approach that uses focused relaxation and guided attention to help you access your subconscious mind, where many habits, patterns, and emotional responses are formed. It can be a powerful tool to help you manage stress and anxiety, break unwanted habits, improve sleep, build confidence, and support the goals we're working on together in counselling. Sessions are tailored to your individual needs and are always conducted in a safe, supportive space.

Why counselling with me, even without a Medicare rebate
Medicare Mental Health Care Plans don't currently cover sessions with me, but that doesn't mean you're paying more, or waiting longer, for support.
No referral needed. You don't need a GP appointment or a Mental Health Care Plan to get started, just get in touch directly.
Fast access. I can usually offer a first appointment within 2 weeks, well ahead of typical wait times for a Medicare-rebated psychologist.
No session cap. Medicare plans currently allow a limited number of rebated sessions per year. With me, there's no cap, we work at the pace that's right for you, for as long as it's useful.
Comparable cost. At $80 a session, my fee is often close to, or lower than, the out-of-pocket gap fee many people already pay to see a psychologist under Medicare, even with the rebate applied.
Already have a Mental Health Care Plan? You're still very welcome here. Many people use their plan sessions with a Medicare provider and see me in between, or choose to work with me instead for the reasons above.
FAQs
-
It varies. Some people find a few sessions helpful, others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly check in about what's working and what you need.
-
Yes, with specific exceptions: if there's a risk of serious harm to the teen or someone else, or if there's abuse or neglect. I'll explain this clearly in our first session. Building trust means teens need to know what they share stays private.
-
That's very common. We can start with parent-only sessions to understand what's happening and develop strategies. Sometimes teens become willing to attend once they see changes at home. Other times, supporting the parent is enough to shift the family dynamic.
-
Counselling sessions can be conducted via telehealth from the comfort of your home. You will be provided with a link to a video call.
-
Payment is required in advance. Once your session is booked, you will receive a secure payment link.
-
The best way to find out is through a free 15-minute phone consultation. This gives us a chance to talk briefly about what's happening, and you can get a sense of my approach and whether we're a good fit.
If after our chat you feel I'm not the right fit, that's completely okay. But if it feels like we could work well together, we can book your first full session and get started.
