If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want to improve certain aspects of your life, therapy can be beneficial.

To help you explore this without commitment, we offer a free 15-minute consultation. It’s a great way to see if our approach feels like the right fit for you.

While psychologists, counsellors, and social workers all provide therapeutic support, the difference lies in the 'lens' we use.

Psychologists often focus on clinical diagnosis and internal processes. As a Social Worker and Counsellor, I take a holistic approach. We explore your internal thoughts, but we also address the external systems impacting your life, such as your environment and relationships.

I use a combination of evidence-based therapies, but in plain English, our work together focuses on three main tools:

• Motivational Interviewing Helping you find your inner drive to make changes when you feel stuck or uncertain.
• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) Learning how to handle difficult thoughts and feelings so they stop running your life.
• Schema Therapy Identifying the "blueprints" or old patterns from your past that might be getting in the way today.

Our first session is about connection. We’ll discuss your goals and history to establish a plan that feels right for you. It is a gentle, conversational process designed to help you feel at ease.

The duration is entirely individual. Some find that a few sessions provide the clarity they need, while others prefer ongoing support over several months or years.

Yes. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of a safe therapeutic relationship. Everything we discuss is kept private, held within the legal and ethical frameworks of the AASW.

We are based in Dickson, ACT, at 490 Northbourne Ave. All sessions are by appointment.

We also offer Online Therapy and 'Walk and Talk' Therapy (outdoor movement combined with conversation).

You do not need a referral from a GP to begin therapy with me; you can simply book an appointment directly as a private client.

As a social worker, my services are not currently eligible for rebates under the Medicare 'Better Access' initiative. To reflect this, I set my fee structure independently to ensure my services remain accessible.

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. This allows us to offer the time to another person seeking support.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice will generally incur the full session fee.
