Sometimes you need support. Sometimes you need a plan.
Most people do not come to counselling with a neat explanation of what is wrong. They come because something feels too much, too heavy or too hard to keep managing on their own.
As an ACA registered counsellor based in Illawong. I support people experiencing:
- Anxiety, panic and overthinking
- Stress, burnout and emotional exhaustion
- ADHD and neurodivergence
- Trauma, grief and difficult life experiences
- Low self esteem and self doubt
- People pleasing, perfectionism and difficulty setting boundaries
- Parenting stress and relationship difficulties
- Life changes or periods of feeling lost or stuck
Some people need space to talk and make sense of what has been happening. Others want help understanding why the same thoughts, feelings or patterns keep coming up. Often, people need a bit of both.
My approach is warm, honest and practical. I will listen properly, ask questions and help you look at what may be sitting underneath the way you feel. We work together to understand what is keeping you stuck and find realistic ways forward that fit your life.
I use a range of counselling approaches and tailor each session to what you need and what feels comfortable for you. I also facilitate government funded anxiety programs for parents and children, which helps keep my work grounded in real, everyday challenges families are facing.
Sessions are available in person at Illawong Shopping Village or online across Australia. You do not need a GP referral or Mental Health Care Plan to book. Bupa and nib rebates may be available depending on your cover.
If you are unsure where to begin, you are welcome to book a free 15 minute phone consultation before making an appointment.
