specialised Areas
Heal your heart
I specialise in relational trauma healing, including recovery from blindsiding breakups, discards, and ghosting or insecure attachment such as avoidant, anxious or disorganised patterns. Also, mild c-PTSD, emotional trauma bonds, unhealthy relationship dynamics, friendship breakups, betrayal trauma, abandonment wounds and covert/overt emotional manipulation and abuse.
Neurodivergence
I provide neurodivergent-affirming support including ASD, ADHD and AuDHD. I welcome everyone, whether formally diagnosed, self-identified or late diagnosed. Recognising that everybody’s experience and every neurotype is equally valid and unique. I take the time to explore your inner world with you, to truly understand how you process, relate and experience life.
*Please note I do not offer diagnosis or testing
navigate change
Supporting you through major life transitions, including, shifts in your personal life, career, relationships, and health. Life transitions are unique to each of us, but may involve grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relocation, infertility, parenthood, chronic illness, terminal illness, injury, ageing, career changes, menopause, midlife crisis and identity or existential questioning.
dream Therapy
Do you have vivid, recurring or confusing dreams that you want to explore? Dream therapy is a gentle, trauma-informed process that uses specialised techniques to uncover hidden messages from the subconscious, by identifying symbols, patterns, images and emotions. Dream states can give us access to implicit memory enabling a bottom-up process which often leads to deeper healing and memory reconsolidation.
AuthentiC Self
As an IFS (Internal Family Systems) Informed Counsellor, I specialise in a non-pathologising process called ‘parts mapping’ which is a gentle, visual way to explore and understand the protective roles and behaviours inside you, such as the inner critic or perfectionist. Through mapping, you begin to develop a new language of relating to yourself and accessing your inner source of wisdom called Self energy which holds your authentic inner voice.
Ignite your path
If you are ready to move from self-awareness into aligned action, I offer personalised guidance that honours your pace, values and inner wisdom. Blending therapeutic techniques with mentoring, to break through subconscious blocks and overcome limiting beliefs. Supporting you practically and emotionally to take intentional action toward your vision, in alignment with your life purpose, passion or goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do I need a referral from my GP?
A. No, you don’t need a referral. Sessions can be booked by contacting me directly.
Q. Can I obtain a Medicare refund?
A. Medicare does not generally cover counselling services. If you want to use a mental health plan, your GP can refer you to a registered provider. However, if counselling suits your needs, consider that it is often a less expensive option even without the Medicare rebate and unlike a mental health plan, you are not limited to 10 sessions. Private counselling offers you both affordability and flexibility, ensuring ongoing support is available.
Q. Can I obtain a private health fund rebate?
A. Private health funds differ on their inclusions for counselling services, dependent on your plan and your health care provider. It is best to check with them directly to discuss what is included on your policy.
Q. Do you offer a free consultation?
A. Yes. I offer a free 15-minute consultation, contact me and we’ll schedule a time.
Q. Do I need counselling or mentoring?
A. If you are experiencing current or recent trauma within the last 12 months, counselling is usually the best option, providing a safe space for emotional processing and support. Therapeutic mentoring is for those navigating life beyond the initial trauma, honouring experiences that occurred over 12 months ago or longer, whilst focusing on growth, integration and future direction. Both approaches may be blended when appropriate to support your personal journey offering a unique service that grows with you.
Q. Can you diagnose me or prescribe medication?
A. No. As a counsellor I cannot diagnose any disorder such as mental health or personality disorders and I cannot prescribe medication, I recommend contacting your GP to start that pathway. To consider whether my services are right for you, I have more detailed information on my scope of practice including disclaimers in my Terms of Service.
Q. Do you offer crisis support?
A. No, this counselling service focuses on facilitating a safe and supportive environment for growth, healing and personal development, it is not intended for crisis intervention, acute mental health care or suicide risk. If you are experiencing severe distress or mental health challenges, I advise you seek support from a registered mental health professional, emergency services or by calling an appropriate helpline. I have listed some Australian Crisis helpline number below.
