Frequently Asked Questions

I provide trauma-informed and attachment-based therapy, drawing on family systems approaches, nervous system-informed thinking, schema therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My work is strengths-based and collaborative, supporting you to heal at your own pace and reconnect with your inner resources.

Therapy provides a supportive space to understand and heal the impact of trauma and relationship difficulties on your life. Through a collaborative process, we can uncover how past experiences shape your current patterns—emotionally, relationally, and even physically. By building awareness, self-compassion, and tools for regulation, therapy helps you move toward healing, restore a sense of safety, and foster more connected, authentic relationships—with yourself and others.

Yes! I warmly welcome neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD, autism, and other ways of being. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, respectful environment that honours your unique needs and experiences.

No- as a registered counsellor in Australia, I am not eligible to offer Medicare rebates.

In our first session, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, your hopes for the process, and how you currently understand your challenges. I’ll usually take a family and personal history using a systemic and trauma-informed lens, helping us make sense of the broader context. We’ll also hold space for whatever is present in the moment—emotionally, physically, or relationally—and begin shaping a direction for our work together that feels meaningful and safe for you.

My work tends to go deeper than short-term or brief intervention models. While many clients attend between 6- 10 sessions, the duration can vary depending on your goals, needs, and the nature of your journey.

Please book an individual session first so we can connect and clarify your needs. You can book through my website or contact me directly by email.

Your privacy is deeply respected. Everything you share in therapy is held confidentially, in line with the ethical guidelines of the Australian Counselling Association.

There are some limits to confidentiality required by law and professional responsibility. These include situations where there is a risk of serious harm, concerns about the safety of a child or vulnerable person, or where information is required by a court.

If any of these situations arise, I will always aim to discuss this with you openly and respectfully before taking any action.

I keep brief clinical notes to support the continuity and quality of your care. I also engage in professional supervision as part of ethical practice. Any information shared in supervision is de-identified to protect your privacy.

I’m based in Anglesea, Victoria, and work from a private residential space. Full details are provided once your booking is confirmed. I also offer online sessions upon request.

Yes. I welcome and affirm clients of all genders, sexualities, and identities. My practice is a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families. I honor the diversity of lived experiences and understand how societal and relational dynamics can impact mental health and identity.

That’s completely normal. I can offer a no-pressure conversation on request to help you explore whether we’re a good fit and to answer any questions you might have before beginning therapy.
