Welcome to my bio :-).

I am known for my warm and empathetic nature.

My aim in therapy is to create a trusting and collaborative space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions, resourcing you internally and externally to cope with whatever challenges/issues you bring to counselling.

Being a Level 4 counsellor with the Australian Counsellor's association I have had the privilege of working with clients for 13 years. In these years I have worked with many issues that a person can experience in this "thing called life" : anxiety and stress, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma and grief and loss.

I strongly believe there is always hope when times are dark. Counselling can support you to find the light.

I look forward to working with you, encouraging and facilitating positive changes and improve your overall functioning and well-being.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
