Services
Individual Counselling
Individual counselling provides a safe, supportive, and confidential space to explore your experiences, gain insight, and work towards meaningful change.
I use a trauma-informed approach, recognising the impact that past experiences can have on emotional wellbeing, relationships, and daily life. My focus is on creating a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the counselling process. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, life transitions, low self-esteem, trauma, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, counselling can help you develop practical strategies, build resilience, and create lasting positive change. Together, we can work towards enhancing your wellbeing, strengthening your sense of self, and helping you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Couples Counselling
Relationships can be a source of connection, support, and fulfilment, but they can also experience periods of conflict, disconnection, and stress. Couples counselling provides a safe and supportive space for partners to explore challenges, strengthen communication, and work towards a healthier, more satisfying relationship. I take a trauma-informed approach, recognising that past experiences, attachment patterns, and life circumstances can influence how we relate to one another. My aim is to create a respectful and collaborative environment where both partners feel heard, understood, and supported. I help couples develop deeper emotional connection, improve communication, navigate conflict more effectively, and strengthen trust and understanding. I also integrate strategies from other therapeutic modalities where appropriate, tailoring sessions to meet the unique needs and goals of each couple.
Couples counselling can support partners experiencing communication difficulties, recurring conflict, intimacy concerns, life transitions, parenting challenges, relationship dissatisfaction, betrayal or trust issues, and the impacts of stress, anxiety, or other personal challenges on the relationship. Together, we can work towards building a stronger, more connected partnership and creating positive, lasting change within your relationship.
Children's Counselling
Children's counselling provides a safe, supportive, and age-appropriate environment where young people can express their thoughts and feelings, develop coping skills, and build emotional resilience.
I work collaboratively with children and their families to understand their unique experiences and support positive growth and development. Counselling may assist with concerns such as anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem, friendship difficulties, family changes, school-related stress, behavioural challenges, grief and loss, and other life transitions. I engage children through play and activities to assist them to feel comfortable. Through a compassionate and strengths-based approach, children can gain greater confidence, self-awareness, and practical skills to help them navigate life's challenges.
Parenting Support
Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also bring challenges, uncertainty, and stress. Parenting support counselling provides a confidential space to explore concerns, strengthen communication, and develop practical strategies for managing family relationships. Whether you're navigating behavioural issues, family transitions, co-parenting arrangements, or the everyday demands of raising children, counselling can help you build confidence, improve understanding, and foster a more positive family environment. Support is tailored to your family's unique needs and goals, helping you respond to challenges with greater clarity and resilience.
Tuning into Kids/Teens Parenting Program
Tuning in to Kids and Tuning in to Teens are evidence-based parenting programs that help parents better understand and respond to their child's emotions. The programs teach practical skills to strengthen connection, improve communication, and support emotional wellbeing. These programs normally run in a group format providing 1 session per week over a 6 week period. It can be difficult for many parents to commit to the set times each week, or sometimes just don't feel comfortable in the group settings. As a trained facilitator, I can take you through the programs in individual 1:1 sessions at times convenient to you and at your own pace.
Autism Support
With a Graduate Certificate in Autism Studies and practical experience working with the neurodiverse community, I provide counselling and support for neurodiverse individuals, parents, and families. For parents of children with an autism diagnosis, I offer education, guidance, and practical strategies to help better understand their child's needs, support communication, and respond to behavioural challenges in ways that are respectful and effective. Together, we can explore approaches that build on strengths, foster connection, and support your child's development and wellbeing. Advocacy support letters may be provide to assist with communicating support needs with schools. This can include explanations of challenges and strategies that may assist to meet your child's needs.
I also work with adults and couples where one or both partners are neurodiverse, providing a supportive space to develop self-understanding, navigate relationships, improve communication, and address challenges that may arise in daily life. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, recognising and valuing different ways of thinking, communicating, and experiencing the world.
Victims of Crime Assistance (VOCAT/FAS)
I provide trauma-informed counselling for individuals affected by violent crime who may be eligible for support through the Victorian Victims of Crime Financial Assistance Scheme (VOCAT/FAS). Counselling offers a safe and supportive space to process difficult experiences, manage the impacts of trauma, and develop coping strategies that support healing and recovery. Support is tailored to your individual needs, helping you regain a sense of safety, resilience, and wellbeing.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Supporting employee wellbeing is essential for a healthy and productive workplace. EAP counselling provides employees with confidential, professional support for personal and work-related challenges that may impact their wellbeing and performance.
Services can assist with stress, burnout, workplace conflict, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship concerns, family challenges, and significant life transitions. Flexible appointments are available via telehealth or phone. EAP arrangements can be tailored to the needs of your organisation. Please contact me to discuss EAP support for your workplace.
