Taking bookings for January 2025 onward.

Very few people come to counselling feeling completely at ease. Making the decision to look for a counsellor means all is not comfortable or easy in your life and you would understandably like to implement change or find direction. It’s really important to remember that counselling is for everyday people having some difficulties, something we all experience at some stage in our life. There is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed of in seeing a therapist. Even so, for the majority, the idea of counselling can be daunting. It’s a personal experience where you share in depth and private details, often with a lot of questions being asked, making you open up even more than you might have expected. For some people opening up isn’t as hard as it is for others. Other people do not trust easily or are simply more introverted. No matter whether you pride yourself on being a free talker or you are more insular, there is always a fear of discussing your relationships, no matter which relationship that is, and discussing yourself openly.

It is imperative that you feel comfortable with the person you choose to listen to, guide and assist you. The first session is a good measure of how you feel with me as your counsellor and for the foundation to be laid about how we can  work together for the best possible outcome.

My practice has always been a caring, professional, directional service in a private, comfortable, non-clinical setting. I have a code of conduct and ethics that I adhere to that ensures the utmost privacy and protection of my client’s details at all times. I am an independent third party helping to assist you with absolutely no judgement. There is very little I haven’t heard, seen, experienced or worked with in over thirty years of clinical experience.

I pride myself on making people feel at ease and comfortable. You will generally talk to me prior to/while making an appointment, that often helps the process.

I currently provide a mix of Zoom and face-to-face sessions. To lean more please contact this practice via phone. The best times to speak to me personally is either between 10.30am-11am or between 3pm-4pm Mon-Fri. If I cannot answer your call, leave a message, and I will return your call when I am free.  

Zoom also allows me to counsel people near and far, including interstate and overseas. You do not have to have your children with a babysitter. If you have a disability or limited mobility, Zoom is also a great medium to use for therapy. 

Appointments: Phone 0416 665 165 between 10.00am and 6pm Monday – Friday. If I am unable to take your call, please leave a message with your enquiry, including your best contact details, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Late sessions available Mon-Thurs – 6.30pm start. Friday – 5.30pm start.

**If you are not a current client, I do not respond to text message enquiries. It is best to phone me. If I can’t take your call, leave a message. I will call or email you back when I am free.
