SUPPORT
THAT IS EFFECTIVE, PRACTICAL,
AND TAILORED TO YOU
People will often reach out when something feels wrong, things feel harder than usual, or they are no longer manageable in the way that it once was.
To get support, you don’t need to fit a label or have everything clearly defined.
We just start with what’s going on for you—and then we work together from there.

How Sessions Work
Sessions are relaxed, conversational, and focused on what’s most useful for you.
We’ll work together to:
-
Understand what’s contributing to the difficulty
-
Make sense of patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviour
-
Develop practical strategies you can use in your everyday life
-
Help you feel clearer, more steady, and more in control
There’s no pressure to “perform” or explain everything perfectly.
We take it step by step, at a pace that is right for you.
In our work together, I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, depending on what suits you best, including:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Clinical Hypnosis
-
Solution-Focused approaches
-
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

I work with a range of clients, including those accessing support through:
Medicare
(e.g. Mental Health Care & Treatment Plans)
TAC
Work Safe

Private Health Insurance
Private (self-funded) clients
Fees & Payments
Payment is made at the end of each session via bank transfer.
If you’re accessing sessions through Medicare, I can process your rebate once payment has been received, making the process easy and straightforward for you.
If you’re unsure what applies to your situation, you’re very welcome to ask—I’m happy to guide you through your options.
