Are you feeling stuck, disconnected, left behind or unsure about where you fit— in your friendships, work, faith or sense of self? Has this left you struggling with anxiety, disappointment, confusion, discouragement or a lack of motivation?
I provide person-centred, integrative counselling for young adults navigating life’s challenges — whether it’s managing the demands of life and study, uncertainty about your direction, family concerns and expectations or struggling with shifting relationships.
In a warm, faith-sensitive space, I bring curiosity and gentle challenge to help explore questions of identity, purpose, and belonging. Space is given to voice your concerns and hard-to-talk-about doubts; supporting you to reconnect with yourself and your values, and move toward greater clarity, confidence and hope in God’s unfolding plan for your life.
Definitions:
Person-centred counselling means that our work together is grounded in empathy, respect, and understanding. I believe you are the expert in your own life and I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental space where you feel truly heard. Rather than giving advice, I walk alongside you—helping you explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace.
Integrative counselling means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, rather than using just one. This allows me to tailor our sessions to suit your unique personality, needs, and goals. Whether it’s exploring your story through reflection, using practical tools for emotional regulation, or engaging with your Christian faith, we work together in a way that aims to feel meaningful and effective for you.
Pre-marriage education is offered, using the Prepare program.
Located at Modbury North, sessions from 10:30am to 4:30pm, Monday to Thursday , are available by appointment only.
The first session is approximately 60 minutes; this session establishes your reasons for coming to counselling, what you hope to achieve and relevant history taking.
Further counselling sessions are generally 60 minutes though longer sessions may be requested at the time of booking (for an additional fee).
On-line counselling sessions are available using Zoom. The same fee applies and pre-payment is required.
Counselling for children/youth
Working with children (17 years and younger) is recognised as a specialisation in Australia and therefore is outside the scope of my practice. I work with individuals from 18 years onwards.
Fees
Counselling sessions for individuals are $90.
Pre-marriage education is offered, using the Prepare program @ $99 per 60-90min session.
Payment by credit card, EFTPOS or EFT* arrangement is available. (*conditions apply)

A note about GP Mental Health Plans
At this stage, these cover Psychologist appointments only; be aware these are often subject to long wait lists and you may still incur a gap fee which is comparable to counselling session rates.
