Is this you?

You might be:

  • Struggling with self-worth, shame, or perfectionism

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need to live in Melbourne to work with you?
No. Sessions are online. Many clients are in Melbourne and regional Victoria; others join from around Australia.

Is telehealth as effective as in-person therapy?
For many clients, yes. It’s private, convenient, and makes it easier to attend regularly — which is key for making progress.

Do I need a GP referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan?
No referral is required to book. Medicare rebates for counselling vary by provider type, and many clients choose private pay.

What kinds of issues do you help with?
I work with clients on anxiety, stress, low self-worth, shame, identity and life transitions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and feeling stuck or disconnected.

How soon can I start?
Usually this week. You can book a free 15-minute consult to get started.
