I am located in a gorgeous terrace in Darby St Cooks Hill, a popular and vibrant neighbourhood, central to Newcastle CBD, nestled among boutiques, cafes and independent specialty stores. This place feels unique and that's why I am here. My counselling space is designed to feel safe, cosy and homely. The moment you step off Darby St and enter through the timber door, you know you are in a healing space, it's calm and grounded. Walk through to our charming waiting area, take a seat, settle in, and breathe. There's no rush here. I'll meet you downstairs and welcome you, we'll spend some moments getting to know the place and becoming acquainted. Old school hospitality comes first. My counselling room is upstairs, a calm little nest set away from the street, overlooking inner city roof tops. It really feels like a departure from the world outside, and that is intentional. This time is yours. I've created a space that is safe, where you can talk about whatever is bothering you. I'll walk alongside you each step of the way, I'll listen without judgement and guide the process. I respect that you are the expert in your own life and story. My specialty is to hold the space for you, to connect and listen. I recommend at least 3 -4 sessions on a weekly basis to establish our connection or therapeutic alliance - to get to know the problems you are experiencing and to consider the direction of therapy. I will select therapeutic modalities and interventions based on what you bring and the changes you would like to make in your life. I work in person and online depending on what suits you.
