Overview
I have been working as a counsellor for over 10 years. I specialise in phone and online counselling (chat, email and video chat) and I provide traditional in person counselling as well. I can help with almost anything ... nothing is too big or too small and please don't be embarrassed about anything!
I am based in Sydney (NSW), Australia, but happy to work with people in other cities/states within Australia or other countries around the world. For international support, appropriate timing needs to be negotiated for sessions or timely responses.
Contact me on 0406 247 066 to book an appointment or have a chat about how I can support you.
