Overview

I offer in-person sessions in Balcatta, and in the CBD, with online and walk-and-talk options available. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centred, providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change. I support clients with: Anxiety and stress Depression and low mood Grief and loss Life transitions Relationship challenges Emotional and psychological difficulties LOCATIONS: Sessions are typically held in person in Balcatta. If you have specific needs around time or location, feel free to get in touch and we can explore what might be possible. Walk-and-talk sessions begin with an initial in-person meeting at one of the practices, after which we determine if this approach suits you. Secure online (telehealth) sessions are also available, providing flexible access to support. A telehealth link will be provided after booking. WHAT TO EXPECT: Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs, supporting self-understanding, emotional clarity, and sustainable wellbeing. You are welcome to share at your own pace in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment. I am a registered provider with Bupa and GU Health. Clients with eligible private health cover may be able to claim rebates depending on their level of cover. NDIS self-managed clients welcome.
