Getting in touch doesn’t mean committing to anything.

It means finding out whether this is the right fit and the right time. That’s all. No pressure.

You don’t have to know what to say. You don’t have to have it figured out. A sentence is enough.

You’re not doing this alone.

What happens after you make contact.

I read every message myself. I reply within three working days.

What comes back isn’t a booking confirmation or an automated response. It’s a short, personal reply. I may ask one or two questions to understand where you are. I may suggest a place to start. There’s no pressure to book anything, and no assumption you will.

Getting in touch is only getting in touch. It’s my gift to you.

You don’t have to be in crisis to come.

A lot of people wait. It isn’t bad enough yet. Other people have it worse. I should be able to sort it out on my own.

Of course you’ve thought that. Most of the women who contact me have.

Here’s what I would like you to consider. The mild version qualifies. The version where you’re functioning fine on the outside and exhausted on the inside qualifies. The version where nothing dramatic has happened recently and you still cannot stop the pattern, no matter how much you’ve tried, qualifies.

You DO NOT have to earn this.

Send me a message.

If you’d rather write it down than say it out loud. This is the place. A sentence or two is fine. I’ll read it myself and reply within three working days.

Online, across Australia and overseas. I live and work on Dharawal country, based in Wollongong.

Where sessions happen.

Online, by secure video, anywhere in Australia or overseas. I don't see clients in person.

A note on costs and rebates.

I’m not a psychologist, so Medicare rebates don’t apply. This is not about ticking boxes. Some private health funds do cover Counselling. It might be worth a quick call to your fund to check.

There’s no waitlist for individual Counselling. There’s a short one for groups.

If you’re in immediate danger.
