Your Safe Space Awaits

I know that taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting. You might be wondering if your struggles are β€œserious enough” or if talking to someone will really help. Let me assure you - whatever you're facing, your feelings are valid and deserving of support.

🌟 A Warm, Non-Judgmental Space

In our sessions, you'll find a warm, non-judgmental environment where we can explore your challenges at your own pace.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety that keeps you awake at night, navigating difficult relationships, processing past experiences, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

🎯 Your Unique Journey

There's no one-size-fits-all approach here - your therapy journey will be as unique as you are. We'll work together to find strategies that fit your life and values, creating meaningful change in your relationships, career, and overall wellbeing.

⏰ Flexible Support When You Need It

With flexible telehealth appointments available outside traditional 9-5 hours, including evenings, you can access professional support when it works for your schedule. From the comfort and privacy of your own home, Medicare rebates, NDIS funding, and private health coverage help make quality mental health care accessible.

Remember, seeking support isn't a sign of weakness - it's an act of courage and self-care.

When you're ready to take that step, I'm here to walk alongside you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a psychologist and counsellor?

Psychologists have advanced university training in psychological assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatments. As a registered psychologist, I can provide formal diagnoses, Medicare-rebated services, and comprehensive psychological interventions.

Can I claim Medicare rebates?

Yes, if you have a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. Medicare rebates are available for eligible services. I'm also registered with private health funds and NDIS.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Research shows telehealth therapy is equally effective for most mental health concerns. Many clients find it more convenient and comfortable, especially for anxiety-related issues. We use secure, encrypted platforms for complete confidentiality.
