Therapy that actually fits.

Individual counselling in Gawler. Practical, honest, and built around you — not a template.

WHAT I CAN HELP WITH

Neurodivergent Identity 

You've spent a long time adapting to spaces that weren't built for you. Here we work with how your brain actually works — not against it.

Mood and Wellbeing

Anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm. Not as labels to manage, but as experiences to understand and work through together.

Trauma & PTSD

Past experiences don't stay in the past. We work at your pace, using ACT and Schema Therapy to make sense of what happened and build capacity for what's next.

Identity, Sexuality & Relationships

You are genuinely welcome here, exactly as you are. This is an affirming, non-judgmental space for all identities, orientations, and relationship structures.

I also work with: anxiety & depression · ADHD & AuDHD · life changes & transitions · stress management · self-care & coping strategies · relationship dynamics · sexuality & self-exploration

How I work

I don't have a single method I apply to everyone. I use ACT to help you build a life based on what actually matters to you, Motivational Interviewing to work with your own reasons for change rather than imposing mine, Schema Therapy to understand the patterns that keep showing up, and mindfulness when it fits — not as a default.

What that looks like in practice is a conversation. Not a worksheet. Not a clipboard. A real exchange, where we figure out together what's useful and what isn't.

You don't need a referral to book. You're welcome to come once, or regularly, or irregularly— that's up to you.

FEES & ACCESS

Medicare & Rebates

If you have a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you're entitled to up to 10 Medicare rebates per calendar year. The current rebate is $87.25 per session.

Private health fund rebates may also apply — check with your fund.

NDIS & DVA

I welcome self-managed and plan-managed NDIS clients, and DVA card holders.

Not sure which applies to you? Get in touch and we'll figure it out.

Not sure if I'm the right fit? Book a free 15-minute intro session. Come and see the room, ask your questions, and get a feel for whether working together makes sense. No obligation. No awkward commitment.
