FAQs

  • That’s completely okay. You don’t need to have a clear goal or story; just bring whatever feels present for you, and we’ll begin from there.

  • Counsellors in private practice aren’t currently eligible to offer Medicare rebates or accept Mental Health Care Plans. Sessions are paid for privately, meaning you don’t need a referral to book or to commit to a set number of sessions. This allows us to work at a pace that suits you, without the pressure of a limited session block.

  • Each session provides a safe and confidential environment to explore whatever challenges or feelings you are experiencing. You do not need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. Sessions progress at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you at the time.

  • No referral is required. You can contact me directly whenever you feel ready to begin counselling.

  • The frequency of sessions varies for each individual. Some find weekly appointments helpful, while others prefer fortnightly or more occasional visits. Together, we can determine a suitable schedule that best supports your needs and goals description

What to expect in a Counselling Session.

A conversation, not an interrogation

You don't need to have everything figured out before you come to counselling. Many people arrive unsure where to start, and that's completely okay. We begin with what's happening in your life right now and go from there.

A safe and confidential space

Counselling sessions take place in a private and confidential setting. What you share remains confidential, except in situations where there are concerns about your safety or the safety of others. These limits will be explained clearly during our first session.

At a pace that feels right for you

There is no pressure to tell your whole story in one session. Counselling is a process, and we move at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable for you.

Working together

Counselling isn't about being told what to do. Together, we'll explore what's bringing you here, make sense of what may be contributing to the challenges you're facing, and identify what might help you move forward.
