Therapy Services

  • Individual therapy is one-to-one psychological support for people who want to better understand themselves and work through the difficulties they are facing.

    I offer traditional talk-based therapy that is collaborative, evidence-informed, and person-centred. Therapy may be practical and skills-based. It may also involve looking more closely at why something is happening, what may be maintaining it, and what current ways of coping are trying to manage. Often, it is a combination of both.

    In the early sessions, we usually focus on understanding what has brought you to therapy, what you would like to be different, and what support may be useful. From there, sessions remain purposeful but flexible. This means therapy has a clear focus, while still being responsive to what is happening in your life and what feels most important at the time.

    Therapy can help people build practical skills, strengthen emotional regulation, improve self-understanding, notice patterns, and make changes that support everyday life.

    I provide therapy for children, teenagers, and adults. The way therapy looks will depend on the person’s age, needs, and goals.

    Sessions are available Australia-wide by telephone or Microsoft Teams. In-office appointments are not currently available.

  • Therapy with children often focuses on helping them understand emotions, build coping skills, communicate needs, manage anxiety or frustration, and navigate everyday challenges at home, school, and in relationships.

    For younger children, therapy often includes parent involvement. This is because children usually need support from the adults around them to practise skills, feel safe, and apply strategies outside of the therapy session.

    Sessions may include conversation, visual supports, practical strategies, emotion education, problem-solving, and parent coaching. The focus is adjusted to the child’s age, developmental stage, communication style, and capacity to engage.

    Therapy may support areas such as:

    • Emotional regulation

    • Anxiety and worry

    • Behavioural or emotional outbursts

    • School-related stress

    • Social understanding

    • Self-esteem and confidence

    • Neurodevelopmental differences, including autism and ADHD

    • Family changes, grief, adjustment, or life stress

  • Therapy with teenagers is usually provided as individual 1:1 therapy. This gives the young person space to speak openly, build trust, and develop their own understanding of what they are experiencing.

    Sessions are semi-structured, while still being responsive to the young person’s needs, mood, and presentation on the day.

    Therapy with teenagers often centres on emotion regulation, self-understanding, social understanding, anxiety, identity, school stress, family relationships, and day-to-day coping skills.

    Parent involvement can still be important. I usually recommend periodic parent sessions or parent check-ins to provide updates, support carryover of strategies at home, and offer parent coaching where helpful. This is balanced with the young person’s privacy and therapeutic trust.

    Therapy may support areas such as:

    • Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm

    • Low mood or emotional withdrawal

    • Emotional regulation

    • Self-esteem and self-understanding

    • Social difficulties or friendship stress

    • Autism, ADHD, and neurodivergent identity

    • School refusal or reduced school engagement

    • Sleep, routines, and daily functioning

    • Family communication

    • Coping with change, grief, or adjustment

  • Therapy with adults provides a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand patterns that may be affecting wellbeing, relationships, work, parenting, study, or daily life.

    Adult therapy may focus on current stressors, longer-standing patterns, emotional regulation, anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, burnout, adjustment, or neurodivergent experiences.

    My approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions may involve exploring what is happening, identifying patterns, building insight, developing coping strategies, and making changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

    Therapy may support areas such as:

    • Anxiety and stress

    • Low mood

    • Emotional regulation

    • Trauma and difficult life experiences

    • Relationship patterns

    • Parenting stress

    • Burnout and overwhelm

    • Adjustment to change

    • Grief and loss

    • Autism, ADHD, and neurodivergent self-understanding

    • Self-worth, boundaries, and communication

  • Therapy sessions are billed at $250.00 per 50-minute session.

    Private fee-paying clients are welcome and do not need a referral.

    Medicare rebates may be available with an appropriate referral from your GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Medicare rebates are not available for all sessions or all clients, and eligibility depends on Medicare requirements.

    For eligible clients, the current Medicare rebate for a 50-minute telehealth psychology session with a registered psychologist is $98.95. This rebate amount is set by Medicare and may change.

    Sessions are paid in full at the time of appointment. If you are eligible for a Medicare rebate, you can then submit your claim to Medicare for reimbursement.

    I also work with NDIS participants where funding is self-managed or plan-managed, and where psychology support aligns with the person’s NDIS plan goals.

    Sessions are available Australia-wide by telephone or Microsoft Teams. In-office appointments are not currently available.
