I provide trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and neurodivergent-affirming counselling for adults across Australia, focusing on complex trauma, grief, relational challenges, and identity-based stress.

Yes, the Sydney Road location in Brunswick is wheelchair accessible with the Brunswick Train Station 8-minutes from the office.

We encourage you to discuss any sensitivities and preferences for your appointments, inclusive of requesting your counsellor where a mask in session, low lighting, low noise, specific trigger items not be present, etc. Both Onsite spaces have sound proofing, quieter spaces and rooms, as well as adjustable lighting. Please reach out today to discuss your needs and we will work to accommodate them.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to counselling. In fact, many people start when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what they need - just knowing that something isn’t quite right. Some signs you might be ready: You’re tired of carrying something alone Have something specific you have experienced You’re curious about understanding yourself more deeply You’re struggling with specific challenges (grief, trauma, relationships, identity, etc.) You’re noticing patterns you want to shift You’re simply wanting support and a safe space to unpack or talk things out. Starting counselling doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re ready to explore, heal, and grow. We go at your pace, you don’t need to have the right words, and bringing all the messiness is encouraged. Just showing up for yourself is a great first step.

No referral or mental health care plan is required to work with counsellors, and there are no limits to the amount of sessions you can attend.
