Hi, I'm Kris — a credentialed mental health professional based in Australia. Over the years, I've supported people through a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, low motivation, confidence, relationship and self-worth issues, career changes, and depression. I've also worked extensively in post-disaster recovery, helping individuals and communities rebuild their sense of safety, resilience, and hope.
My experience supporting veterans, families, and people recovering from crisis has shaped my approach: compassionate, strengths-based, and grounded in real-life understanding. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and judgment-free — a space where you can be yourself.
Reaching out for support takes courage, and I honour that. My goal is to help you build resilience, make sense of what you're going through, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentic. We'll work together at your pace, and in a way that feels right for you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
