- ACA
I am a Level 3 registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association and hold over 10 years of professional experience in mental health, education, and community services. I have supported individuals across diverse backgrounds in navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centred, and culturally responsive, drawing on my background in both counselling and community work to provide holistic support.
I believe that every person holds the wisdom and strength to overcome their challenges, and my role is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and genuine care as you work toward healing and growth. Taking the first step to reach out for support can take courage, and I’m truly proud of you for beginning this journey toward your wellbeing.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
