- ACA
I am an Australia-based counsellor with over 13 years of experience supporting teenagers and adults through life’s challenges with compassion, empathy and practical guidance. I have support clients who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence challenges, eating disorders, and mid-life transitions.
I take a warm, person-centred and non-judgemental approach, creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood and validated. I believe every person’s journey is unique, and I work alongside my clients to help them build resilience, gain clarity and create meaningful, lasting change.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming and takes real courage. My role is to support and empower you as you navigate healing, growth and the next chapter of your life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

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.
