I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting, child and adolescent issues, postpartum support, trauma, and abuse.

All sessions are 50 minutes. My fees are $160 for individuals and $200 for couples. Unfortunately in Australia at this stage, only Psychologists can offer medicare rebates through the mental health care plan. I do not offer any no-fee or bulk billing as I work in Private Practice, you may be able to find this type of service elsewhere in your local area. I understand not everyone is able to afford full fees, you may submit an application for Sliding Scale consideration through this form https://thegentlecounsellor.com/financial-assistance

My in-person sessions are held at my office in Oxenford (Gold Coast, QLD Australia). For privacy reasons, the street address is provided in the pre-appointment reminder email.

Yes. I offer video online sessions through Halaxy Telehealth.

I support clients holistically by incorporating numerous approaches such as Attachment Theory, person-centred, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-informed, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Gottman, and EMDR. The counselling experience is unique to each client. I prefer to work outside of the medical mental health model.
