Question 3

How do I know if counselling is right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused, stuck, or ashamed about your experiences in relationships, counselling can offer a safe space to help you unpack and assess your situation. Counselling is also a great place to heal from past hurtful experiences.

How do I book a session?

I offer competitive, sliding-scale fees depending on individual circumstances. Please get in touch to discuss options.

Do you offer in person sessions?

Accepted Answer

Currently, I only offer online counselling sessions to support flexibility and accessibility. However, in certain circumstances I may be able to do in person counselling sessions in the Brisbane area. Get in touch and we can talk it through.

Question 8

What if I’ve used violence in my relationship, can I still come to counselling?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. I provide a non-judgmental space for people wanting to understand and change their behaviour. I can help you discover where the root of the behaviour stems from and give strategies to help change the behaviour.

Question 9

What if I’m currently in a relationship where I experience violence and abuse, can I still come to see you?

Accepted Answer

If you are currently experiencing violence or abuse, it’s best for you to contact a Domestic and Family violence service who can assess your situation. A good starting point is calling 1800Respect or you can make contact, and I'll send you a list of services in your local area.
