Therapy and Coaching for Lasting Change

Please note that until further notice, all consultations will be Teletherapy sessions. Many of my clients already have their sessions this way and find that it works well for them. Teletherapy also makes it possible for me to work with you wherever you are in Australia or, indeed, the world! Please be assured that to protect your privacy, all online sessions are conducted via a secure end-to-end encrypted internet service which is very easy to use and you will not need to download any software. If you would like further information about how teletherapy sessions work, do please give me a call. 

During this period of uncertainty, depending on your individual circumstances, you may be eligible for a reduction in fees. 

Please also be aware that although counsellors and psychotherapists are not covered by Medicare, our fees are often very similar to the "gap" between what Medicare actually pays for your sessions and what many mental health professionals charge.

Please stay safe:)

Unless you have a diagnosable condition such as psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or major depression, the chances are you are not suffering from "mental illness"  though you may be struggling with some of your thought processes and emotions. The impact of world and local events (covid-19; climate change; war; floods) has led to an increase in feelings of anxiety, confusion and uncertainty for many people and I have been helping individuals manage their emotional wellbeing via a combination of counselling and Coherence Coaching. This often involves just a couple of sessions during which I assist you to develop a personalised program for improving your emotion regulation using easy-to-learn mindfulness and biofeedback techniques. To find out more, do please give me a call for an obligation-free chat on 0419331457.

I have been running my practice in Williamstown since 2002 and have a strong preference for brief solution-oriented approaches so that most of my clients are helped within very few sessions. 

Many people make contact with me as the result of a personal or professional referral but a referral is not necessary to make an appointment. 

Do explore this website to get a feel for the kind of work I do and if you have any questions you would like to ask, please don't hesitate to send me an email or call me on 0419 331 457 - I look forward to hearing from you.
