How we work together

The phone call first

Before your first session, we'll have a short 15 minute phone call — and it's completely free.

This call has one purpose: clarity. By the end of it, you'll know whether I'm the right fit for you, and I'll know whether I'm genuinely the right person to help you. I'll ask you to share a little about what's brought you here and what you're hoping to experience through therapy. There's no pressure and no wrong answers — it's simply a conversation so we can both feel good about taking the next step together.

If we both feel it's a yes, we'll book your first session. If it's not the right fit, I'll help you find someone who is. Either way, you'll leave that call with more clarity than you had before. 

What we actually work on

Most people come to therapy looking for tools and strategies to manage what they're feeling. And while those things absolutely have their place, what I'm most passionate about is going deeper than the symptoms — to understand why they're there in the first place.

Think of it this way: if someone is losing blood, we can give them a transfusion to stabilise them. But what we really need to know is why they're losing blood at all — and fix that. Therapy works the same way. Your anxiety, your exhaustion, your disconnection — these aren't the problem. They're the signal. And that's what we work on together.

This isn't quick fix territory. This is the real work. The kind that creates change that actually lasts. T

Your first session

Your first session is 50 minutes and it works a little differently to the ones that follow.

I'll be listening carefully — not just to what you're saying, but to what I'm hearing underneath it. By the end of our time together, I'll share my observations with you: what I'm noticing, what might be contributing to what you're experiencing, and a possible path forward.

This is also your opportunity to experience what it actually feels like to be in the room with me — because the relationship between us matters enormously. Therapy isn't one size fits all, and neither are therapists. If at the end of our first session you feel like I'm not quite your person, no hard feelings at all. Genuinely. I'd rather you find the right fit than stay somewhere that doesn't feel right. And if I don't think I'm the best person to support you, I'll tell you honestly and help you find someone who is.

The commitment I’d recommend

If we decide to move forward together, I recommend booking your first four sessions upfront.

Not because it's a rule — but because real change rarely happens in a single conversation. Booking those sessions in advance means your time is protected, your momentum is maintained, and you give yourself a genuine opportunity to experience what's possible. Four sessions is enough time to start going beneath the surface — and that's where the real shifts begin.

Sessions are 50 minutes and held online. For information about fees and Medicare rebates, head to the FAQs.
