Looking for counselling or EMDR therapy in Brisbane?

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. We’ll discuss what’s brought you to therapy and what you hope to get out of our work together. Sessions run for 50 minutes. You don’t need to prepare anything special for our first meeting, but if you have, that’s okay too. Just come as you are. There’s no pressure to share everything right away; you can go at your own pace. This is just the beginning of our work together.

That’s completely okay! Therapy is simply a space for you to explore and untangle your thoughts, feelings, and experiences together in a way that feels safe, supportive and with no judgement. It’s completely normal to feel a bit nervous at first- many people do! But most find they start to relax as we talk. no pressure to share everything at once - we go at your pace.

I don't take Mental Health Care Plans or offer rebates. My fees are set to provide ongoing support without the session limits that typically come with rebate schemes. If you're looking for ongoing therapy that might extend beyond any limits, my practice offers flexibility to continue sessions as needed. If you need a progress letter for your GP, I'm more than happy to provide one - just let me know.

Sessions are 50 minutes long, except for EMDR which may run on additional time.

My fees are:

• $160 per standard session

• $170 for EMDR therapy

Most new clients start with weekly sessions for the first 6-8 weeks to build a strong foundation. Many choose to continue weekly, while others shift to fortnightly. It’s entirely up to you—I’ll support whatever pace feels right.

Finding the right therapist is important! My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative. I focus on helping you reconnect with yourself, make sense of past experiences, and move forward in a way that feels empowering. If you’re unsure, take a look at [insert link] to see if we’d be a good fit.

I believe therapy works best when it’s a collaborative effort. You’re the expert on your life—I’m here to help you make sense of things, offer guidance, and explore new perspectives. My work is trauma-informed, person-centered, and deeply relational, with a mix of practical strategies and deeper healing work tailored to your needs.

There’s no set timeline—everyone’s journey is different. Some people come in for a few sessions to work through a specific challenge, while others engage in longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns and personal growth. You’re always in control—you can pause, stop, or change the frequency of sessions whenever you need.

I offer in-person therapy in Brisbane and online therapy across Australia and internationally. No matter where you are, we can work together.

I do not work with clients who are in high-risk crisis situations or require intensive crisis intervention. If you are experiencing acute distress, suicidal thoughts, or require immediate support, I strongly encourage you to reach out to crisis services such as Lifeline (13 11 14), your GP, or a crisis mental health team in your area. Therapy with me is best suited for individuals looking for ongoing support, personal growth, and healing in a safe, structured space.

In your first EMDR session, we’ll discuss what’s bringing you to therapy and explain how EMDR works. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, focus on building trust, and begin creating a plan that feels safe and manageable.

EMDR therapy works by gently stimulating both sides of the brain through techniques like guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds. While doing this, you bring a distressing memory or feeling to mind.  This helps your brain reprocess how that memory is stored. This doesn’t mean you’re erasing the memory, instead you’re shifting its emotional charge, making it feel less overwhelming over time.

Not at all. One of the benefits of EMDR therapy is that you don’t need to go into every detail of your experience. The focus is on helping your brain reprocess what happened in a way that feels safe and manageable, without needing to relive it all.

Many people who engage in EMDR therapy report feeling more balanced and less reactive to emotional triggers. It can support in reducing the intensity of anxiety, trauma-related symptoms and ongoing stress, making daily life feel more manageable.

The number of EMDR sessions depends on your goals and what you'd like support with. Some people notice shifts after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from a longer process, especially when working through long-term stress or complex trauma. We’ll check in regularly and adjust the pace together, making sure each step feels manageable and aligned with what you need.

Each session is 50-60 minutes long

My fees are:

• $170 (including GST)
