Adult Counselling
in Wheelers Hill and Online
Many adults who come to counselling aren't just dealing with what's happening now - they're also beginning to notice how earlier experiences are shaping the way they respond to stress, to relationships, or to the people they love. That recognition can be the beginning of something important.
Counselling provides a space to explore it - gently, and at your own pace. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, or trauma, I work alongside you to make sense of what's been happening and find a way to move forward.
I offer sessions in person in Wheelers Hill, VIC, and online across Victoria.
Who I work with
I support adults who are experiencing:
-
Anxiety, stress, or persistent worry
-
Low mood, emotional exhaustion, or burnout
-
Trauma and the lasting impact of difficult past experiences
-
Grief and loss - including the loss of a person, a relationship, or a sense of identity
-
Identity shifts and life transitions - including parenthood, relationship changes, or career change
-
The emotional weight of parenting - including overwhelm, self-doubt, guilt, and the mental load of caring for a child with complex needs
-
Patterns in relationships or parenting responses that connect to your own early experiences\
You don't need to arrive with a clear diagnosis or a tidy explanation of what's wrong. Many people come simply knowing that something isn't right, and that they want support in working it out.
My approach
My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in your real-world context. I take the time to understand your unique history, circumstances, and goals - and work alongside you at a pace that feels right.
I draw on a range of evidence-based psychological approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, mindfulness, and psychoeducation. These approaches support you to better understand your emotional responses, develop practical coping strategies, and build lasting change in how you think, feel, and relate to others.
Alongside these, I also offer creative and expressive ways of working for those who are drawn to them - or who find that words alone don't always capture what they're carrying. This might include sand tray and figurine work, creative arts such as drawing and imagery, or reflective journalling and writing. These approaches aren't just for children - many adults find that working creatively opens up a different kind of depth and insight, allowing things to surface that are harder to access through conversation alone.
Therapy is never one size fits all. Whether you prefer a structured, skills-focused approach or something more exploratory and expressive - or a blend of both - sessions are always tailored to what feels most useful and meaningful for you.
Alongside your internal experience, I also consider the broader context of your life - your relationships, your history, the environments you move through each day - because lasting change rarely happens in isolation.
