Pricing
I believe in fee transparency so that you can focus entirely on your wellbeing during our sessions. My rates reflect my academic background (MSc Psychology) and my deep clinical training in Integrative and Trauma-Informed counselling and psychotherapy.
No GP referral required for any service.
Private health insurance rebates not currently available.
The Foundation Session
$300
A comprehensive 90-minute first session. This extended time allows us to map out your history, identify your goals, and establish a safe, relational foundation.
Ongoing Therapy
$170
A standard 50-minute therapeutic hour. These sessions are the “heart” of our work, where we dive into the three pillars of my approach: integrative, relational, and trauma-informed.
*Existing clients only. If you are new to my practice, please book a ’90-Minute Foundation Session’ to begin our work together. Ongoing 50-minute sessions are available once our initial orientation is in place.
Carers
$150
This reduced rate for ongoing therapy is available for Family & Friend Carers to recognise the unique pressures of providing informal support to loved ones. I am committed to ensuring those who care for others have a space to be cared for themselves.
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”

Policies
My Commitment to Our Time
The therapeutic relationship is built on consistency and commitment. Because I move at a human pace, I only take a limited number of clients to ensure I can offer my full presence to each one. By honouring our scheduled time, we respect the capacity of the practice and the dedicated focus your journey deserves.
48-Hour Notice
If you need to reschedule or cancel our appointment, I kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice.
- Cancellations with 48+ hours’ notice: No fee will be charged.
- Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice: The full session fee will be charged.
Why this policy exists
As an online practitioner, late cancellations are difficult to fill, and they impact the sustainability of my practice. This policy ensures that I can keep my books open and provide a consistent service to the community.
Holiday Allowance & Consistency
To support long-term healing, I encourage regular sessions. However, rest is essential for us both.
- My Leave: I provide 4 weeks’ notice for my own planned breaks.
- Your Leave: You are entitled to 4 weeks of holiday allowance per year (pro-rata) where you can pause sessions without losing your recurring time slot.
