Support for the Supporters

You carry so much. Let’s create a space just for you.

For nine years, I have worked alongside carers within specialist charities. I’ve seen the beauty of the care you provide, but I’ve also seen the heavy stuff that comes with it: the burnout, the complicated grief, the loss of identity, and the physical toll of constant high-alert living. I’ve also had first hand experience of being a Carer and understand the toll it can take on your relationships and life.

My experience helped me identify a gap in support: counselling services specifically for carers. I built two counselling services for different charities to identify and support carers. Having designed these systems from the ground up, I know the complexities of the landscape and I deeply understand the struggle. I know that when your life is defined by looking after others, the hardest part can be finding a space where you are the one being looked after. My private practice is a dedicated continuation of that mission—a space where your story finally takes centre stage.

“You cannot pour from an empty cup. But more importantly, you deserve a cup that is filled simply because you exist, not just because of what you do for others.”

Why Carer-Specific Therapy?

Being a carer often means living at the middle or bottom rungs of the nervous system ladder—always scanning for needs, always ready to react.

Understanding ‘Carer Stress’: We explore the physiological impact of caregiving—why your gut is in knots or why you feel that constant brain fog.

A Space for ‘Taboo’ Feelings: Guilt, resentment, and exhaustion are human responses to a superhuman workload. Here, those feelings are safe to speak.

Identity Beyond Care: Helping you find the you that exists outside of your caring role. Reclaiming your time and identity from the systemic expectations of your role.

Expertise Across Every Life Stage

Caring looks different at nineteen than it does at seventy, and the emotional toll has its own unique nuance at every stage of life. In my nine years of experience, I have learned that whether you are a young person just finding your way or an older adult navigating a lifetime of change, your experience deserves a space that respects the specific context of your journey.

By acknowledging the different pressures we face as we age, we can better understand how the role of ‘carer’ impacts our identity, our health, and our nervous system. I am experienced in supporting all age groups and provide a trauma-informed environment tailored to the distinct challenges you are currently facing:

Young Adult Carers (16-25):

Navigating the weight of balancing your own developing identity, education, or early career with the significant responsibilities of care. It can often feel like your ‘youth’ is on hold while your peers move forward.

The ‘Sandwich’ Generation:

Those caught in the middle—balancing the care of children with the increasing needs of aging parents, often while managing a career and your own health.

Older Adult Carers:

Caring for a spouse, partner, or adult child in later life brings a profound shift in relationship dynamics. I understand the unique isolation that can occur here, the physical toll on your own aging body, and the ‘anticipatory grief’ that comes when the person you’ve known for a lifetime changes before your eyes.

My Commitment to You

I know that the financial load of being a carer can be significant. Because of my deep roots in this community, I offer a reduced rate for primary carers.

Carer Rate: $150 per session (Reduced from $170)

Format: Online via secure video (Flexible enough to fit around your caring schedule).

The Approach: Trauma-informed and relational. Just two humans, focusing on your needs for a change.
To be clear: our sessions do not have to revolve around your caring role. While we can certainly explore the feelings that role stirs up, this reduced rate is simply a way to recognise the pressures you are under and ease the financial load. This is your space to talk about anything that matters to you.
