Evidence-based, practical support for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm.
Anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional overwhelm can make everyday life feel harder than it needs to. You might notice changes in motivation, sleep, confidence, relationships, or your ability to manage work and family demands.
Individual therapy provides a confidential, collaborative space to understand what is keeping these difficulties going and to build practical strategies for change. The work is tailored to your circumstances, values, and goals, rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
My approach is warm, direct, and evidence-based. Drawing from frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and systemic thinking, we work together to identify unhelpful loops, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect you with the parts of life that matter most.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan?
No referral is required to begin individual therapy. Many clients choose to see their GP for a Mental Health Treatment Plan, which can provide a Medicare rebate for eligible sessions, but this is not a requirement to get started.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on what you are working through and what you would like to change. Some people benefit from a smaller number of focused sessions, while others prefer ongoing support over a longer period. We will review progress together rather than assuming a fixed number of sessions from the outset.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an opportunity to talk through what has brought you to therapy, what you have already tried, and what you would like to be different. From there, we work together to build a shared understanding of what is happening and a plan for moving forward.
Is individual therapy confidential?
Yes. What you share in sessions is confidential, with the usual legal and safety-related exceptions that apply to all psychological practice—these will be explained clearly if they become relevant.
Why in-home therapy rather than a clinic?
Some people prefer the comfort and convenience of a familiar environment, and home visits remove the time and practical demands of travelling to an appointment. A reasonably private and comfortable space is needed for the session.
What if I'm not sure whether therapy is the right step?
That uncertainty is common and doesn't need to be resolved before reaching out. An initial conversation can help clarify whether individual therapy is likely to be useful, or whether another kind of support would be a better fit.
