Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect in the free 30-minute consultation?
This is a relaxed, no-pressure space for us to connect. You can share a little about what’s bringing you here, ask questions about how I work, and see if this feels like the right fit. There’s no obligation — just an opportunity to be heard and supported in a meaningful way.

​

How long are sessions?
Standard sessions run for 90 minutes. 

​

What is the cost per session?
Fees are $160 AUD per session.

​

Do I need a referral?
No referral is necessary. You’re welcome to reach out and book in directly.

​

Can I do sessions online?
Yes. I offer secure, private online sessions for clients across Australia and beyond. Many people find this just as effective as in-person sessions.  Online sessions also suit many people living in remote areas or who may have other circumstances preventing them from attending sessions in person.  

​

Is there parking available onsite?
Yes, there is free parking available onsite for all in-person sessions.

​

Are after-hours sessions available?
Yes — I offer a limited number of after-hours appointments. If this suits your schedule better, please let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

​

Will I be in therapy forever?
No — therapy isn’t meant to last forever. Some people come for a short time to work through something specific, while others choose a deeper or longer journey. You’re always in charge of how long we work together.

​

How many sessions will I need?
Everyone’s healing journey is different. Some people find a few sessions helpful for immediate support, while others benefit from a longer-term process. We’ll check in regularly and adjust as your needs evolve.

​

How is a psychotherapist different from a psychologist?
Trained psychotherapists  use evidence-based approaches and tend to work more relationally and holistically — exploring emotional patterns, deep-rooted experiences, and the inner life. My soul-centred approach also brings in and integrates energetic aspects of healing (energy psychology), mindfulness, trance, somatic work, and EMDR (bilateral processing) for trauma.  Psychologists often work with clinical diagnoses using structured evidence based treatments such as CBT, ACT and DBT.

​

How is a psychotherapist different from a counsellor?
There’s some overlap, but psychotherapy generally involves more in-depth, longer-term work and training in areas like trauma and complex emotional processing. Psychotherapists also engage in their own personal inner work in order to maintain a deep level of presence with their clients.  Counselling is often shorter-term (sometimes referred to as 'talk-therapy') and focused on immediate life challenges.

​

Can I use a Mental Health Care Plan?
I don’t work under the Medicare system, so Mental Health Care Plans and rebates don’t apply. The benefit of this is that everything we do stays completely private — your sessions and personal details aren’t shared within government health records. It also means we have the freedom to work in a way that best supports you, without limits on session numbers or the need for a formal diagnosis.
