Live Freely.
Feel Fully.


A confidential, calm space to explore what’s beneath the surface, where understanding leads to meaningful change.

About Me

I’m a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with PACFA, drawn to understanding people and the stories that shape who they are.

I hold a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology. I believe therapy works best when it feels real, a grounded, honest conversation that allows space for reflection, insight and growth.

I’ve supported clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other complex emotional challenges, aiming to create a space where they feel understood, respected, and safe to explore change. I see therapy as a space where genuine change and self-understanding can unfold.

My Approach

My approach is person-centred and trauma-informed, guided by the belief that therapy works best when it feels real and honest.

I aim to create a steady, supportive space where we can explore what lies beneath distress and understand how to make sense of your experiences. My work draws on emotion-focused and experiential models, adapting to each client’s needs, and pace.

Sessions are reflective and conversational — a chance to slow down, connect with yourself, and move toward what feels genuine, meaningful, and possible.

Reaching out can feel like a big step. If you’d like to start a brief conversation with me, I’m happy to talk about what you’re looking for and how I might be able to support you.

 Getting Help

Whatever brings you here, there’s a path forward. Below are some of the areas I commonly support people with, from anxiety and grief to life transitions and trauma. Each represents a space to explore what’s been happening and move toward greater clarity and balance.

  • Anxiety &
    Overthinking
    When your mind won’t switch off, therapy can help you understand what’s driving the worry and find ways to calm your nervous system.
  • Depression &
    Low Mood
    Together we explore what’s been weighing you down, helping you reconnect with purpose and ease.
  • Grief &
    Loss
    Loss changes everything. Talking about it helps you carry the memory with gentleness, not isolation.
  • Trauma & Past
    Experiences
    Trauma therapy offers a way to feel safe again — to understand, process, and live beyond survival mode.
  • Relationships &
    Boundaries
    Learn to communicate more openly, set boundaries kindly, and strengthen how you relate to others.
  • Life Transitions &
    Purpose
    When life feels uncertain, therapy can help you realign with your values and direction.

Working Together

 Therapy looks different for everyone, together we’ll find the format that feels most comfortable and supportive for you.

In Person

In-person appointments are available via Wellshare, they offers a quiet, comfortable place to talk.

Current locations Penrith, Surry Hills, Pyrmont, St Leonards, Caringbah and Sydney CBD.

Online

Secure video sessions allow you to access therapy from wherever you feel most at ease.

Ideal for flexibility, travel limitations, or balancing commitments, these sessions maintain the same care and depth as meeting in person.

By Phone

For those who prefer to speak rather than being on camera, phone sessions offer a calm, and personal way to connect.

They provide space to connect, talk things through, and engage from wherever you feel most at ease.

 FAQs

  • A quick chat works best. We’ll check what you’re looking for and the easiest way to begin.
    Connect with us via the Contact Us link, or send an email to begin@withintherapy.com.au.
    We aim to be in touch 1-2 business days, unless you advise it’s urgent to provide a few options for a brief initial chat that lasts for 10-20 minutes, depending on your requirements.

  • No referral is needed to see me. GP Mental Health Treatment Plans give Medicare rebates for sessions with specific professions (e.g., psychologists, some social workers/OTs) under the Better Access program; counsellors/psychotherapists aren’t currently included.

  • Some funds provide rebates for PACFA-registered counselling/psychotherapy depending on your extras cover. I’ll issue receipts so you can claim with your fund. It’s best to check your policy first.

  • Whatever suits you best:

    • In person via Wellshare rooms (Penrith, Surry Hills, Pyrmont, St Leonards, Caringbah, CBD).

    • Online (secure) video.

    • By phone if you prefer voice only.

  • For many common concerns, therapist-guided online therapy performs as well as face-to-face in controlled studies and meta-analyses. If you’re unsure, we can start online and switch formats anytime.

  • We slow things down. You won’t need your whole story on day one. I’ll ask what’s been hard, what you’d like to be different, and together we’ll shape a simple plan at a pace that feels safe.

  • Common reasons include anxiety & overthinking, low mood/depression, grief & loss, trauma & past experiences, relationship/boundary difficulties, and life transitions & purpose. If you’re not sure your situation ‘fits’, reach out and we’ll talk it through.

  • Standard sessions are [50–60 minutes]. Many people start weekly or fortnightly, then space out as things settle. We’ll agree on a rhythm that matches your goals, energy and budget.

  • My fee is [insert fee]. Payment by [card/bank transfer/PayID]. If you need to reschedule, 24 hours’ notice helps me offer the spot to someone else; late changes or missed appointments may be charged, and funded programs usually count them as a used session. (If cost is a worry, please say so, we can discuss options.)

  • Yes, your privacy matters. I keep records securely and don’t share your information without consent, except where there’s serious risk of harm or a legal requirement. I’ll explain this clearly in your first session and you can ask questions anytime. Refer to the OAIC Guide to Health Privacy and the Australian Privacy Principles for more details if required.
