Frequently Asked Questions
I understand you may have questions before booking a session. Below are answers to some of the most common queries.
If you’re unsure about anything, you’re welcome to reach out.
About my approach
What types of counselling do you offer?
I offer individual counselling for adults and adolescents who want to feel more grounded, steady and supported within themselves.
My role is to create a calm, respectful space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with inner stability and gently build clarity and self‑trust.
Alongside counselling, optional Reiki and Sound Healing sessions are available as separate services to support nervous system regulation.
How do you incorporate mindfulness and a holistic approach?
My work recognises the close connection between mind, body and nervous system.
Where helpful, I may integrate mindfulness, body‑based awareness or gentle somatic techniques to support regulation and presence. This is always guided by what feels safe and supportive for you.
Is spirituality part of your approach?
Only if it’s meaningful to you.
If spirituality is part of your healing journey, we can explore it gently and respectfully. If not, sessions remain grounded, practical and focused on your wellbeing.
Session details
How long are sessions?
Sessions are offered as 60-minute or 90-minute appointments.
What happens during a session?
Sessions are collaborative and gently paced.
You’ll have space to share what’s present for you, and I’ll listen with care and without judgment.
Together, we explore insights, patterns, body‑based awareness and supportive strategies to help you feel more regulated and resourced.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. Everything you share is treated with care and confidentiality, in line with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) ethical guidelines and Australian privacy laws.
In rare situations where there are legal or safety obligations, I will discuss these with you openly and transparently.
How many sessions will I need?
There’s no set number.
Some people find a few sessions helpful, while others choose ongoing support. We’ll check in regularly and adjust based on what feels most supportive for you.

What is your cancellation policy?
I understand that life can be unpredictable.

Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice may incur 50% of the session fee.
Missed appointments (no-shows) may be charged at the full session fee.

Do you offer Medicare rebates or private health cover?
Medicare rebates are not available for counselling.
Some private health funds may offer rebates. Please check with your provider directly. Payment is made upfront, with reimbursement claimed through your insurer.
If financial hardship is a barrier, you’re welcome to reach out so we can explore options.
Taking the first step
What can I expect in my first session?
Your first session is a gentle introduction.
You’ll have space to share what brought you here, and we’ll explore your hopes for counselling.
I’ll also explain confidentiality and practical details, so you feel informed and supported.
