COUNSELLING SERVICES
Emotional and mental health support for children, young people , parents or caregivers, and adults.
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
Let’s create a safe and protected space to explore your thoughts and feelings, and help you feel more in control of your life.
Counselling is a collaborative process where you and I work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. In our one-on-one sessions, you'll find a safe and non-judgmental space to express your emotions and discuss your challenges.
We’ll work together to uncover the root causes of your distress and develop strategies to help you manage and overcome these issues. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or everyday stress, counselling provides a structured and supportive environment for personal growth and healing.

THE BENEFITS OF A COMBINED APPROACH.
Counselling & SANDPLAY THERAPY
By integrating traditional counselling with Sandplay Therapy, I offer a holistic approach that addresses both the conscious and unconscious aspects of your psyche and allows a richer, more nuanced exploration of your inner world. It’s an approach that honours the complexity of your experiences and provides multiple pathways to healing, whether you’re seeking to overcome trauma, manage anxiety, improve your relationships, or simply understand yourself better.
Here’s how this combined approach can benefit you:
check Deeper Insight
While counselling helps you articulate your thoughts and emotions, Sandplay therapy allows you to access and express deeper layers of your psyche. This combination facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of yourself and your experiences.
check Enhanced Emotional Expression
Addressing both verbal and non-verbal aspects of your experiences promotes holistic healing, so that no part of your emotional landscape is left unexplored. It’s particularly beneficial for children and adults who have experienced trauma as it offers a gentle way to process difficult emotions.
check Safe and PROTECTED SPACE
My therapy room is a sanctuary where you can feel safe and supported. Whether you’re engaging in dialogue or creating scenes in the sand, you’ll be in a space designed to foster trust, safety, and healing. We’ll use the methods that resonate most with you, ensuring each session is tailored to your unique needs.
