I provide telehealth counselling and psychotherapy for adolescents and adults across Australia, allowing you to access therapy from your own home or another private and comfortable space.

Online counselling can offer greater flexibility and accessibility while providing the same collaborative and individualised approach as face-to-face therapy. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism and neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, stress and a range of other mental health concerns.

Telehealth counselling allows you to attend therapy online using a secure video platform, without needing to travel to a consulting room.

Before your appointment, you'll receive information about how to access your online session. At the appointment time, you can join from a private and comfortable location using a computer, tablet or compatible mobile device.

Sessions generally follow the same format as face-to-face counselling. We can discuss what has brought you to therapy, identify what you would like to work on and develop an approach that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

For telehealth sessions, it's helpful to have a private space where you feel comfortable speaking openly and where interruptions can be kept to a minimum.

Telehealth counselling can be a convenient option if you prefer attending therapy from home, live outside Melbourne, have difficulty travelling to appointments or need greater flexibility around work, study, family or other commitments.

Some people also find online counselling more comfortable because they can attend from a familiar environment. This may be particularly helpful for people who experience anxiety, sensory sensitivities, mobility difficulties or other barriers to attending appointments in person.

Telehealth may not be the best option for every person or every situation. We can discuss your circumstances and preferences to determine whether online counselling is appropriate for your needs.

Telehealth counselling can be used to work with many of the same concerns that we might explore during face-to-face therapy, including:

• Anxiety, worry and stress

• Depression and low mood

• Trauma and PTSD

• ADHD, autism and neurodivergence

• Emotional regulation difficulties

• Relationship and interpersonal difficulties

• Self-esteem and self-criticism

• Life changes and adjustment

• Grief and loss

• Work and study-related stress

• Perfectionism and feeling overwhelmed

• Coping with difficult or stressful life situations

Therapy is tailored to your individual needs and may draw on approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT and EMDR, depending on what is appropriate for you and what you would like to work on.

EMDR therapy can also be provided via telehealth when it is appropriate for the individual. Online EMDR follows the same overall therapeutic framework as face-to-face EMDR, with bilateral stimulation adapted for the online environment. For online EMDR sessions, a larger screen such as a laptop, desktop computer or tablet is recommended where possible. EMDR may be more difficult to facilitate effectively when joining from a mobile phone due to the smaller screen size.

Before beginning EMDR, we will discuss your history, current circumstances and therapy goals, and consider whether telehealth EMDR is appropriate for you. Preparation, pacing and ensuring you have a suitable private environment are important parts of the process.
