I have had the honour of working with clients in a range of backgrounds since 2016 in Australia where I maintain accreditation with the ACA and AASW. I have worked with both adult and young people in Out of Home Care, Youth Justice, Foster Care, Child Protection, working with families who have experienced family violence (post respondent and affected family member), families that have experiences sexual assault, children and adults with significant trauma both single incident and complex, participants with PTSD and those looking for self exploration and growth through clinical supervision and reflection.
My favourite way to work with families is through collaboration, understanding the participants needs and their experience before working collaboratively to identify and create a plan that matches their goals.
I see participants online through Better Help while maintaining an in person private practice space in a regional area to support the local community.
I have an open invitation to wonder what is it that you as a a prticipant are looking for, what helps create a feeling of safety and what is it that you need to feel seen, heard and cared for?

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
