Hi my name is Deb and I am a social worker & counsellor in Australia. I have worked within the health and community services sector for 20+ years and I specialise in grief, loss, trauma and bereavement counselling and support. I have extensive experience working within health/hospital systems, including palliative care, cancer services and the NDIS system. I am also experienced in working with families, adolescents and young adults.
I have a passion for meeting people exactly where they are at and creating a safe space to explore life’s challenges. I am a person-centered therapist with a deep respect for everyone that I work with. Life can be messy and difficult, but I believe that there is always hope – sometimes we just need a little help to find it. I am keen to walk alongside you and help explore whatever you chose to bring to a session.

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.
