More about Caitlin

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • AASW

I am an Accredited Social Worker in Melbourne Australia, with 4 years of professional work experience as a counsellor and case manager. I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma/abuse, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and coping with life changes. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a warm working relationship. I will personalise our sessions together, working collaboratively with you to identify your individual goals and meet your unique and specific needs.

It can be very difficult to seek out professional support, especially if it is for the first time or if you have previously had a bad experience/s. I am so glad you have made the decision to seek counselling and work towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
