Counselling and Scope of Practice
I work with adults (18+) who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health concerns, including:
-
Anxiety and panic attacks
-
Depression
-
Anger
-
Stress - work, financial and relationship
-
Low self-esteem and self-confidence
-
Adjustment to life changes
-
Sleep problems
-
Problem gambling
I also have particular experience with:
-
Problematic alcohol and drug use - read more about my approach to substance use support.
-
Chronic pain - learn how psychology can support chronic pain management.
-
Performance issues and mental skills development for endurance athletes - find out more.
Who I'm not the right fit for
I’m not the right person to see if you:
-
Are under 18 years of age.
-
Are currently experiencing severe mental health or behavioural difficulties or need multidisciplinary care (e.g. Acute Care Team involvement, recent inpatient admission).
-
Are seeking couples counselling, or support in the context of separation, domestic violence or child custody disputes (DV-specific services are better placed to help).
-
Have been mandated or coerced to attend by a third party and are not personally seeking support.
Service Limitations
To keep my practice focused, there are some services I don’t offer:
-
After-hours, emergency or crisis services (see Immediate Support for options).
-
Independent assessments or medico-legal reports for insurance or legal matters.
-
Psychometric assessments or diagnostic assessments for ADHD/Autism, forensic or family-law matters.
-
Reports, letters or testimony for use in legal proceedings, except where I am legally required to do so.
-
NDIS-funded services (I am not NDIS registered).
If you’re unsure whether I’m the right person to work with you, you’re welcome to get in touch to discuss your situation.
