Challenges and difficult experiences are a part of life, and sometimes we need support so we can move forward in a meaningful way. I understand the courage it takes to ask for help and to share your innermost thoughts, emotions and pain. I also believe in the power of your strength and capacity for growth, and the resilience to overcome your challenges - no matter what you've been through.

I work with clients who are looking for understanding, empathy and acceptance. I am experienced with working with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and eating disorders. People who are looking to not just talk through their issues but who want to be in a space to work on and transform their inner worlds and the way they approach life find that the way I work alongside them as well as the space I provide resonates with them. Maybe you have tried lots of different therapists and are looking for someone different and who thinks out of the box - if so, I may be the person for you!

Hi, I'm Kerryn and I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with an absolute passion for everything perinatal. For 16yrs I have been working towards my goal of setting up a supportive space for want to be mummas, pregnant mummas and new mummas in the postpartum period. Having a space where you feel comfortable and able to be honest with what you are thinking and feeling can be a game changer. I love to be able to support mummas (and dads) to enjoy their pregnancy and becoming a parent, accepting their experiences, the good and the hard times, whilst also remaining true to themselves is really important to me.

The one constant we all share, regardless of our gender, wealth, race, location or religious beliefs is that we will spend our life in our body. This will also be one of the most confronting, challenging and potentially beautiful relationships we'll ever experience. Can we fully embrace our body? Can we come to terms with the social and cultural factors surrounding our body and, when the time comes to leave our body, will we do so with love and gratitude for how it helped us to connect with ourselves and others? Let's explore those questions together.

Most of us spend a lot of time doing things for others, and it usually means we don’t take the best care of ourselves. Overtime many of us will experience a number of concerns or face unforeseen challenges, such as relationship worries, family dynamics, parenting, trauma, employment or educational problems, bereavement, becoming a Carer or unexpected illness. When we forget to make time for ourselves and take care of our own needs, we can lose our sense of who we really are. If you’re feeling lost or are uncertain of how to make the changes. If you’re feeling like you need to reconnect with yourself and refocus, then I'm here help.

Hi, I'm Counsellor Katie. I am a registered counsellor and a dedicated member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). My intention as a counsellor is to embody a warm, vibrant, and gentle therapeutic presence. I provide online individual therapy for young people and adults with a specialisation in adolescent mental health, emerging adulthood, and gender/identity. People also see me for support with stress, worry, anxiety, depression, trauma, communication, self-esteem, existential concerns, or when they just need a little extra support during this season of life (because being human can be complicated).
