Questions & answers
What do you help people with?
“I support people aged 16 years and over through a range of challenges, including anxiety, burnout, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship difficulties, stress, self-esteem, or simply a season of life that feels heavier than expected.”
Who do you work with?
“My practice has a particular focus on supporting women. I also work with men and welcome bookings from people of all genders.”
Where do you offer counselling?
“I offer counselling in the Sutherland Shire from my private counselling room at Aesthetic Haus in Caringbah. You can also choose Walk & Talk Therapy at selected locations throughout Southern Sydney, or online counselling from wherever suits you best - whether that's your home, office or even your car during a busy day.”
What therapeutic approaches do you use?
“My approach is warm and collaborative, drawing on evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we'll find an approach that feels most helpful for you. I tailor each session to your individual needs, goals and circumstances, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.”
Can I claim counselling through my private health fund?
“Yes. I'm currently registered with Bupa, so eligible clients may be able to claim through their extras cover.”
What are the benefits of Walk & Talk Therapy?
“There's growing research (and plenty of anecdotal proof) that moving your body while processing your thoughts can be a powerful combo.”
Why doesn't Walk & Talk Therapy start right away?
“First sessions tend to involve a bit more talking, note-taking, and getting-to-know-you time. We'll also cover a few formalities like paperwork and go through your history and hopes for counselling.”
How does confidentiality work when we're outside?
“Confidentiality is just as important outdoors as it is in a counselling room. Before your first Walk & Talk session, we'll chat through how we handle privacy in public spaces - things like choosing quieter paths, pausing conversations when needed, or adjusting our route if the surroundings feel too busy.”
Is Walk & Talk Therapy right for me?
“Here's the honest truth: it's not everyone's cup of tea - and that's totally okay. Some people find nature grounding and feel more open and at ease outdoors.”
How long are the sessions?
“Walk & Talk sessions usually go for 60 minutes, and they can include a mix of walking and sitting, depending on the pace of the conversation. Occasionally, people prefer to book in a longer session for Walk & Talk so a 90-minute session can be scheduled if more time is needed.”
How do I know if I need counselling?
“People often imagine counselling is only for when life is falling apart. In reality, many of the women I work with are managing work, family and responsibilities while carrying far more than anyone else realises.”
What happens in my first counselling session?
“Your first session is simply a conversation. We'll talk about what's brought you to counselling, what's been happening in your life, and what you're hoping might feel different. There's no pressure to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We'll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.”
What if I don't know what to talk about?
“This is one of the most common concerns people have before starting counselling. Many clients know they don't feel like themselves but struggle to put into words why. That's okay - you don't need to arrive with all the answers. Part of my role is helping you make sense of what's been feeling difficult.”
Will you tell me what to do?
“My role isn't to tell you what decisions to make. Instead, I'll help you better understand yourself, recognise patterns, consider different perspectives and make choices that feel right for you.”
