Where do your sessions take place?
If you’re based in Perth we can meet in person. I have an office at 114 Cedric St, Stirling. Otherwise, I offer Walk & Talks, phone, email, Zoom… whatever works for you. Start with a free 15 minute consultation and we can discuss your options.
What are your fees?
$160 per 50 minute session (excluding travel for home visits)
Free or heavily subsidised sessions are available through Cancer Council WA referrals.
If you’d like to discuss discounted fees due to your circumstances, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Why Choose Private Counselling?
- No session limits – get the support you need, when you need it.
- No GP referral or Mental Health Care Plan required – book directly, with full confidentiality.
- Sessions tailored to you, not a fixed program.
What therapeutic approaches do you use?
My goal is to connect with people first – the techniques then come from there and it’s about what fits best for what is needed. I use a number of the focussed psychological strategies (FPS) as they are evidence based and really useful for allowing people to learn techniques and about themselves which offer them a chance to feel better and more connected to those around them.
So I utilise CBT for panic attacks, Mindfulness techniques for stress and anxiety and a range of psychoeducation and skills training. I like utilising aspects of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and really like ACT – Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
First and foremost, I like getting to know people and consider it crucial that we work out what might suit them rather than what techniques I enjoy.
How do I get started?
I’m more than happy to offer you a free 15 minute phone conversation, so we can connect and find out a little more about each other. We can then decide what’s the best way forward – whether it’s meeting in person, arranging a Walk & Talk or booking an online/phone meeting.
