Welcome! Well done on reaching out.
I am a credentialed Social worker and mental health clinician in Australia with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, career difficulties, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I love a good worksheet. I prefer messaging and phone calls, take the pressure off of always being visible! I am a casual therapist, we can chat, be open and work through the problem at hand together. Life is hard but I’m here to help, sometimes you just need someone to talk to!
I have further experience working with injuries, homelessness concerns, high work or university stress and chronic pain. I’m pretty good with all mental health and I’m flexible in my approach. We can find out what works best together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
