Outside of Australia, I am able to work with clients in any country but Canada and the USA. This is due to their strict licensing laws across states and provinces.

Yes, clients have the option of seeing me online using Zoom.

Unfortunately while Psychologists and Social Workers are covered , Sexologists and most Counsellors like myself are not.

Whether it be individuals or couples, clients have sought therapy with me for help improving their self-confidence, processing late ADHD/autism diagnoses, addressing body image issues or sexual difficulties and pain (vaginismus, erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory control issues, etc), making dating a more authentic experience, repairing from betrayal/infidelity, navigating FIFO or long-distance relationships, transitioning careers/life stages, going through a separation, just to name a few examples. I regularly work with people that are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, gender diverse, polyamorous or ethically non-monogamous.

Depending on the case, I offer some flexibility around the frequency of therapy. However, weekly is always recommended to start. This is mainly because the first 3-6 sessions are considered the “assessment phase”. This is the minimum amount of time it takes a therapist to get enough of a window into the client’s context and goals for therapy before proceeding to the “treatment phase”. It’s roughly from the sixth session onwards that “the work” begins.

When they’re ready, moving to fortnightly sessions gives clients more time and opportunity to apply the therapy in their day-to-day life. Monthly is considered “maintenance”.

How long is a piece of string? Annoying saying, I know, but it is the reality. Therapy is not like coaching where there’s a clear plan or program. Making substantial changes to yournhabits and patterns (and seeing real results) requires going to the core of each problem. Realistically, that takes years of therapy. It’s important to set expectations and know that therapy is not a quick fix. Sometimes part of the therapy is coming to terms with what that journey ahead may look like.

Yes, I specialise in working with ADHD and autistic individuals and couples. I am not a psychologist and do not specialise in working with all presentations within neurodivergence more broadly. My niche within neurodivergence is relationship therapy (especially relationship to self) for high-masking autistic and ADHD people.

Examples of modalities I draw upon in session include narrative therapy, inner child work, reparenting/self-parenting, Gottman Method, non-violent communication, writing as therapy, Jungian Theory and archetypal soul mapping. When working with clients who are seeing me for sex therapy related issues, sessions will often involve a sexual (re)education (as most of us growing up didn’t receive the comprehensive sex-positive sex ed we all deserved).
