Frequently Asked Questions Answered

I trained with the Australian School of Holistic Counselling and am a Certified Holistic Counsellor, Coach and Mindfulness Mentor. I’m also a member of the International Society of Holistic Counsellors and Coaches.

Before retraining, I completed a BA at the University of NSW in Sydney and spent more than 25 years working in PR, communications and marketing, mainly supporting small business owners and wellness-based businesses.

My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I’ve navigated my own health challenges over the years – including childhood asthma, adrenal fatigue as a young mother, early menopause, and more recently, a cancer diagnosis and healing journey. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection and what it truly means to support wellbeing holistically.

I’m also a wife and mother of two young adults, and our family has had its own share of parenting challenges too.

I share this because I believe qualifications are important, but so is the compassion, insight and wisdom that comes from real life.

I’m a lifelong learner and continue to deepen my knowledge in holistic wellbeing, mindfulness, emotional health and nervous system support.

My focus is online sessions via Zoom so I can be support to women across Australia and Internationally. I don’t currently have a therapy room but if you live on the Gold Coast, I am open to having a session in nature or maybe a walk and talk? Please reach out and we can discuss what works for you.

Please click the button on this page to contact me and fill out an initial Intake form. Once submitted I will be in contact within 24hours. I then offer a FREE 15 minute Connection Call before locking in an initial appointment and requesting payment.

Holistic Counselling requires commitment from you to attend sessions and start making changes in your life in order to reap the benefits. Our initial appointment allows us to get to know each other but at least three sessions are required in order for you start working on what’s going on for you. Following these, I do offer single sessions for a fee of $90 per session or you can continue purchasing packs. Purchasing packs is more cost efficient.

An initial 3 session pack is the minimum I offer for new clients. See answer above on this. 

Depending on what is going on for you and how proactive you are in working on your own self-discovery and healing, this may be enough but I feel 5 is ideal as a minimum.

I recommend more sessions, up to 15, for you to get deep insights, learn techniques to regulate emotions and calm the mind, and lean into deep  inner knowing.

Sessions can be weekly or fortnightly ideally to begin. Then maybe it moves to monthly.

Feel free to return for a single session as a past client anytime you feel the need for extra support.

Each session will last for 1 hour. 

Sessions evolve organically according to what you want to discuss.

Our initial session will involve more questions from me to get to know you better.

I like to incorporate some meditation, breath work and visualisation exercises, as well as other useful tools as part of sessions if I feel they are appropriate.

Once an appointment is locked in and payment made, I will send an intake form and  short exercise for you to complete prior to our first session.

Please find a quiet spot for your session where you won’t be disturbed and in a place where you feel relaxed and confutable.  A pen, some paper and tissues will be useful!

I may follow up a session with an email containing some useful resources for you or an exercise relating to our topic of conversation.

I also suggest that in order for you to get the most out of our sessions you allow some time to reflect over the week and also consider what you need to take action. Do you need to ofuc osn a new mindset, start new habits, break old habits or have conversations with the people you love. 

These are just some things that may come up and require you being proactive. Awareness brings change. Change comes through choices.

Life is a journey and I look forward to supporting you.

Sessions must be paid for prior to our scheduled appointment. You can either pay by EFT or through PayPal.

Unfortunately most of the amazing therapies, including Holistic Counselling, which are offered to treat your body and mind holistically are still not approved by these organisations for health refunds. 

Please email or message me 24 hours prior to our scheduled appointment. I understand that unexpected things can happen so please contact me ASAP and we can discuss an alternative time.

If you don’t show up to an appointment and don’t contact me, or cancel an appointment without rescheduling, the full session fee will be forfeited.
