Support, safety, and connection are what help us grow.
Let’s move forward together.

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you or someone close to you is feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or going through challenges. Reaching out for support can sometimes feel daunting, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a counsellor, I offer a private, confidential space where you can feel heard, find clarity, and balance.

I work with professionals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating the demands of busy lives and challenging careers. Work stress, burnout, career transitions, or relationship pressures can sometimes leave you feeling stuck, drained, or uncertain about the way forward. For migrants and second- or third-generation Australians, there can also be the added complexity of moving between cultures, managing different expectations and identities at home, at work, and within yourself. My work supports you in feeling more grounded, developing a stronger self-identity, cultivating a sense of belonging, and finding greater ease and confidence in who you are.

About Dee

I have lived and travelled across Asia and Europe, and I am now based in Australia. Coming from a blended cultural background, I speak several languages and draw on my firsthand experience of adapting to new cultures while staying true to the values I grew up with and embracing diverse perspectives. In addition, I have over 15 years of senior leadership experience in global companies across Australia and the APAC region, where I navigated corporate pressures, workplace stress, and the ongoing challenge of balancing high performance with personal well-being.

I’m a counsellor who combines lived experience with professional training to support people in meaningful ways. I’m a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) with a postgraduate in counselling, and currently holding a Master of Arts in Integrated Marketing Communications. I run a private practice and support clients through EAP.

Therapeutic approach

Every individual has the ability to grow and adapt through change and reflection.

My approach to counselling is relational, humanistic, and grounded in person-centred philosophy. Our work is collaborative, focusing on understanding your experiences and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. Rather than trying to ‘fix’ or ‘cure’ you, I provide a supportive, non-directive space where you can focus on what matters most to you.

By blending my own lived experiences with professional training, I bring a culturally informed perspective to deepen your self-awareness, help you reconnect with your resilience, and foster personal and professional growth. Using an integrated therapeutic approach, I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring strategies to your needs to support lasting and meaningful change.

FAQs

What is the usual length of a counselling process?
+
-

The duration of therapy varies and is tailored to the individual goals you are hoping to address during our time together. My approach involves working collaboratively with you to establish clear therapeutic objectives, strategies, and a shared understanding of what a productive session will involve. Regular reviews or check-ins are an integral part of my counselling process, ensuring that our sessions remain focused on your priorities.

Some clients find that their concerns can be resolved within a relatively short number of sessions, after which they may choose to conclude or pause therapy. Others present with goals that require a longer-term commitment to achieve meaningful progress. We can discuss options to ensure we make the most effective use of our time together if you are concerned about the possibility of a long-term commitment.

Are counselling sessions fully confidential?
+
-

All communications in the sessions are treated with the highest level of confidentiality. Both clients and counsellors are protected under Australian law as well as the Australian Counselling Association’s Code of Ethics. Your personal information will remain private throughout the counselling process, with a few exceptions required by law or duty of care:

  • If there is an immediate risk of harm to yourself or others
  • If a court order or subpoena requires information to be released
  • If there is a disclosure or suspicion of child and elderly abuse or neglect
  • If you provide consent for information to be shared with another professional or healthcare provider to support your care and wellbeing
What should I expect during the initial session?
+
-

We’ll spend some time getting to know you and talking about what’s brought you to counselling. I may ask a few questions to better understand your background, current situation, and hopes for therapy, but you’ll never be expected to share more than you feel ready to.

There’s nothing you need to bring along, though some people like to jot down a few thoughts about what they’d like to focus on. Really, the most important thing is just coming as you are, with a willingness to take things at your own pace. My role is to provide a supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable and understood as we begin this process together.

Are sessions offered both in-person and online?
+
-

At present, I provide counselling exclusively online via Google Meet.

Online or telehealth counselling is an increasingly popular and effective way to access mental health support. It is a highly convenient and flexible option, removing the need for travel and making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments. Research shows that online counselling can be just as effective as in-person therapy, offering privacy, accessibility for those in remote areas, and reduced stigma by allowing sessions to take place in familiar, safe spaces.

Online video counselling may not suit everyone. It may be less appropriate for those experiencing severe mental health crises, without access to a private space, or with limited technology. In such cases, in-person therapy may be more appropriate.

Please book a free 15-minute consultation if you’re unsure whether online video counselling feels right for you.

Do you provide access to Medicare rebates?
+
-

The fee has been set thoughtfully to ensure the quality and sustainability of the support provided. I do not offer rebates through Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP).

Counselling and psychotherapy are not covered under the Better Access scheme. For context, psychologists can offer up to 10 Medicare-rebated sessions per year, typically costing $200–$280 per session with rebates of around $98–$145. If you anticipate needing more than 10 sessions, counselling can provide a more flexible, affordable, and cost-effective way to support your ongoing growth and well-being.

Do you complete psychological assessments or reports for Workcover, NDIS, legal, or medical purposes?
+
-

I am unable to provide psychological assessments or reports. If you need a report, I recommend speaking with your GP or the organisation requesting it, as they can often refer you to qualified practitioners who can help.

Can you guarantee the success of therapy?
+
-

While I cannot guarantee the success of therapy, I will work with you to understand your needs and use an approach suited to you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and your goals, commitment, and engagement all play a role. I provide a safe, supportive space to explore challenges, develop coping strategies, and support your personal growth.
