Using subconscious and somatic therapies, our sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy, to help you gently uncover and release what is keeping you stuck.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have a Mental Health Care Plan from my GP. Can I get rebates through Medicare?
As a registered counsellor, unfortunately I am not able to accept Mental Health Care Plans, and cannot provide Medicare rebates at this time.
Why choose online therapy over in-person?
I offer online sessions via Zoom to enable people to access my services from anywhere around the world.
Online offers the benefits of:
- being in your own comfortable space - avoiding the stress of driving to an appointment
- saving time
- accessibility for everyone
The impact of online therapy has been proven to be just as effective (if not more) as an in-person appointment.
However, if you prefer in-person and are local to Bayside Melbourne, I have a limited number of holistic counselling sessions available in clinic. Please contact me via email to discuss.
**The Online Trauma Clinic only offers sessions via Zoom at this time.
What is EFT tapping?
Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a highly effective evidence-based stress reduction technique. It uses a combination of cognitive therapy, whilst self-tapping on specific points on your body. Often just called ‘Tapping’ it can address a range of issues and has been proven to be highly successful for tackling stress, anxiety, depression, pain and self-confidence.
What is Aaruka® Therapy?
Aaruka® is a therapy designed to overcome past trauma, break through subconscious beliefs about yourself, and set you on the path to a life you want to live. The word Aaruka means "finding paradise within".
In a session, you are guided into the theta brainwave through hypnosis. In this relaxed state the subconscious beliefs you hold about yourself are more accessible. We will have a conversation whilst in this brainwave to help clear the negative patterns and install positive beliefs. We will work to clear trauma at the subconscious, memory, nervous system, and energetic levels.
It is an incredibly powerful method that may require between 1-3 sessions overtime, depending on your situation. Even just one session will begin to get you back towards the path you desire.
These healing sessions are up to 90 minutes duration and are booked with me directly through the Aaruka® Online Trauma Clinic.
✔ Rewire your subconscious and nervous system for lasting change.
✔ Move forward with clarity, confidence, and freedom.
How does hypnotherapy help?
Clinical hypnotherapy can manage stress and anxiety by targeting thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to it. Hypnosis integrates new strategies and positive messages into the unconscious mind, making them more accessible when needed. Clients often report feeling more relaxed and in control after sessions.
Why use a subconscious approach?
My approach is grounded in a holistic understanding of mental health and wellbeing. Most of what is driving your stress, anxiety and emotional patterns isn't conscious. It lives in your nervous system, your memories and your core beliefs at an unconscious level. That's why I use methods that work with your whole self: mind, body, and subconscious, to create real, lasting change.
How many sessions will I need?
This widely varies and is dependent on your individual circumstances. On average, clients book anywhere between 3 and 8 sessions. You may require less, or more. What matters is the level of permanent change you desire.
Most clients book a series of 3 sessions to begin with, assess their level of change, then come back for 'top-ups' or 'maintenance' when new things appear in life that they would like to work on.
Why not get started with your first session and see what changes can begin now?
What qualifications and experience do you have?
I hold a Master's degree in Counselling, a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy & Strategic Psychotherapy, and hold registration with the Australian Counselling Association. With 16 years of experience as an educator, and as a Registered Teacher in Victoria, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. You can read more about me here.
What if I have more questions?
No problem! You can email me at [email protected] for a quick response.
I also offer 15 minute introductory phone calls (Australia only) if you want to know more via the booking page.
