Sessions online, Australia Wide. Pensioner discounts. Free 15 min phone consult to discuss your needs. Life can be a complicated and traumatic experience at times. It can be hard to know how to manage your concerns, or to know how to gain the tools to help you make sense of your issues and improve the quality of your life with more positive results. While counselling can deal with specific life issues, it can also help you find a path to more positive outcomes and to mapping out a plan for your future. I have many years of experience in helping others in their life journey. I would love to hear your story and see how I can help. Relationships and the sense of grief or loss that comes with changes or the loss of a relationship, takes many forms - your relationship with an intimate partner, a friend, a loved pet. This can include death, change or loss. There is also the relationship with your status in life, with the aging process and the changes both mental and physical that come with it, the relationships with your work colleague and perhaps the loss of a job or a lifestyle. Importantly, there is also the relationship with yourself - how you feel about you. You are important and your life matters. Learning how to get what you want out of life, be it in your intimate relationships, at work or in the contentment of who you are. There are many other scenarios. Call me for a free 15 minute chat and tell me just what you are seeking - no obligation.

FAQs

In Preston, the key distinction comes down to training and registration. Psychologists complete at least six years of university study and must be registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), which allows them to provide Medicare-rebated sessions under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Counsellors typically hold qualifications accredited through PACFA or ACA and are not AHPRA-registered, so their sessions are generally not covered by Medicare. Both can be highly effective, and many Preston clients choose a counsellor when they want affordable, relationship-focused support without needing a GP referral first.
