About Therapy

Professional therapy is a safe, confidential collaboration to promote wellbeing and resolve concerns. Outcomes vary as we are all unique individuals. While I cannot guarantee specific results, I am committed to best practice in exploring your concerns. Therapy may trigger various feelings—please inform me if this occurs. To maximize benefits: attend sessions regularly, share openly, complete agreed tasks, and ask for clarification when needed.

My Professional Background

I hold a Master of Gestalt Therapy, Diploma of Teaching, Certificate in Holistic Counselling, and have completed the official IFS Level 1 training. I'm a PACFA Certified Practising Counsellor (Reg. 31720), adhering to PACFA's Code of Ethics. My approach is relational, grounded, and experiential—warm, respectful, and collaborative.

Privacy, Confidentiality & Records

Everything shared is confidential except when legally required to report: imminent threat to life/safety, child abuse/neglect, or court orders. Where appropriate and possible, I will discuss any necessary disclosures with you beforehand. Records are stored securely with Halaxy (bank-grade encryption) for 7 years. I receive de-identified clinical supervision. Clear boundaries support our work—we meet during scheduled sessions only, with no social media contact.

Session Recording & AI-Assisted Notes

To provide you with the best possible care, I audio record our sessions. This allows me to use AI transcription tools to produce accurate session summaries rather than relying on memory alone. This practice supports better note-keeping and improved client outcomes.

How this works:

• Sessions are recorded using an audio recording device
• The audio recording is retained for a maximum of 24 hours and then permanently deleted
• The recording is processed through AI transcription tools to generate a session summary
• No data is retained or stored within the AI system
• The AI-generated summary is used solely to support clinical note-taking for legal records and supervision purposes
• No audio recording is stored as part of your permanent clinical record

By signing this informed consent, you agree to the audio recording and AI-assisted transcription of your sessions as described above. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please raise them before signing.

Online Sessions

Online sessions are provided on the basis that we both:

• Ensure that we have a confidential and uninterrupted space
• The client will not make any audio or video recording of a session unless both parties agree to it beforehand
• If the client does make a recording by mutual agreement, it will stay confidential and be accessible only to the people who took part in that session.

Your Participation

In our first session, we'll get to know each other, explore what brings you here, and co-create a treatment plan including session frequency and focus. I welcome clients of all gender identities and expressions, and neurodivergent clients. I aim to create a space free from assumptions where you feel met as you are.

Emergency Contacts

I don't provide crisis services. In emergencies contact: Lifeline 13 11 14 | Mental Health Crisis Line 1300 642 255 | Your doctor/hospital emergency
