Individual Counselling

Our counsellors hold Master of Counselling degrees from Australian universities and ACA/PACFA registrations. We understand that some people prefer in-person therapy, while others value the flexibility and convenience of an online counsellor or the support of a couple counsellor to strengthen their relationship. That’s why we offer both options. Our counsellors work with individuals and couples, providing therapy to navigate anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions with empathy and expertise.

Child Therapy

For children under 13, play-based therapy is often more appropriate than talk therapy. Child psychologists may use activities such as drawing, games, imaginative plays with figurine, role play, fun conversations, and story making. Children process emotions and learn interpersonal skills through playful co-creation with therapists. Our approach is tailored to each family's unique needs, fostering empathy, connection, and positive growth. By working together, we help children and families create a nurturing environment where everyone feels heard, valued, and supported.
