A sanctuary for healing trauma, loss and anxiety.
Loss, trauma, and anxiety can shake the very foundation of your world, leaving you feeling untethered, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to move forward. At The Still Space, I offer a safe, nurturing environment where you can confidentially explore your pain, navigate the complexities of grief, trauma, and anxious thoughts, and begin to rebuild a sense of inner stability.
Individual Counselling
ADULT | $130
If you’ve found your way here, I want to acknowledge what a huge and courageous first step this is. Thinking about starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re carrying the deep pain of grief, the lasting impact of trauma, or navigating anxiety.
You might feel nervous, unsure, or uncertain about what this journey will look like and that’s completely okay. You don’t need to have anything figured out.
You don’t even need to know what to say when you arrive for your first session.
As your Counsellor, my role is to support you with compassion, care, and understanding. I will help you slowly unpack your story and begin to find steadier ground so you can reconnect with life in a way that feels meaningful and manageable again.
How It Works
From our very first session together, we’ll create a clear and supportive plan tailored to your needs, so you’ll know what to expect and feel safe in the process ahead.
Because I believe in real, lasting change, I see all clients for a minimum of six sessions. This gives us time to build trust, explore your experiences, and create meaningful movement forward. At the end of your initial session, we’ll book in your next six sessions in advance so you have dependability and consistency.
I offer guidance for my clients through a range of deeply personal and complex challenges, including:
Grief & Loss
Persistent or overwhelming grief that feels impossible to move through
Uncertainty about what is “normal” in grief and how to cope
Distressing memories of illness, death, or loss
Feeling stuck in emotions such as anger, guilt, or regret
Managing the deep longing for someone who has died
Supporting grieving family members, including children and partners
Loss of meaning, purpose, or identity after a death
Feeling unsupported or misunderstood by those around you
Coping with anniversaries, special occasions, and milestones
Trauma, Anxiety & Life-Altering Experiences
Sexual violence, assault, and abuse.
Childhood neglect or abuse.
Physical accidents, injuries, or life-threatening illnesses.
Job loss, career identity crisis, and major life transitions.
Relationship breakdowns, separation, and divorce.
Persistent anxiety, worry, or emotional overwhelm.
Feeling disconnected, stuck, or unable to trust yourself or others.
I look forward to starting this journey with you and feel privileged to be able to support you during such a tender time in your life.

Counselling and Play Therapy
CHILDREN AND TEENS | $130
As a parent myself, I know how heartbreaking and overwhelming it can feel when your child is struggling, especially when you've done everything you can think of to help.
Maybe you’ve been the listening ear, the giver of loving advice, the advocate at school and still, something doesn’t feel right. You might be feeling lost, unsure of what to do next, and carrying the weight of their pain in your own heart.
The truth is, children and teens often don’t have the words to express what’s really going on inside. Instead, their distress can show up in other ways, like big emotions, mood changes, withdrawal, nightmares, school refusal, or trouble concentrating.
This is where therapy can help. In my work, I offer children a space where they can explore what they’re feeling in ways that feel natural and accessible, through play, creativity, and connection.
How It Works
To begin your child’s therapy journey, the first step is a Parent/Carer Briefing Session.
This confidential appointment gives us the chance to connect before I meet with your child. It’s an opportunity for you to share what you’ve been noticing, your concerns, and what support you’re hoping for.
I work with children and teens for a minimum of six sessions, as this allows time for trust to build and meaningful progress to begin. During your Parent Briefing Session, we’ll book in all six sessions upfront, helping you plan ahead and giving your child a clear sense of routine and support.
I support children and teens from 7+ years and experiencing a range of challenges, including:
Grief and loss, including the passing of a loved one or a significant life change.
The emotional and psychological effects of trauma.
Anxiety and overwhelm, including social anxiety, school-related anxiety, and persistent worries.
Family breakdowns and changes in family dynamics, helping them process emotions around separation, divorce, or conflict.
Bullying and peer challenges, including self-esteem issues and feeling isolated or unsafe at school (I also provide advocacy to help schools understand and support your child’s needs).
Sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion that won’t go away.
Nightmares, fear, trouble sleeping, or difficulty coping after a distressing experience.
Feeling unsupported or misunderstood in their emotions.
If your child or teen is struggling with any of these challenges, I am here to help. Together, we can create a space where they feel supported, understood, and empowered to heal in their own way.
