Experience

The power of story in therapy.

Counselling provides a safe space for sharing our stories, challenges and successes.

With careful attention and deep listening, an environment of trust and safety is generated to support your healing.

I use a range of integrative approaches that empower you to reclaim your story and your life.

I look forward to connecting with you, whether you’re at the beginning of your change journey, at a crossroads, or among valleys and mountains.

How
Counselling
Works.

 

Step one

Book a session with me via my online booking system. You may choose an in-person or virtual session. Virtual sessions will be run via zoom.

Step two

I will contact you by your preferred method (email or phone) to confirm the details of your session and learn a bit about you and your circumstances. This is also your chance to ask me any questions you have before we meet.

Step three

If we’re meeting virtually, you’ll receive an email 24 hours before your session. Simply click the meeting link in the email when you’re ready to join the session. If we’re meeting in-person, please arrive at least 15 minutes before your first session to complete the consent form and intake assessment. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your questions about bookings, sessions, fees and more. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Please contact me.

What languages are your services available in?

I welcome bookings from English and Arabic speakers residing here in Australia and abroad.

My services are suitable for English and Arabic speakers. However, my training packages are currently offered to Arabic speakers only.

Who are your counselling sessions available to?

Counselling is available to adults, families, young people and groups.

How do I book a session?

Sessions may be booked online or by contacting me. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you wish to discuss our services, approach or payment options.

How do you run your virtual sessions?

Virtual sessions are booked online or by contacting me and will be run via zoom.

Please ensure you are prepared for our session by:

  1. Please go to www.zoom.us
  2. Download the app (mobile devices) or program (laptop)
  3. Test your video and audio to ensure it works – most clients use their phones, which is the best option if you don’t have a webcam.
  4. I will send you an invitation link. Click on this link and it will prompt you to open up the program on your laptop OR will open the app on your device.
  5. Be ready in advance as technology is not always reliable. It is best to set it up at least 15 minutes prior to our session.
  6. Please test your camera, microphone and speaker/headphones prior to the session.
  7. You need good quality internet for video calls, please make sure that you reduce the number of devices using the internet during the time of your session.
  8. Other platforms that can be used are phone (audio only), Skype, FB Messenger and FaceTime. The last two options are not as secure as Zoom or Skype and if you chose one of these methods you agree to do so at your own risk.

Please note that whilst every possible effort is made to ensure your privacy and confidentiality whilst in an online session, I cannot guarantee the absolute privacy of any internet-based platform. Whilst the platforms I use are secure (I have never had any issues), they all come with risks as does anything on the internet.

It is also your responsibility to ensure that the space you choose to engage in the counselling is private and protects your confidentiality – I cannot ensure privacy or confidentiality at your end.

Are our counselling sessions confidential?

Our counselling sessions are completely confidential except in situations where there may be information that I need to report. This can include but is not limited to harm to self or others, child abuse, suicidal thoughts or attempts. 

What fees do you charge?

Counselling sessions are $160 AUD ($120 USD) per 1-hour session. *

We kindly ask that you make your payment at least 48 hours prior to your session to allow for bank transfer (unless a prior arrangement has been made).

* Concessions are available. Please contact me if you are a student or experiencing financial hardship.

Can I get a Medicare rebate?

Australian citizens who have a mental health plan from a GP may access the Medicare rebate for counselling sessions.

What if I need to cancel my session?

Please contact me at least 24 hours before your session if you want to cancel or reschedule.

Missed sessions may incur a fee.
