It’s your life.
Take charge.

What can therapy do for me?

Therapy supports you to find a new direction going forward. It also helps you make sense of your past. 

The best time to start is when you decide you’ve had enough and you feel it’s time for change. 

As a trained professional counsellor using insight and perception, I work with you to get yourself back on track, to where you want to be.

You may simply be wanting to talk and be heard. Sometimes this is all you need. 

Whether or not you’ve seen a therapist before, you are welcome.

I wish I met Pamela sooner. Counselling has given me the tools to cope with inevitable changes in life. I couldn’t recommend nor thank Pamela enough for the positive impact she has had on my life.

Pathways

Anxiety

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”
Anne Lamott

Anxiety

Are you feeling stuck in a rut and don't know where to turn? Anxiety and stress can seem paralysing. If you have this, there is hope. My skills include helping you navigate your way again; managing your difficulties and improving your relationships. Begin your recovery and feel empowered once more.

Depression

“Depression is not a malfunction. It’s a signal. It's telling us something”.
Johann Hari

Depression

If you’re depressed, you’re not broken, or mad, or insane. There are probably good reasons why you feel this way. But denying it means you're kicking the can further on down the road. Depression can be an urgent signal that is crying out for care and attention. I have found that when you understand a depression, you often discover unexpected solutions.

Trauma

“The paradox of trauma is that it has both the power to destroy and the power to transform and resurrect”.
Peter A. Levine

Trauma

Dealing with trauma in its many forms was part of my job as an Anaesthetic Nurse and Educator. I would attend to and give reassurance to patients, their relatives, and/or anyone in our working team. I learned invaluable lessons as an empathic professional and a future counsellor. Maintaining focus and mindfulness still informs my practice every day.

Personality Disorders

“You don’t have to control your thoughts; you just have to stop letting them control you.”
Dan Millman

Personality Disorders

Getting a diagnosis can be hurtful or shocking. 'Cover emotions' such as anger - useful for covering up sadness or fear - may have worked in the past. Until they don't. There are ways to cope with these feelings and particular strategies to manage them. This is possible with a personalised plan.

Bipolar Disorder

“I’m not ashamed of {this} illness. I believe most of my talent comes from it”.
Stanley Victor Paskavich

Bipolar Disorder

In my practice, I see adults of all ages with Bipolar Disorder. Mood swings can be unpredictable and sneaky, making it difficult to notice that things are not right. Sometimes denial seems easiest - Bipolar Disorder can be inconvenient and embarrassing. So we both work together to find the best management plan for you.

Other Presenting Problems

“We are all faced with a series of great opportunities - brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems”.
John W. Gardner

Other Presenting Problems

These may include Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Perfectionism, Denial, Addiction, Work Stress, Social and Relationship Problems, Fear, Anger, Grief, Loss. Rather than cure, it’s about using proven strategies to successfully manage your issues. The road may be rocky, but it doesn’t have to be lonely.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Begin it now.

About Me

My own traumas and ‘failures’ have sharpened my insight and compassion for others’ issues. I believe there is potential in everyone for healing – even if that seems doubtful, I will see it and help you find it. I like to work with each client to untangle what’s been distorted. Like the old proverb about fishing, helping people develop their own ways to manage future problems gives them skills for a lifetime.

My Philosophy

Everyone starts life with a spark of insight, of intuition; a natural joy. Growing up, we all experience some kind of suffering. Our inner happiness gets overwhelmed by unpleasant events or hurts. Paying full attention to someone’s story opens doors for healing in ways that are often surprising.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need therapy?

Only you can answer. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed or lonely or just not coping. Simply wanting to talk to someone, without necessarily knowing why, may be enough. 

How are sessions run?

2 ways: Face to face in my room; or online telehealth via Zoom or FaceTime.

Sessions are usually booked for 1 hour. I am happy to discuss extending these sessions if and when possible, on an individual basis.

Psychology or Psychotherapy?

Clinical Psychologists: diagnose and provide suitable therapy. Little talking therapy. Medicalised training.

Counsellors or Psychotherapists: closely related to each other. Frequently use talking therapy and are trained in listening skills.

Do I need a referral?

No. The quickest way to see my availability is to make a booking.

However, if you wish to talk about your options first, please call, email or text me and we can discuss next steps. 

How long do I have to keep coming?

No strict rule. First session outlines plan for future sessions and desired outcomes. Sometimes people are unsure so a session may just be for talking.

$240 for 1.5 hours.

Rebates are available in certain circumstances.

Mastering others
is strength,
mastering yourself
