Therapy that meets you where you’re at.

Online Counselling & Psychotherapy, Australia-wide.

Hi, I’m Alex.

Many people come to therapy not because everything is falling apart, but because something no longer feels workable.

They’re thinking a lot. Trying to understand themselves. Doing their best to manage relationships, work, and expectations, yet still feeling stuck, tense, or disconnected. Conversations feel harder than they should. Decisions take too much effort. Rest doesn’t really land.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not broken. But something important is asking for attention.

I’m a counsellor and psychotherapist, and my work is about slowing things down enough to understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface, so change becomes possible in a way that fits your life.

When things feel hard to name

You might notice yourself:

replaying conversations long after they’ve ended
feeling stressed or avoidant around difficult conversations
worrying about conflict, disapproval, or “getting it wrong”
struggling to know what you need or how to express it
feeling self-aware, but stuck in your head
trying to be perfect, composed, or agreeable
feeling exhausted, flat, or unsure where your motivation has gone
carrying a quiet sense of shame or self-doubt

Often, it’s not one big problem. It’s the accumulation of strain over time.

Therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what’s been building beneath the surface.

What therapy is like with me

Sessions are a place to slow down and think together.

We pay attention to what’s happening for you in real time, your thoughts, emotions, bodily responses, and the patterns that show up in your relationships and daily life. Rather than rushing toward solutions, we take the time to understand what’s actually driving the difficulty.

Sometimes this means exploring emotional patterns or relational dynamics. At other times, it’s about finding steadier ways to navigate anxiety, decisions, boundaries, or difficult conversations. The work adapts to what’s most relevant for you, rather than following a fixed agenda.

You don’t need to have everything worked out before you begin. We start where you are.

How change happens

Therapy isn’t about fixing who you are or becoming a different person.

It’s about developing a clearer, more compassionate understanding of yourself, and building the capacity to respond differently when life brings pressure, uncertainty, or challenge.

Over time, people often notice they feel:

less reactive and less overwhelmed
clearer about their needs and boundaries
more able to approach difficult conversations
more connected to themselves and others
more steady in the face of uncertainty

Change usually happens gradually, through understanding, practice, and lived experience.

What I don’t do

I don’t offer quick fixes or step-by-step formulas for how to feel better.

I don’t work by applying techniques before something has been properly understood, and I’m cautious about rushing toward solutions simply to relieve discomfort.

I don’t see therapy as a place where you need to perform insight, positivity, or progress, or where someone else tells you who to be or what to do.

And I don’t assume that every difficulty needs to be pushed through or resolved as quickly as possible.

Instead, I work slowly enough for things to make sense so any change that happens is something you can actually live with, not just understand intellectually.

Starting therapy

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own or feel unsure how to put your experience into words.

If you’re curious about whether working together might be a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch. We can talk briefly about what’s bringing you here and what you’re hoping for, without pressure or obligation.

You don’t need to be in crisis to begin, just willing to pause and look more closely at what’s happening.
