About me

My practice
At Mixed Bag, we offer support for a wide range of mental health and well-being concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress.

We work with issues such as childhood neglect and abuse, c-PTSD, self-esteem, relationships, addictions and major life transitions.

We also provide specialised support for children, adolescents, and young people, including support for those engaging self-harm, suicidal thoughts and/or behaviours.

Our services are neurodivergent-friendly and a safe, welcoming space for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Whether you’re managing a mental health condition, navigating impulsive behaviours, facing school or work challenges, or simply seeking greater self-awareness and personal growth, we are here to help.

Counselling sessions are available in-person, via telehealth, or through online options — whatever feels safest for you. We offer concession rates and funded counselling options to help reduce financial barriers. This includes supporting you in making a Victims Services Application and receiving Victims Services Approved Counselling. After-hours and weekend appointments are available — just reach out to discuss tailored support to meet your needs.

At Mixed Bag, we’re committed to making counselling accessible, inclusive, and genuinely supportive for everyone who walks through our door or clicks into our sessions.
At Mixed Bag, we are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. We recognize and celebrate the diversity within the LGBTQIA+ community and understand the unique challenges you may face. We proudly align with ACON’s values, ensuring that every person feels seen, heard, and valued.

We acknowledge the Darkinjung people, the traditional custodians of the land on which we operate. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We are committed to creating a welcoming space for everyone, especially for our Indigenous communities. Your stories and experiences are valued here.
