Individual Counselling (Online Across Australia)
Life can feel overwhelming at times. Perhaps you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, emotional exhaustion, or daily pressures that feel hard to manage alone. Maybe you’ve noticed changes in your mood, motivation, relationships, or sense of direction. Individual counselling offers a safe, supportive, and collaborative space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface and find a way forward that feels right for you.
As a bilingual counsellor (English–Italian), I offer gentle, culturally attuned support for adults across Australia who want to improve their emotional wellbeing, deepen their understanding of themselves, and make meaningful changes in their lives. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, validated, and supported at every step.
How Individual Counselling Can Support You
People seek counselling for many different reasons — some are navigating big life challenges, while others simply want a space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with themselves. You might be:
feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly “on edge”
experiencing low mood, sadness, or a loss of motivation
navigating relationship, work, or family pressures
finding it difficult to regulate emotions or communicate needs
adjusting to major life transitions, identity changes, or migration
dealing with burnout, exhaustion, or chronic stress
seeking personal development, clarity, or emotional resilience
In our sessions, we look at what’s happening in your life right now, how past experiences might be influencing the present, and what tools, strategies, and insights can help you feel more grounded. Counselling is not about “fixing” you — it’s about supporting you to understand yourself with compassion and to develop helpful ways of coping and responding.
Together, we explore patterns that may be impacting your wellbeing, expand your emotional awareness, and build practical skills that help you move forward with strength and clarity.
My Approach to Counselling
My counselling style is warm, collaborative, and centred around your unique story. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I’m here to walk alongside you — offering guidance, reflection, and therapeutic tools to support your journey.
I draw from evidence-informed approaches such as:
Person-Centred Therapy — creating a safe, empathic space where you feel truly heard
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques — exploring thoughts, emotions, and behaviours
Emotion-focused strategies — helping you understand and work with your feelings
Attachment-based frameworks — exploring how early experiences shape relationships and identity
Trauma-informed principles — prioritising safety, regulation, and empowerment
These approaches are integrated in a flexible, personalised way based on your goals, needs, and preferences. Whether you want short-term, solution-focused support or longer-term therapeutic work, we tailor the process together.
Culturally Attuned Support — in English or Italian
As someone who has lived both in Australia and Italy, I deeply understand the emotional complexities of migration, identity, belonging, and family expectations across cultures. For many Italian and multicultural clients, counselling feels more comfortable and authentic when they can express themselves in their preferred language.
In our sessions, you are welcome to speak:
entirely in Italian
entirely in English
or naturally switch between both languages
Bilingual counselling allows space for your whole story — your culture, your values, your past, and the parts of yourself that come alive in each language. Your comfort and expression are at the centre of our work.
Online Counselling That Fits Your Life
All sessions are delivered online via secure telehealth, making support accessible no matter where you live in Australia. Online counselling offers many benefits, including:
flexibility around work, parenting, and personal responsibilities
the comfort of speaking from a familiar, safe environment
reduced travel time and stress
greater accessibility for people living regionally or rurally
Many clients find that online sessions help them feel more relaxed, open, and able to express themselves freely. Research shows online therapy is just as effective as in-person support.
What to Expect in Our Sessions
Your first session
Our initial session is a gentle introduction. We explore what brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain, and what support feels most helpful. There is no pressure to share anything before you’re ready — this time is simply for understanding your needs and beginning to build connection and trust.

Ongoing sessions
As we continue working together, we explore your experiences more deeply, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop tools to support your emotional wellbeing. Clients often describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more empowered as they grow in self-awareness and confidence.
Sessions are paced according to your comfort level. You decide what feels important to explore, and I guide the process with warmth, curiosity, and care.
