Online Counselling Australia | Meet Our Virtual Therapy Team

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is available as online psychology sessions across Australia. CBT is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach focused on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that may be affecting your wellbeing. Throughout our sessions, you’ll learn practical strategies to challenge negative thinking and develop skills that support confidence and resilience.

CBT helps address a wide range of concerns:

• Anxiety and panic attacks

• Depression and low mood

• Post-traumatic stress and trauma-related difficulties

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

• Social anxiety and shyness

• Stress and burnout

• Sleep issues

• Relationship challenges

Evidence supports CBT for a broad spectrum of mental health issues. Its skills can provide lifelong tools for managing stress, tackling setbacks, and making positive changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is delivered via virtual online therapy, designed to support women throughout Australia. ACT guides you to accept challenging emotions, connect with your personal values, and commit to actions that bring meaning and purpose. Sessions focus on psychological flexibility—learning to respond to life’s challenges with openness, resilience, and self-compassion.

ACT can provide support with:

• Chronic worry or rumination

• Stress and anxiety

• Depression and low mood

• Avoidance of difficult emotions

• Perfectionism or self-criticism

• Relationship challenges

• Feeling disconnected from your values

• Managing long-term health or pain

As research grows, ACT is increasingly relied on for both everyday stress and complex life difficulties. If you would like support to move forward in a values-based direction, ACT can offer simple yet powerful strategies.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is accessible securely as an online option for women and girls across Australia. EMDR uses a structured, eight-phase process involving bilateral stimulation techniques—like eye movements or tapping—while focusing on disturbing memories or emotions. This process is designed to reduce distress and create more adaptive perspectives over time.

EMDR assists with:

• PTSD and complex trauma

• Anxiety and panic

• Depression

• Grief, loss, and significant life changes

• Repetitive negative thoughts and flashbacks

• Sleep difficulties or distressing memories

• Perinatal and postnatal symptoms and traumas

With training in complex trauma EMDR and neurodiversity-affirming practice, sessions are adapted to support your needs and pace. EMDR has a robust evidence base for trauma recovery delivered online or in-person. Learn more at my my comprehensive EMDR page.

Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBiT) is an interactive online therapy available Australia-wide for people living with Tourette syndrome or persistent tic disorders. CBiT combines awareness training, habit reversal, and tailored behavioural strategies. Sessions focus on building tools to manage tics in daily life.

CBiT can help with:

• Tourette syndrome

• Persistent motor or vocal tics

• Anxiety or social challenges linked to tics

• Functional problems at school, work or in social settings

CBiT is widely recommended internationally as a first-line intervention for tic disorders, with research showing its usefulness for both children and adults. CBiT often involves 8 to 10 weekly sessions. Find more details on my CBiT and tics page.

DBT is offered via secure online counselling for women across Australia. DBT combines cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness strategies to help people manage strong emotions, tolerate distress, and build healthy relationships.

• Intense emotions or mood swings

• Relationship conflict

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is available as virtual sessions across Australia. This approach recognises that trauma and stress affect both mind and body. By bringing gentle, mindful awareness to sensations, posture, and movement, sessions can support your natural process of managing difficult experiences.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy can provide support with:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Feeling disconnected from your body

• Physical symptoms tied to stress or anxiety

• Chronic muscular tension

With roots in neuroscience, mindfulness, and attachment research, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is adapted for online care and is well-supported in the evidence.

Transformational Chairwork is facilitated as online sessions, using the "empty chair" technique to help you explore, process, and find insight into challenging feelings, relationship patterns, or inner conflicts in a secure, virtual format. Transformational Chairwork uses dialogue and role play to promote understanding, emotional growth, and self-reflection.

Transformational Chairwork can help with:

• Unresolved trauma

• Grief or loss

• Relationship patterns

• Internal critic or self-doubt

• Making difficult decisions or processing 'unfinished' experiences

The Transformational Chairwork technique is a well-researched experiential method, supporting new perspectives and greater clarity. Telehealth sessions make Transformational Chairwork accessible for anyone in Australia.

Narrative Therapy is delivered securely online and is suitable for individuals, couples, and families across Australia. Originating in Adelaide, this collaborative, non-pathologising approach focuses on the stories people tell about their lives, helping separate you from problems and encouraging new perspectives. Core principles include externalisation (seeing problems as separate from yourself), re-authoring (rewriting personal narratives), and highlighting unique outcomes (strengths and exceptions to problem patterns). Narrative Therapy supports issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment difficulties, and cultural identity exploration, empowering people to reclaim confidence and navigate change.

Mindfulness-based therapies, such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), focus on present-moment awareness, helping you anchor attention, navigate thoughts without judgement, and develop skills to release physical tension and stress knots. Sessions typically involve practical exercises in mindfulness, body awareness, and thought navigation, which you can explore from a comfortable location with flexible scheduling options. Mindfulness-based therapies have an established evidence base for supporting anxiety, depression, stress, chronic pain, and enhancing overall wellbeing.
