Let us find your footing, together
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply tired of carrying the weight alone, please know there is quiet, safe support waiting for you here.
You do not need to have your thoughts organised, you do not need to have a diagnosis, and you do not need to know exactly what to say. We begin exactly where you are today, at a pace that feels comfortable, safe, and completely in your control.
There is absolutely no obligation, pressure, or expectation when you reach out. This is simply a safe starting point.
Preparing for your first session
Anxiety before contacting a therapist is completely normal. Here is some reassurance, so you can feel comfortable taking this next step.
No, you do not need any formal medical referral to make contact, start counselling, or organize online coaching. You can independently book whenever you feel ready. However, if you would like to claim Medicare rebates, you will need to organize a Mental Health Care Plan through your General Practitioner first.
We treat all communications with the highest standard of privacy. Your online inquiries, phone calls, and email messages are handled directly by Richard, protected by professional confidentiality standards, and never shared with external parties.
This is extremely common. The initial session is completely non-demanding, unhurried, and safe. There is no pressure to share painful details immediately, we simply get comfortable and work entirely at your personal pace.
