Taking new clients
Currently accepting referrals, with no waitlist for most presentations.
For professionals
Referrals
Refer a client, and I will take it from there
For GPs, paediatricians, psychologists, schools, NDIS providers, community services and fellow practitioners. I see children, teenagers, adults, couples and families in Craigieburn and online across Australia.
No referral type required
Clients can also self-refer. A GP referral or care plan is not needed to book.
In person or online
Craigieburn rooms, telehealth Australia-wide, and in-home play therapy where it helps.
Who I can take

How to refer
-
Send the referral
Send the client's basic details using the form below, or phone or email me.
-
I confirm receipt
You will hear back within two business days, letting you know whether I can take the client and roughly when they can be seen. If I am not the right fit, I will say so and suggest where else to look.
-
I contact the client
I reach out directly to arrange an intake session. For children, that first session is with parents or carers only, so we can talk freely before any work with the child begins.
-
We stay in touch
With the client's written consent, I am glad to provide brief progress updates or a summary letter, and to coordinate care with you, the school or an NDIS team.
What to include
- Client's name, date of birth and best contact number or email
- For children, the parent or carer's details
- A one-sentence reason for referral
- Whether they are seeking in-person, telehealth, or either
- Funding, if relevant — private, NDIS self or plan-managed, or private health
Please don't send diagnoses or risk details by email or this form; I'll ask for what I need when we speak.
Please have the client's consent before sending their information. Fees and rebates are listed on the Fees & Rebates page.

Good to know
Not a crisis service
If your client is at immediate risk, please direct them to 000, their nearest emergency department, or Lifeline on 13 11 14. I am glad to pick up care once they are safe and stable.
No Medicare rebate
As a registered counsellor, my sessions do not attract a Medicare rebate, so a Mental Health Care Plan is not needed. Many clients claim from their private health fund after paying, and I am a registered provider with Medibank, ahm, Bupa and HCF, and an accredited ARHG provider.
Registration, checks and insurance
ACA-Registered Level 3 Counsellor (Member No. 19715), ACA Registered Supervisor (ACA College of Supervisors), current Working with Children Check, NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, National Police Check, and Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance.
Have someone in mind?
Send through what you have, or call if you would rather talk it over first. I am always happy to discuss whether I am the right fit before a referral is made.
