Individual Therapy for Adults

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, individual therapy for adults provides a safe and supportive space to explore what is happening beneath the surface. Safe Home Psychotherapy prioritises a strong therapeutic relationship, recognising that feeling seen, heard, and respected can be an important part of meaningful therapeutic work.

A Body-Centred Approach to Healing

My work integrates Internal Family Systems Therapy, Hakomi, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. These gentle, body-oriented approaches can support people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties.

Through somatic and body-based psychotherapy, we can explore how thoughts, emotions, memories, and experiences are connected with the body. You can also learn more about the benefits of psychotherapy and how therapeutic approaches may support personal growth and emotional wellbeing.

These experiential approaches can help you understand patterns that may have developed earlier in life and develop new ways of responding to yourself and the world around you.

Build a Respectful Relationship with Every Part of You

I also incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, a mindful and compassionate framework that helps you develop a more respectful relationship with your inner world. IFS recognises that every part of you has a role and that difficult emotions do not need to be fought or rejected.

Through this process of self-discovery and inner parts work, I help you better understand your emotions, develop greater self-awareness, and reconnect with a stronger sense of self-leadership.

What You Can Expect

Individual therapy can help you develop skills to regulate emotions, process unresolved experiences, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can explore the patterns that may be affecting your wellbeing, relationships, and everyday life.
The first session provides an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, establish a therapeutic relationship, and consider what you would like to work towards.

Who Is Suitable for Individual Therapy

People choose individual therapy in Sydney for many reasons, and you don't need to be in crisis to start. Some adults feel flat or restless without knowing why. Others notice old hurts resurfacing at work or in friendships. Curiosity about yourself is enough to start.

What Happens During the First Session

Our first session will involve a gentle conversation. I will ask what brought you in, what you hope for, and what support you have had before.

If you have never tried therapy, that is perfectly fine. You set the pace, and nothing needs to be rushed or re-lived until you’re ready.

Bondi Junction Clinic and Telehealth

If you are looking for individual counselling in Bondi Junction, my clinic offers a quiet, private setting for our sessions. Telehealth is also available if you live further away, travel is tricky, or you simply feel more at ease at home.

Fees and Medicare Rebates

The session costs $180. Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate through a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, so it helps to speak with your doctor first. I would rather you know the cost upfront, so please ask about fees or rebates before booking.

Choosing a Therapist Who Fits

Finding the right person matters as much as the method. When seeking individual therapy in Sydney, pay attention to how comfortable you feel with the therapist because this comfort influences everything that follows.
