Evolved Minds

About

Step into the tranquillity of my lovely counselling room in Myponga on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Set overlooking green fields, it is a private, secluded retreat that many have found inspiring for positive change and reflection.

Counselling allows us to examine issues of concern in a safe, supportive and confidential setting. Working one-on-one with a therapist can help us gain a better understanding of how to meet the various challenges we face in our lives. Counselling can help us to clarify a situation, get in touch with our thoughts and feelings around an issue and help us to explore our options and learn new strategies. Having the opportunity to fully express ourselves to another and be deeply heard without judgement can have a very positive effect.

About Me

I am an accredited Mental Health Social Worker, registered with the Australian Association of Social Workers. I began the first 17 years of my working life in health science research, before making a career change into social work in 2008. Since then, I have worked both in private practice and in the public sector. I have had extensive experience working with adults and adolescents across a range of issues including anxiety/depression, stress management, coping with loss and adjustment, chronic pain and addictions. Rather than creating dependence, my goal is to empower clients with the tools and strategies needed to create positive change that is long-lasting and life changing.

My specialities are:

Happiness/ Confidence /Self-Esteem/ Relationships/ Adjustment and Coping/ Resilience/ Anxiety/ Depression/ Stress/ Loss and Grief/ Addictions/ Chronic Pain/ Major Life Decisions/ Workplace issues/ Work Cover/ Veterans/ Gay/lesbian/LGBT

Fees

I offer affordable counselling services. If you have a mental health plan from a GP, you will receive a Medicare rebate, and your out of pocket expense will be only $40 per session.

If you are paying privately, the cost is $110 per session. Sessions are for 60 minutes.
