Therapy that makes room for the whole you.
You are not a collection of symptoms to be fixed, and therapy doesn’t have to be a neat, linear journey from problem to insight to miraculously sorted.
Life is messier than that. So is 'healing'.

I offer individual therapy that draws from evidence-based approaches including EMDR and Schema Therapy, woven together with somatic and Breathwork Therapies, nature-based approaches, expressive arts, and traditional and Indigenous wisdom.

My work is integrative and holistic — which essentially means I bring the whole toolbox, rather than trying to squeeze you into one particular therapy-shaped box.

We might work with thoughts, emotions, memories and relationships. We might also pay attention to what is happening in your body, your nervous system, your environment, your culture, your history and the world around you.

Because sometimes the body knows something long before the brain has caught up.

There is no one-size-fits-all therapy.

Our work together is collaborative and individualised. We’ll figure out what feels useful, what fits your life, and what actually works for you — rather than forcing you into a predetermined treatment plan.

There is space here for serious things, messy things, uncomfortable things — and for laughter, curiosity and the occasional “well, that explains a lot.”

We may explore trauma and how it lives in the body, patterns that keep showing up in relationships, the impact of our personal and social histories, identity, grief, connection, boundaries, self-compassion and the complicated business of becoming more fully yourself.

I see life as an intricate web: we are shaped by our relationships, communities, cultures, histories and environments. Growth rarely moves in a straight line. It loops, spirals, stalls, surprises us and occasionally takes a completely unexpected detour.

And that is not failure.
That is the work.

Therapy can be a place to imagine something different.

Our work may invite more space for rest, breath, movement, play, creativity, nature and imagination.

Together, we might explore radical acceptance and compassion, resilience and connection, your relationship with your body, your relationship with others, and the things you want to grow more of in your life.

Because what we give our energy to tends to expand.
And you get to decide what deserves your energy.

How I work

I offer:

• Psychological Interventions

• EMDR

• Schema Therapy

• Somatic Therapies

• Breathwork Assisted Therapy

• Nature-based therapy
   

Sometimes the most helpful support is outside my particular scope. When that happens, I may recommend working alongside another trusted practitioner — such as a massage therapist, naturopath, osteopath or other allied health professional.

Therapy does not have to happen in isolation. We are interconnected beings, after all.

Therapy Options

Therapy, wherever you are.

Therapy doesn’t have to mean sitting in a waiting room, battling traffic or rearranging your entire day to get across town.

I currently offer all therapy sessions via Telehealth, giving you the flexibility to access support from wherever feels most comfortable for you.

Sessions are available Australia-wide via secure video conferencing or phone, depending on your preferences and what works best for you.

You might be curled up on the couch, sitting in your garden, hiding from the world under a weighted blanket — wherever you feel safe enough and able to show up as yourself.
Because sometimes being at home is exactly what makes therapy more accessible.

Funding & Rebates

Medicare

You may be eligible for a Medicare rebate through the Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative.
To access Medicare rebates, you will generally need to see your GP to discuss your mental health needs and obtain an appropriate referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan.

If you are eligible, you pay the full private fee and I process the Medicare rebate after your appointment. The current Medicare rebate for a standard 50-minute psychology consultation is $101.50, which is paid directly to your linked Medicare account.

Rebates generally arrive within 24–48 hours once processed.

NDIS

I accept Self Managed and Plan Managed NDIS participants.
After your initial session, we can create a Service Level Agreement outlining your therapy goals and the frequency of sessions, in a way that aligns with your NDIS plan.

For Self Managed participants, I provide an invoice after each session so you can make your claim with the NDIS.

For Plan Managed participants, invoices can be sent directly to your Plan Manager for payment.

Private Health Insurance

You may also be able to claim psychology appointments through your private health insurance, depending on your level of cover.

You pay the full private fee at the time of your appointment and I provide a paid invoice that you can submit to your health fund.

The amount you can claim depends on your individual policy.

Private Clients

You are also very welcome to access therapy privately without Medicare, NDIS or private health insurance funding.

How to Book

Ready to see whether we might be a good fit?
You can send an enquiry or email info@casuarinaholisticpsychology.com.au.

I’ll send you the information you need and we can continue via email, or arrange a brief phone call if you have questions before booking.

Once your appointment is booked, I’ll send through intake and consent forms to complete before our first session.

An initial appointment is secured with pre-payment 24 hours before the appointment. For ongoing appointments, payment is due on the day of your session.

Cancellation Policy

Your appointment is reserved for you.

When an appointment is booked, that time is set aside specifically for you and cannot usually be offered to someone else at short notice.

I understand that plans can change and unexpected things happen. At the same time, maintaining a clear cancellation policy allows me to protect appointment availability, manage the practice sustainably and offer timely appointments to other clients.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, at least 48 hours’ notice is required.

The following cancellation fees apply:

• 48–24 hours’ notice: 75% of the current consultation fee

• Less than 24 hours’ notice: 100% of the current consultation fee

These fees apply to cancellations and rescheduling within the specified timeframes, including where unexpected circumstances arise.

Thank you for respecting the time we have set aside for your therapy.
