Individual counselling

Just you and a counsellor who listens.

One-on-one counselling around what's going on in your life, with warmth and experience in every session.

What is individual counselling?

A one-on-one space that's yours.

Individual counselling is a one-on-one space between you and a qualified counsellor. It's for processing what's going on in your life, the difficult things, the confusing parts, and the "I don't even know how to put this into words" moments.

There's no template here. We work with what's happening for you, whether that's persistent anxiety, a sadness you're carrying, grief you don't know what to do with, or feeling stuck.

Our approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic, Humanistic/Person-Centred, Interpersonal, Solution-Focused, and elements of Play Therapy.

Who is this for?

  • Anyone going through a rough time and wanting support
  • NDIS participants with counselling funded in their plan
  • People dealing with anxiety, depression, or burnout
  • Anyone going through grief, loss, or big life changes
  • People who want practical tools as well as conversation
  • Those who've tried therapy before and want something that fits better
What a session looks like

Sessions are unhurried and conversational.

You talk, we listen, properly

Your first sessions are about us understanding what's going on for you, the full picture.

We build a picture together

We figure out what's driving what, the patterns, the triggers, the history. This shapes the plan.

You get practical tools

Strategies you can use between sessions, ones that fit how you think and how you live.

We adjust as we go

If something's not working, we change it. Each session responds to where you're at that week.

You leave with something each session

Every session should leave you with something: a new way of looking at things, a skill, some clarity.

Session options

In-clinic (Thomastown), in-home visits, telehealth (video), or community-based. NDIS & fee-for-service.

Cost, eligibility & getting started

The questions people ask before their first session.

What it costs

Pricing follows the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. What a session costs depends on the type of session and whether it's a weekday, evening, or weekend. You can also access counselling privately, without NDIS funding. Cost is always confirmed in writing before anything starts.

Am I eligible?

Individual counselling is typically funded under Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living. If your plan includes that funding, you can use it here. If you're unsure what's in your plan, your support coordinator or plan manager can check. You don't need a diagnosis to reach out.

Where we work

We're based in Thomastown and work across Greater Melbourne, including the northern, western, and eastern suburbs. Sessions are also available online through telehealth, and some support extends into regional Victoria.

How to start

Reach out by phone, our contact form, or email. The first conversation is about what you're looking for, and you share as much as you want to. From there we match you with a counsellor who suits you, usually within a few business days.

Counselling starts with one conversation.

Give us a call and we'll plan the first one together.
