Frequently Asked Questions

When you come home to yourself, relating to life and others becomes much easier. Integrative Psychotherapy uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are chosen based on what will best support each person’s needs. This approach is informed by research in neuroscience, attachment, and trauma, and it recognises that our mental, emotional, and physical experiences are deeply connected.

Lasting change involves understanding how our experiences, including trauma and early life challenges, shape how we move through the world today. Trauma and long-term stress do not live only in our thoughts or memories—they are also held in the body and nervous system. Our feelings affect how we think, and our thoughts influence how we behave. Unease on these levels impacts our health and relationships.

Integrative Psychotherapy aims to approach your challenges using varying techniques with a goal to support you to feel more regulated and safe, so you can reconnect with a sense of vitality and presence. By working with both mind and body, this holistic approach supports greater self-awareness and choice, while helping reduce reliance on coping strategies and defensive patterns that no longer serve you.

Standard individual sessions are 55 minutes in length. Standard couple’s sessions are 55 minutes. Extended couple's sessions are available upon request and are generally 85 minutes. Group therapy sessions are 120 minutes.

This depends on your needs and goals. Many clients begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions to build momentum, then move to bi-weekly or monthly as progress stabilises. You can decide what frequency feels most supportive for you. If you are beginning therapy, I suggest more regular contact early in the process and tapering off towards the end of treatment.

There is no fixed number. Some people come for a few sessions to address a specific issue, while others engage in longer-term work focused on personal growth, relationships, or complex trauma recovery. My goal is to support you on why you chose to seek therapy. I want to empower you with your own tool kit so that I become redundant.

An invoice or receipt can be provided for each session upon request. If you’re claiming through private health insurance or other reimbursement options, please check your provider’s requirements.

I ask for at least 48 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or missed sessions may incur the full session fee, except in cases of emergency or unexpected illness.

Finding the right fit is one of the most important parts of therapy. I encourage you to book an initial session or sign up for a free 20min discovery call to see if talking to me feels comfortable and whether my approach is aligned with your needs. If I’m not a fit, I will be more than happy to refer you to other practitioners based on your preferences.

It’s natural to feel vulnerable or uncertain when exploring personal issues. Part of the work is learning to bring these experiences into the room so they can be understood and worked through safely. This builds relational resilience and is great way to practice vulnerability and honesty. You are always in control of the pace and depth of the therapeutic process.

I offer sessions in-person on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. I also provide secure teletherapy sessions for clients via Zoom. Both formats follow the same trauma-informed principles, and we can discuss which option best supports your needs.
