More about Candyce
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- PACFA
I am a registered clinical Counsellor with over 5 years' experience in Australia, holding professional memberships with both the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and the Counselling Association of Australia (ACA).
Navigating my own challenges and experiences—such as addictive and self-harming behaviours, psychosocial difficulties, cancer, work-related injury, grief and loss, and various life transitions like moving abroad and changing careers—alongside witnessing broader societal inequalities and unrest, has profoundly shaped my approach as a counsellor. With qualifications including a Master of Counselling, a Graduate Certificate of Addictive Behaviours, a Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling, I bring both knowledge and empathy to my practice.
Inspired by the human potential for resilience and acceptance, I am able to work with you on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, illness or other physical conditions, motivation, stress, trauma, relationship issues, self-discovery, identity, and more. I am also able to support you with addictive and self-harming behaviours at various stages of change and facilitate processes to navigate associated impacts such as shame and stigma which can influence recovery.
I value integrity, inclusivity and confidentiality in practice and also adopt a person-centred, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented approach, ensuring our sessions are collaborative, progress at your pace, and are shaped by your values and goals. While I may draw on evidence-based therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Relapse Prevention, I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths which will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
I realise it takes courage to seek support towards discovering a more meaningful and fulfilling life and to change. Your wellbeing is my priority, and I am here to support & empower you along the way.
No matter what you're facing, I'm here to help and look forward to meeting and supporting you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
