Hey there, my name is Justine and I’m a PACFA Certified Clinical Counsellor. I bring a warm, gentle, and down-to-earth approach to my work, supporting both adults and teenagers as they navigate anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship challenges, identity, and life transitions. I understand that life can be incredibly tough at times, and I offer a safe, supportive space where you can feel truly heard. With compassion, curiosity, and genuine respect, I walk alongside each person on their unique journey toward clarity, healing, and growth.
My approach is collaborative and client-centred, drawing on evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and person-centred counselling. Every session is tailored to your individual needs — there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. Together, we explore what matters most to you in a space where you feel safe, valued, and empowered.
I hold a Bachelor of Counselling from the Australian College of Applied Professions (ACAP) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Positive Psychology. I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with their strengths and move forward with clarity, resilience, and confidence.

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.
