Privacy Statement
Confidence in privacy is centrally important to an effective therapeutic relationship. It’s important to me that I have your informed consent about how I handle your information. I am happy to calibrate the policy to suit your preference.The following policy will be used as default, unless you express a preference for modification:1. I will never sell any data you provide.2. I may take notes during our sessions to keep on top of important information.
This serves several purposes:
- it allows me to keep track of details while you’re sharing a complex story
- If minimises the times I’ll ask you to repeat information
- it allows me to refresh myself prior to subsequent sessions, so I have a clear understanding of you (distinct from other clients)3. The notes I take are de-identified i.e. not linked to any personal information you used to make the booking (name, contact details, etc.)4. I may discuss, in general de-identified terms, aspects of our sessions with other people.
This is important for my professional development. I would never discuss our sessions in a way that would risk making you identifiable, or would breach the federal Privacy Act (1988)5. If in the future I write a book etc., I may contact you for approval to use your story.
Use the form below to indicate you have read the Privacy Policy (above).If you click 'Accept' without comments, I will not discuss it during our call.If you have any questions, feel free to raise them in the comment section, or mentioning them at any time during our sessions.

Pay on results
My pricing is entirely client-centered:
It is built on mutual trust and the belief that people value services fairly when given the choice.You share what results you seek + specify bounty if achieved.We work together intensively & you apply learnings in your relationship.Pay when you feel satisfied — no results, no charge.This aligns our incentives in stark contrast with typical 'pay-by-the-hour' relationship therapy. If I'm not confident we can solve your relationship problem, I'll swiftly refer you. I won't waste your time/money.Your financial contribution will never affect the quality of care or my commitment to confidentiality and respect for your journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
If they share your enthusiasm for working through what you’re finding challenging, then their presence can be really helpful.
However if schedules or willingness complicate things, then we can still be incredibly productive individually (in fact, I recommend calling solo for the first session!).
We’ll discuss strategies that will help create the space for reconnection and growth regardless of where you’re each starting from.
If unsure, book a free enquiry call.
Prepare a setting where you can relax and talk freely.
For many people that’s in the comfort of their home, for others, it’s out on a stroll in nature (perhaps a bit less private, but that’s up to you).Allow some time afterwards to quietly reflect on what we’ve discussed.
There are 2 main reasons:
Connection
Helpline policy discourages personal connections. So when a caller would say “I’d like to check in with you after I try what we’ve discussed”, we’re pushed to encourage them to accept that their next call will likely be with someone else. It’s still an incredible service. Sometimes a one-off call for a quick-fix is enough. However while I appreciate the requirements of that business model, it’s more impersonal than I’d like. I want to offer a deeper, more stable connection which caters to broader needs of clients and feels more fulfilling for me.
Flexibility
I want to work my own hours. Although in the short-term I’ve opened my calendar up, I intend to limit availability when I have a better gauge of demand
A therapeutic relationship is one that enables authentic expression.
Ideally, all relationships can be therapeutic. In reality, this is rarely the case.
The social pressure to maintain particular identities results in performance which stifles authenticity.
A therapist is a person whose role is to facilitate authenticity and to reflect with empathy and insight.
Confidentiality means you can freely express yourself without the fear of gossip that’s inherent in traditional relationships. You have the space to think out loud, and to receive insight from a nonjudgemental mind that is on your team.
When you book an appointment with me, it’s dedicated time where we work together toward your goals.
Yes, but not typically for the first session. For subsequent sessions, I'm happy to arrange face-to-face. I strongly encourage this for couples/groups.
