I’m Robbie, a Mental Health Therapist with postgraduate training in mental health therapy and counselling. I have experience across government, non-government, and private sectors, working with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

I am an Approved Counsellor under the NSW Victims Services scheme, providing government-funded support to individuals impacted by crime, including family and domestic violence, sexual assault, and other traumatic events.

I offer a free 10-minute consultation to help you decide if we're the right fit before committing to a full session. I provide affordable individual and couples therapy using a strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach, tailored to your goals and needs.

 FAQs

  • Most of my sessions are offered via Telehealth (Phone or Video), but I also provide Walk and Talk Therapy for in-person sessions in the community. This is available in Newcastle, Maitland, the Central Coast, and the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

  • No, I currently do not accept medicare, mental health care plans, or private health insurance.

  • The sessions are all currently at the fixed rate of 100 dollars (200 for couples). This amount is often cheaper than what you would pay in a gap fee to a mental health professional with a mental health care plan. There is no limit on the number of sessions you can access when seeing me.

    I also offer a free 10-minute consultation is an opportunity for us to connect before committing to a full session. It’s a brief, no-obligation call where you can ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and learn more about how I approach therapy. This is a great way to see if I’m the right therapist for you, and it gives you the chance to ease any concerns or uncertainty about starting therapy.

    If you are approved for counselling through NSW Victims Services, there is no cost to see me—sessions are fully funded by the NSW Government.
