Accessibility
Our offices for counselling in North Canberra are located on the first floor with no lift access. If you have mobility issues, telehealth counselling is available and may suit you better. Please discuss any other accessibility needs so that we can do our best to accommodate them.
Accommodations
I aim to make my counselling space as comfortable and accessible as possible for clients. Sensory and other individual needs are welcomed and respected. Please say, for example, if you need adjusted lighting or to move and stim. You don’t need to mask or fit a particular mould with me. We can work together to create an environment that supports your regulation and safety so you can be your authentic self.
