FAQs

  • Yes. Many women think change is impossible without their partner’s involvement, but the truth is, it only takes one person to shift the dynamic. By working on your communication, self-worth, and boundaries, you create a ripple effect that often inspires positive change in your relationship.

  • Not at all. People avoid counselling for many reasons—fear, shame, or simply not knowing what to expect. Your partner’s reluctance isn’t a reflection of your worth or of the love in your relationship - it’s often a refecltion of the shame they carry around not being ‘enough’. Individual counselling allows you to take action now, rather than staying stuck until they’re ready.

  • That’s okay—counselling is the perfect place to explore those feelings. We’ll unpack what’s happening, give you clarity about your needs, and support you in making the best decision for yourself (without pressure). If you choose to leave, it should be conscious decision.

  • It’s not about fixing your partner—it’s about focusing on your own growth. In individual counselling, we work on building resilience, strengthening your self-worth, establishing healthier boundaries, and improving communication. When you change the way you show up in your relationship, the dynamic naturally shifts. This often influences your partner’s behaviour too, because they respond to a new version of you. From there, your partner is faced to grow with you, or without you. Either way, you won’t be repeating the same patterns ,that led to these dynamics - with your current patner or a future one.

  • Absolutely not. The tools you learn—self-worth, boundary setting, communication, emotional regulation—stay with you. They’ll not only help you navigate separation or divorce with strength but also prepare you for healthier future relationships.

  • If you’re in a relationship where there’s emotional, physical, sexual, or financial abuse—or you feel controlled, monitored, or afraid—it’s important to know you’re not alone, and that help is available. Abuse and coercive control are serious issues, and leaving isn’t always simple or safe. It’s okay if you’re not ready to leave right now. Together, we can explore what’s happening, help you understand your options, and develop a safety plan that feels right for you.

    While I can’t provide legal advice, I can refer you to specialised community services for extra support, including those that assist with safety planning, housing, and legal guidance. If you are in immediate danger, please call 000 or contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) — a free, confidential 24/7 national service for family and domestic violence support.

    I also want to note that men can also experience family domestic violence.

  • In many cases, yes — you can use your NDIS funding for individual (1:1) counselling sessions if the support aligns with your NDIS goals. This might include goals around improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, emotional regulation, self-care, confidence, or building independence.

    NDIS funding can’t be used for couples counselling, but individual sessions are often appropriate when they directly support your disability-related needs. The NDIS allows participants to work with counsellors who are members of the Australian Counselling Association (that’s me!)), accredited with PACFA, or provisionally registered psychologists with AHPRA.

    If you’re unsure whether your plan covers counselling, you can check in with your plan manager or support coordinator for clarification.
