Fees & Services

Individual Counselling

Counselling is a space for you. It's somewhere to pause, breathe, and work through the things that feel heavy or confusing. In our sessions, we'll explore what's on your mind at your pace, whether that's navigating motherhood, relationships, life transitions, or simply wanting to feel like you don't want to scream all the time. My role isn't to "fix" you, but to support you in making real change. Individual counselling gives you the time and space to be truly heard, while building clarity and confidence in the direction you want to take. 

Individual Online Counselling

Online therapy gives you the space to work through life's messiness from the comfort of home. No travel, no babysitters, no stress. Whether you're overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, or just tired of keeping it all together, we'll unpack it at your pace and figure out what actually helps.

50 Minutes | Via Zoom

In-Between Session Check-In

Sometimes you just need a little extra support between your regular sessions. This shorter check-in is for existing clients who want to touch base, reflect on progress, or get guidance during a challenging week. It's a practical way to stay connected and supported without waiting for your next full session.

30 Minutes | Via Zoom

Shorter Online Session

A shorter, more affordable session designed for those who aren't quite ready to commit to ongoing 50-minute therapy. This option offers a starting point where you can explore your concerns, gain clarity, and decide whether counselling feels right for you. All without the pressure of a longer session.

30 Minutes | Via Zoom

Individual In-Person Counselling

Prefer to talk face-to-face, in a calm, private space where you can breathe and be heard? My Bowral office is a welcoming spot to press pause and focus on you. No masks, no judgement. Just real support for whatever you're carrying. Thursdays only. 

Start with booking a 15-min phone call.

Free Consultation Call

Starting therapy can feel scary. It's a big step. If you aren't sure if therapy is right for you or if I'm the right fit for you, this free 15-minute phone call gives you a chance to ask questions, share what's going on, and see how it feels to connect. No pressure, no big story needed, just a casual chat to see if we're a good fit.

After-Care Program

Finishing active therapy doesn't always mean saying goodbye. My After-Care Program is designed to give you ongoing support as you continue to put your insights and strategies into practice. Once you complete active therapy, you'll have the option to book a check-in session every 3 months for a year.

​

These sessions are there to help you maintain the progress you've made, notice early signs of stress or relapse, and stay connected with the tools that support your wellbeing. There's no upfront cost or obligation. Think of it as a safety net: a space to reflect, recalibrate, and re-engage if life throws something new your way.

​

This program allows you to keep working with the same therapist you've already built trust with, rather than starting again with someone new, making the transition out of regular therapy smoother and more supportive.

​

The After-Care Program provides you with the ongoing option to re-engage in active therapy at any time. 

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I didn't realise how much I was holding until I started to unpack with Claire. She gave it to me straight but made me feel so safe.

-A

I was terrified to start therapy. I didn't know what it was going to bring up for me. Claire made the space light and comfortable even when working through the heaviest things.

-J

I didn't realise how much of my childhood was affecting how I was showing up for my kids. I've been able to work through these experiences with Claire and I feel so much lighter now.
