About
About Me, Insightly Counselling & Psychotherapy
I am a qualified counsellor and founder of Insightly Counselling & Psychotherapy, based in Indooroopilly, Brisbane.
I hold a Master of Autism Studies, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, a Postgraduate Certificate in Autism Studies and a Diploma of Counselling. I am a registered Level 1 member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).
I provide counselling to children, adolescents, adults and families, with a particular interest in supporting autistic and ADHD individuals.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, neuroaffirming and strengths-based. I believe counselling should be collaborative, respectful and tailored to each person's individual needs, experiences and goals.
I draw on evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness-based strategies.
Insightly offers flexible mobile and online counselling, including support for self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants.
My aim is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment where clients feel heard, understood and empowered to work towards meaningful change.
What a first session looks like
Your first session is all about getting to know each other and exploring what matters to you. I offer a calm, welcoming space where you can be yourself. We'll chat about your experiences, strengths, and what you'd like support with. My approach is neuro-affirming, strengths-based, and tailored to your individual needs. Whether you prefer a casual chat or a more structured approach, we'll find what works for you. Together, we'll explore practical strategies that support your wellbeing and help you move towards your goals, at your own pace.
