Counselling for individuals and couples
in or around the North-West of Sydney and Online across Australia.
Warm, practical counselling for anxiety, depression, grief & relationships.
I'm Bec, a registered counsellor and former paediatric oncology nurse. People usually come to me when something feels heavy, tangled or stuck: anxiety that won't settle, grief, a relationship that's lost its ease, or the weight of caring for someone.
Together we'll look at what's going on and why, and build practical tools you can use between sessions. I adapt to how you process things, whether that's talking, visuals, hands-on activities or quiet reflection.
I specialise in anxiety and depression, couples counselling, loss and grief, and disability and carer support.
Sessions are in person at Grantham Farm (near Riverstone) or online. If cost is a barrier, discounted sessions are available, so please ask.

About me
Hi, I'm Bec
I'm a registered counsellor with a Master of Counselling and a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA: R85458).
For 26 years I was a nurse, 24 of them in paediatric oncology. I spent that time with families on the hardest days of their lives, and I learned that people don't need fixing. They need to feel heard, and have someone steady beside them while they work out what comes next.
It also taught me that joy and sorrow, doubt and faith often sit side by side. Whatever you believe, you're welcome here.
My Approach
Client-centred
I believe you're the expert on your own life. My role is to help you understand what you're feeling and why, so things start to make sense. I have a client-centred approach, and you'll leave with practical tools to use between appointments.
People come to me for many reasons: anxiety that won't ease, depression, grief, or the tiredness of caring for someone else.
I see individuals and couples, including people living with disability and those who care for them. Often my clients are the ones everyone else leans on, and they've stopped asking where they can lean.
My office is located in Grantham Farm (near Riverstone) and i also offer online sessions.
Counselling therapy sessions are tailored to address your specific needs.
Abled Therapy Specialities
Loss and Grief Counselling
Honouring Loss and Embracing Life
Grief isn't something to 'get over' - it's something to walk through. Loss changes us, but it doesn't have to steal our joy. Counselling therapy provides a space to process the pain while making room for hope, helping you navigate life with both sorrow and joy hand in hand. You don't have to carry it alone-healing begins when you allow yourself to be heard. I can walk beside you as your in-person or online counsellor.
Anxiety & Depression Counselling
Find peace
Anxiety and depression can feel like a constant hum, a heavy weight, or a crashing wave - exhausting in different ways, yet often intertwined. Counselling offers a safe place to slow down, breathe, and gently untangle the thoughts and emotions that feel overwhelming. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface, build tools to navigate uncertainty and low mood, and create space for calm, clarity, and hope to return. You don’t have to stay stuck. Healing is possible, one step at a time.
Disability and Carer Support
Discover strength
Having a disability yourself or caring for someone with a disability can stir deep emotions - grief, exhaustion, even identity loss. Whether you're a parent, a sibling, or you're navigating your own diagnosis, the journey can be both beautiful and incredibly heavy. Counselling therapy offers a space to process what's been lost, acknowledge what's hard, and rediscover strength and purpose.
Couples Counselling
Create shared understanding.
Couples counselling offers a supportive, non-judgemental space for partners to explore challenges, understand unhelpful patterns in their relationship, and strengthen communication and emotional connection. Whether you’re navigating recurring conflict, feeling disconnected, adjusting to life changes, or wanting to deepen your relationship, therapy focuses on helping both partners feel heard and understood while working towards healthier patterns and shared goals.
Soul Care
Decluttering the inner life.
Soul Care is a 12-month program for people who want to give their faith and inner life steady attention. It isn't counselling, but faith-filled one-on-one mentoring. We meet once a month, and over time we gently sort through what you've been carrying: doubt, disappointment, hurt in faith communities, grief, and the expectations that no longer fit.
Testimonials
Stories and thanks we love to share
Bec is the loveliest, most approachable and gentle therapist. She helped both myself individually and my husband and me through couples therapy.
She asks what you would like to achieve during your sessions so she can tailor them to best suit your needs. Bec also provides tools that you can take away from your sessions, which really help to clarify and prioritise things you're struggling with, whilst also explaining how and why we feel certain emotions and why we act the way we do.
Booking is easily done through her website, and the therapy environment is warm and welcoming. I also found it very easy to talk to Bec and open up.
In my opinion, therapy should make you feel less burdened, hopeless and emotionally weighed down by whatever issues you may be experiencing — and Bec certainly did this for me.
"I honestly couldn't recommended Bec more. She is kind, gentle and creates a space where you truly feel seen and heard. Her wisdom and faith-filled approach have been incredibly grounding and working with her has genuinely change the way I approach day-to-day life. I leave each session feeling clearer, lighter and more equipped to navigate what's in front of me. I'm deeply grateful for the impact Bec's had on my life."
"We've never felt so seen, safe and understood than when we are sitting across the couch from Bec. She creates an atmosphere where you can be vulnerable and not ashamed, challenged but not dismissed. She's just a wonderful counsellor full stop."
"I didn't know what to expect going into counselling, but Bec has been amazing. She facilitates sessions in such a calm, supportive and non-judgemental way that immediately puts you at ease. She has a great ability to uncover blind spots and equip you with practical tools to face challenges with confidence. I'm really grateful for her care and would highly recommend her."
