More about Grace
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- AASW
I am a credentialed therapist in Australia with over 8 years of professional experience. I work with both women and men, supporting them to build self worth, confidence, and authenticity, and to get real control back into their lives.
I specialise in helping women navigate self love, confidence, and relationships, as well as the transition into motherhood and other major life changes. I also work with men to sit with their own self esteem, confidence, and authenticity, often in ways they haven't had the space to explore before.
My work draws on somatics, parts work, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), alongside more traditional talk therapy. I support clients through communication and relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and navigating big life transitions such as career change or becoming a parent.
I am deeply passionate about creating an open and safe environment where clients feel empowered to share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Taking the first step to seek support takes courage, and I am proud of you for starting this journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
