Bringing Country Calm to Busy Minds
Hey! Thanks for being here - I'm Bonnie.
I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with 8 years’ experience across school counselling, community services, trauma support, small business support, and natural disaster recovery. I work with individuals aged 5 and above, tailoring therapy to your needs and pace, and supporting mental health recovery.
I take a relational, relaxed approach, creating a space for open, transparent conversations. Based in regional Victoria, I support clients in person, via telehealth, or through outreach, working alongside you to get back on track and toward where you want to be.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
