Counselling for life transitions, identity and coping patterns
Western Sydney and online across Australia
Counselling for adults navigating life transitions, overwhelm, identity shifts
and coping patterns including substance use — with grounded, trauma-informed,
culturally attuned support.
Early morning and after-work appointments. No referral, no diagnosis, nothing on your
medical record.
Sessions in English, हिंदी and
ગુજરાતી.
No cost. No obligation. No referral needed.
Perhaps this is familiar
On paper, you may have arrived
And still feel emotionally stretched, and known only in fragments.
Perhaps you’re carrying a life transition nobody around you fully sees — a migration,
a career change, a relationship ending, becoming a parent. Perhaps there’s grief that has no
clear name and no obvious permission to be spoken about.
Or perhaps the ways you’ve been coping — a drink at the end of the day, work that never
stops, a habit you don’t discuss — once protected you, and now feel too heavy to carry alone.
You don’t need a crisis, a diagnosis, or the right words to begin.
What I work with
Cultural identity and belonging →
The gap between two sets of rules, and belonging to neither cleanly.
Unspoken grief →
Grief with no funeral, no card and no name — for a home, a country, a version of yourself.
Life transitions →
Migration, career change, relationships, becoming a parent — change that’s bigger inside than it looks outside.
Coping patterns and substance use →
Alcohol, other drugs, gambling, overworking — including if you’re unsure you want to change.
EMDR-informed trauma work →
Working with what feels stuck, without having to retell everything.
Overwhelm and burnout
Functioning well by every external measure, and struggling considerably underneath it.
Availability
The edges of the day
Appointments before work and after it, Monday to Friday. You don’t have to take
leave, rearrange your morning, or explain to anyone where you’re going.
Why people choose to work privately
Nothing goes on your record
You don’t have to explain your family first
Cultural expectation, obligation, migration, the gap between two sets of rules — these
aren’t treated as symptoms here, and they don’t need translating before we can begin.
No Medicare, by design
As a PACFA registered Clinical Counsellor, my sessions aren’t Medicare rebated. For many
people that’s the point: no GP appointment, no Mental Health Care Plan, no diagnosis on file,
no ten-session cap, and no letter going back to a doctor who may also know your family.
Times that need no explanation
6am, 7am, 5pm, 6pm and 7pm, Monday to Friday, online anywhere in Australia.
No waitlist
You can begin when you’re ready, not in four months.
Substance use, without a file
Alcohol, other drugs, gambling, overworking — discussed by someone who does this
clinically every week, with no diagnosis recorded and nothing going back to your GP. You
don’t have to arrive certain that you want to stop.
Three languages, if you want them
Sessions are available in English, Hindi or Gujarati. Most people stay in English; some move
between languages depending on what they’re describing. Either is fine.
If it would help
Counselling in Hindi or Gujarati
Not everyone wants this, and it isn’t required. But if there’s something that only makes
sense in a first language, it’s here.
Start here
A conversation, not a commitment
Fifteen minutes, free, no obligation. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here
and whether I’m the right fit. If I’m not, I’ll tell you and help you find someone who is.
