I offer professional counselling services for individuals, children, parents, and families. Support areas include emotional wellbeing, anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, life transitions, concerns around food, body image, and supporting children through emotional or behavioural challenges. Counselling is tailored to each client in a safe and supportive environment.

Getting started is simple. You can reach out in the way that feels most comfortable for you — via email at alburyfamilycounselling@gmail.com, through the contact form on my website, or by sending a direct message on Instagram @alburyfamilycounselling.

Once you make contact, we can talk about what you’re looking for, answer any questions you may have, and discuss the next steps.

I am a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and have over 18 years’ experience working with children and young people. I am deeply passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and families to build confidence, emotional understanding, and resilience.

I also bring lived experience of eating-related challenges during my early teenage years, which allows me to approach concerns around self-esteem, body image, and emotional wellbeing with empathy, care, and sensitivity — always within my professional scope of practice.

My approach focuses on helping young people recognise their strengths, develop confidence, and better understand their potential to flourish in life.

I aim to respond to all enquiries as soon as possible.

Sessions are $180 for a 50-minute appointment.

While counselling services are not currently covered under Medicare, I can provide an itemised receipt which may be used to claim a rebate through private health insurance, depending on your level of cover and provider.

If affordability is a concern, session frequency can be discussed, including spacing sessions further apart where appropriate.

Clients often describe my approach as gentle, warm, patient, and understanding. I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental space where you or your child can feel heard and supported.

Counselling sessions move at your pace, with a focus on building trust, emotional safety, and meaningful progress over time.
