“Sonya is so kind and down to earth, it honestly just feels like talking to someone who really gets it. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and a bit more like myself. I’m really grateful I found her.”

Counsellor. Educator. Supporter.
Hi, I’m Sonya, a trauma-informed, ACA-registered counsellor here to support you with warmth, honesty, and care.
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or simply unsure where to turn — you’re not alone. Therapy can be a space to pause, unpack, and move toward the clarity or calm you’ve been missing.
I provide client-led counselling that’s grounded in both real-world experience and evidence-based care. I’m registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and trained in trauma-informed approaches to support adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, ADHD, and life transitions.
Before becoming a counsellor, I served as a police officer, which gave me first-hand insight into crisis, vulnerability, and human resilience. That experience now helps me create a calm, non-judgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen and supported.
I’ve worked with individuals facing suicidal thoughts, loss, abuse, neurodivergence, and emotional overwhelm. Alongside client work, I’ve also been invited to present to university students on managing mental health challenges — and to counselling students on ethical practice and professional documentation.
Whether you're navigating something heavy or just need a space to breathe — I’m here when you’re ready.
Curious about what this space feels like for others? You can read some kind words from past clients here.
