Hi, I'm Roberta — a Licensed Clinical Counsellor in Australia, with over three years of professional experience. I specialise in supporting individuals facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My areas of focus include:

- Trauma, PTSD, and abuse recovery

- Self-harm and emotional regulation

- Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia

- Anger issues and oppositional behaviours (ODD)

- Sleep difficulties and chronic pain

- Depression, anxiety, and stress

- Addiction and recovery support

- Family and relationship conflicts

I believe therapy should be a safe, respectful, and compassionate space. My approach is client-centered and collaborative — I’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that’s tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, but it’s also a powerful step toward healing and growth. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
