Compassionate, integrative counselling for adult women.
Wherever you are, however you feel most comfortable.
Every woman is different, and so is every counselling journey. Pawsitive Directions offers a range of session formats so you can choose what feels most accessible, comfortable, and meaningful for where you are right now. Services are available to women aged 21 and over, in person around Merrifield and Narre Warren, and online across Victoria and Australia. Every new client starts with an online session.

Support from wherever you are
You can receive full counselling support from wherever you are across Victoria and Australia.
From home, your garden, a quiet corner of your workplace, wherever feels comfortable.
Online sessions are conducted via a secure video platform and offer the same depth of therapeutic work as in-person sessions.
• Available to clients anywhere in Victoria and Australia
• Secure, private video platform (Zoom)
• Sessions from the comfort of your own space
• Flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends
• Ideal if you have limited mobility, live rurally, or prefer home-based support
60 min $120 · 90 min $180 · 30 min $75 for current and returning clients

A calm space, away from the clinic
Not every woman wants to do this work in her own home, and not every woman feels at ease in a clinical office.
My home clinic sits in between providing a quiet, calm space in Mickleham (Merrifield), where my animals may join us if it feels right for you, and always only if it feels right for them.
• Mickleham (Merrifield) VIC 3064
• Animal assisted sessions available
• A relaxed, non-clinical setting
• A separate space from your everyday life

Counselling that comes to you
For clients within 20 minutes of Narre Warren or Merrifield, I offer in-home counselling sessions that come to you, in your own space, surrounded by what already feels safe.
There is something quietly powerful about doing this work in the place where you actually live your life with your animals nearby, your garden outside the window, your own cup of tea.
60 min $160 · 90 min $220 (each includes a $40 travel fee)

Therapy in motion, outdoors
For many women, sitting still in a room and talking about hard things is the most difficult version of therapy imaginable.
These sessions were made for you. Walk & Talk sessions take place outdoors in parks, along trails, or in natural spaces near you.
Movement and nature work together to help the nervous system settle, making it easier to access and process what's underneath.
60 min $160 · 90 min $220 (each includes a $40 travel fee)
Appropriate sessions may include time in nature environments, observing animals, or simply being present in the outdoor setting.
Research suggests that nature connection can reduce stress and anxiety, and help the nervous system to feel safe and regulated.
For many clients it becomes one of the most quietly powerful parts of their work.
