The Active Counsellor is a modern counselling approach that integrates movement with traditional talk therapy. Sessions may include walking, light exercise, breath work, or seated conversation designed to support mental health, emotional regulation, performance, and overall wellbeing.

This service is for individuals who:

• Feel stuck with traditional sit-down therapy

• Value movement as part of their wellbeing

• Want support with mental health, stress, identity, performance, or life transitions

• Are ready to take an active role in their personal growth and recovery

No fitness background is required.

Not at all. Movement is always tailored to your ability, energy levels, and health considerations. Sessions can be as gentle as walking, stretching, breath-focused or fully seated if that’s what feels right for you.

Each session is guided by your goals and how you’re feeling that day. We may:

• Walk and talk outdoors

• Incorporate light, intentional movement

• Pause for reflection, grounding, or breathwork

• Sit and talk if movement isn’t appropriate

There’s no pressure, as flexibility and safety come first.

I work with children, teenagers, adults, high performers, athletes, and individuals living with chronic illness. The Active Counsellor supports individuals seeking help with mental health, performance, recovery, stress, confidence, identity, and life transitions.

How do you work with children?

I hold a current Queensland (QLD) Blue Card and have experience supporting children in a range of settings. My approach is flexible and tailored to each child’s individual needs, interests, and comfort level.

Movement is always optional. If the child enjoys being active, we might go for a walk or play sports such as basketball, soccer, or rugby. If they prefer something more relaxed, we can engage in activities like chess, creative play, or conversation-based sessions.

Every session is designed around the child’s preferences, helping them feel comfortable, supported, and engaged.

That’s completely okay. Sessions can be adjusted in real time or switched to a seated or online format if needed. Your health always comes first.

The Active Counsellor is still evidence-based counselling. The difference is the integration of movement for those who find it helpful. If you prefer traditional sit-down counselling, talk-only sessions are also available.

Clients often work through:

• Stress, anxiety, and burnout

• Identity shifts (injury, illness, career change)

• Mental health alongside physical health challenges

• Performance, motivation, and confidence

• Life transitions and personal growth

If you’re unsure whether this is the right fit, a free consultation can help clarify.

Sessions can take place:

• Outdoors (e.g. walking sessions)

• Indoors

• Online

You choose the environment that feels safest and most supportive for you.

Cancellations or rescheduling require at least 24 hours’ notice. Late cancellations or missed sessions may be charged in full.

You can book a free 20-minute consultation via the website. From there, we’ll decide on the most appropriate support option together.

Session pricing varies based on the service selected—Movement & Talk, Talk-Only, or Online as well as travel time depending on your location.

Full pricing details are available on the website. We’ll also review options during your complimentary 20-minute consultation to ensure the service aligns with your needs, preferences, and goals.

The Active Counsellor is a premium service because it offers more than traditional counselling. By integrating movement and meeting in a safe, client-chosen environment, it creates a uniquely supportive and empowering experience.

This highly personalised, flexible, and integrative approach is designed around you — not just your symptoms.

What You Receive

• Qualified, professional counselling grounded in evidence-based practice

• Movement-based therapy tailored to your body, energy levels, health, and capacity on the day

• Client-led settings chosen to support safety and comfort — whether that’s your favourite park, a familiar café, a quiet walking track, or your own home

• Flexible session formats, including outdoor movement, seated sessions, or online support

• A whole-person approach integrating mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing

• A focus on sustainable, long-term change, not quick fixes or surface-level strategies

This service is intentionally designed for individuals seeking deeper engagement, greater accountability, and meaningful progress — not a one-size-fits-all model. Every element, from the environment to the pace of the work, is tailored to support regulation, trust, and lasting change.

It’s support that adapts to your life, your nervous system, and your goals.

Coverage depends on your health fund and policy. It is recommended you check directly with your provider to confirm eligibility. Services are not Medicare-rebatable. This allows for longer sessions, flexible delivery, and a more individualised approach without the limitations of standardised funding models.

Yes. Packages are available for those looking for consistent support and better value over time. Payment plans may also be available — these can be discussed during your free consultation.
