Mums, this one is for you.

So often, you are the one holding everything together. The appointments, the emotions, the family needs, the worry, the planning, the caring, the “I’m fine” when you are absolutely not fine.

But you do not have to do it all on your own.

At Patient Approach in Cleveland, I offer counselling support for adults, teens and children.

You might reach out if you or someone in your family is navigating stress, anxiety, overwhelm, grief, burnout, health challenges, cancer, chronic illness, big emotions, family changes or just a really hard season.

There is currently no wait list, and appointments are available now.

Gentle, compassionate support is available for you and your family.

For the healers, helpers and practitioners.

For the massage therapists, counsellors, hypnotherapists, yoga teachers, Pilates instructors, nurses, doctors, allied health professionals, support workers, coaches and carers.

You spend so much of your life holding space for other people.

Listening.
Supporting.
Guiding.
Encouraging.
Noticing what others need.

And sometimes, when your work is to support others, it can feel like you should be able to sort everything out for yourself.

But you are human too.

You do not need to have all the answers just because you are often the person others turn to.

You need your own support team.

You need people who can hold space for you, offer care, bring expertise, and give you somewhere safe to be honest about how you are really going.

I understand how important privacy and confidentiality are, especially when you are known in your community or work in a caring profession.

Counselling and coaching can give you a quiet, confidential space to vent, unpack, reflect, reset and be supported without needing to perform, explain or hold it all together.

It might be a once-in-a-while session to unload, recalibrate and breathe out.

Or it might be more regular support, giving you the nurturing and steadiness you need to keep showing up fully for yourself and for others.

You give so much to others.
You are allowed to receive support too.

Book a session if you are ready for a space where you can be cared for, heard and supported.

Finding the right therapist matters.

Counselling is deeply personal, and it is important to work with someone who helps you feel safe, seen, heard, valued and cared for.

It is okay to want to get a sense of someone before you book in.

That is why I offer a brief, no-cost chat before your first appointment.

We can talk by phone or video call, you can ask any questions you may have, and we can get a feel for whether working together feels like the right fit.

There is no pressure and no obligation to book.

Just a simple, supportive first step if you are considering counselling and would like to know more.

I’m really proud to be offering counselling as part of The Patient Approach Cancer and Wellness Centre in Cleveland.

This centre is all about whole-person care, because cancer and chronic health conditions affect so much more than the medical side of life.

They can affect your mood, sleep, relationships, parenting, school, work, identity, confidence, energy and sense of control.

At The Patient Approach, I offer gentle, grounded counselling for children, teens, young adults, adults and families.

You might come to see me if you or someone you love is navigating:

• cancer or another significant diagnosis
• treatment, recovery or survivorship
• chronic illness or complex health challenges
• grief, fear, uncertainty or overwhelm
• burnout, compassion fatigue or carer stress
• changes in family roles or relationships
• a child or teen struggling with big feelings
• a young adult trying to cope with health, study, work or life pressure

One of the things I bring is a health-literate counselling approach.

Alongside my counselling work, I am also a Senior Lecturer in medical education and public health, teaching medical students and working across health, evidence, systems and care. I also bring my own lived experience of complex health challenges and cancer.

So when you sit with me, you do not have to explain the whole health world from scratch.

I understand that illness can change everything, and that people need support that is compassionate, practical and deeply human.

Appointments are available with me at The Patient Approach in Cleveland.

So proud to be part of the team The Patient Approach! Katie and Steph have worked incredibly hard to create an amazing space.

After battling cancer while having babies and raising young families, two bayside mums have launched a one-stop medical centre designed to keep patients closer to home.
