At Progressive Therapeutic Counselling (PTC), I understand that family and domestic violence (FDV) is a pervasive issue that can affect individuals in all types of relationships and across all genders.
However, I also recognise that FDV, often referred to as intimate partner terrorism or family annihilation, is predominantly a gendered crime.
The overwhelming body of evidence and statistics show that men are the primary perpetrators, with women being the most common victims and survivors.
I am committed to acknowledging these realities and providing compassionate, evidence-based support to all survivors of FDV.
Your safety matters.
If you have any concerns regarding your safety - whether it be emotional, physical, financial, religious, psychological or sexual, please email us and let me know.
Please don’t minimise any concerns you may have. Safety is complicated and I understand that.
To contact, email at admin@progressivetherapeutic.com.au.
When emailing, please let me know the safest way we can communicate with you and on what times/days (if you know).
I will work with you, to explore how I can work with you as safely as possible.
A note about fees
From 1 November 2026, my fees are changing for the first time since 2023:
Individual therapy (standard): $155 → $165
Individual therapy (financial discount): $115 → $120
Relationship therapy: $230 → $250
Clinical supervision: $190 → $200
Even at the new rates, my fees sit well below the AASW's suggested benchmark for private practice.
That's a choice. Keeping therapy as accessible as I reasonably can matters to me, and it isn't changing.
