Hunter Valley Walk and Talk Therapy

12/04/2026

Finding the right therapist can sometimes feel a bit like an expensive version of speed dating. And with an economic climate that's feeling extra pinchy right now, it's understandable that our mental health care might fall by the wayside, while we focus on other priorities.

So I am offering all first sessions (for individuals) booked during April for $100.

Morpeth Common or Online.

Regular fees for 70 Min sessions are:
$160 Morpeth/online
$180 Newcastle
$125 low income (Morpeth or Online)
$200 couples (Maitland or Newcastle 90 mins)
$155 self/plan managed NDIS (Maitland or online - msg to book)

More often than we realise, there is a younger part of us stepping up to try and steer the ship. The trouble is, those strategies developed as a young child, which served their purpose as best they could then, are not always particularly helpful, or empowering, now.

Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give ourselves, is what we may not have experienced all that often as children, and that is just to stop and listen to what that little inner voice wants us to know.

Pause and find out what the need is underneath the pain, the avoidance, the over explaining, the people pleasing, the dying-to-self.

That's how we ideally parent our own children, and it's how we begin to 're-parent' ourselves.

And if you want some support figuring this out... I'm here, ready to join you for this part of your journey.

You'll go home a little more patient.
Less reactive.

You'll notice when stress is building and have some tools to help deal with it.

Your confidence will have improved a notch or two.

And perhaps most importantly, you'll remember you’re not the only one carrying what you carry.

-You don’t need any prior experience with mindfulness. I guide you every step of the way. And this isn’t about “emptying the mind” or trying not to think - it’s about gently noticing what else is happening alongside your thoughts.

-You don’t need to be “good at sharing.”

-You don’t need to know anyone attending.

-You don’t need special clothes.

-You don’t have to be all “zen", I’m certainly not. Just come as you are.

-You’re always free to participate at your own pace, and you’ll never be pushed beyond what feels right for you.

There's a factor we often overlook when we encourage people to 'just tell them how you feel'.

There's a problem with vulnerability, and it's not vulnerability.

I wrote about it here:
