Online bullying comes in all shapes and forms, and keyboard warriors will target anyone celebrities, sports personalities, even school kids. No one seems to be protected. As a huge F1 fan, it’s heartbreaking to see Kimi Antonelli Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team facing so much online hate that he felt the need to turn his profile picture black just to make a statement.
He’s a 19-year-old rookie, in his first F1 season, simply out there racing. He does not deserve this. And the fact that the FIA hasn’t issued a statement condemning the abuse is disappointing.
It’s more important than ever to speak up and speak out. This behaviour is not okay toward anyone. We need to teach our children that being a bully is never acceptable and neither is staying silent when someone is being bullied.

🌼 World Prematurity Day 🌼
Today is a day close to my heart. My own little one entered the world at just 33 weeks and spent the beginning of his journey in the NICU. Those early days were filled with uncertainty, hope, and a strength I never knew we had. Watching him fight, grow, and overcome each challenge changed me as a parent, and as a counsellor.
World Prematurity Day is dedicated to raising awareness about the 1 in 10 babies born too soon each year. It honours the tiny fighters, the families walking the emotional rollercoaster of premature birth, and the incredible medical teams who support them. It’s also a day to acknowledge the lasting impact NICU experiences can have on parents emotionally, mentally, and physically.
To all the families who have navigated or are currently navigating the NICU journey: your strength is seen, your emotions are valid, and you are not alone. 💜
If this day brings up memories, feelings, or if you need someone to talk to, please reach out.

🚨 New Cyber-Safety Laws Coming to Australia – 10 December 🇦🇺
From 10 December, new laws will require major social media platforms to block accounts from children under 16 unless they can prove their age. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and more will need to take real steps to stop under-age sign-ups — or face major fines.
These laws aim to give kids a safer online experience and hold tech companies responsible for protecting young users.
Parents: now’s a good time to chat with your kids about online safety and review the accounts they use.

At Safe Counselling Australia, we see every day the deep impact bullying has on young people — the anxiety, the isolation, the loss of confidence. Bullying in schools is at an all time high, and it’s leaving children and families feel unsafe.
This new national anti-bullying strategy is a much-needed step toward healing our school communities. Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported — not scared to go to school.
Australian schools will need to initiate action against a bullying complaint within two days of a reported incident as part of a new national plan to tackle bullying.

🌟 In recent years, there’s been a noticeable rise in autism diagnoses — and one of the reasons is growing awareness of a lesser-known subtype: Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). PDA can look very different from what many expect when they think of autism, which is why it’s often misunderstood and not recognised enough.
In children, PDA may show up as extreme resistance to everyday demands, intense anxiety, difficulty with transitions, and even using humour, distraction, or avoidance to stay in control.
There is still a long way to go but at least there is talk and hopefully lead to a better support system for children who need it.
A surge of professional and personal interest in Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), an autism subtype — which in children can affect everything from cleaning teeth to attending school — has led to Australia's first-ever PDA conference, to be held in Perth in November.

Today is R U OK? Day. While I think it’s good to have a reminder I think it’s important to always be checking in with family, friends and colleagues to make sure they R OK. But the most important thing is if you’re going to ask- make sure you stick around to listen to the answer!

I have a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy with 10 years clinical experience working with Couples, families, adolescents, children, individuals, Couple Mediation, Depression, Domestic Violence, Grief , Eating Disorders, Adult and Child anxiety, Trauma, School issues and bullying.
I have developed Protective Behaviours and Cyber Safety programs and have specialised experience working with Children and families impacted by child sexual abuse and Children displaying sexualised behaviours,.
I use a range of therapy techniques to help each client reach their full potential through their own journey. Including, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Family Therapy, Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) ,Systemic Therapy looking at Family dynamics, inter-generational Patterns and Family of Origin.
96% of child sexual abuse occurs from someone the child knows. Take away your child's vulnerability by educating them on how to protect themselves when you're not there.
I am passionate about providing parent's with skills to protect their children. Providing children with tools to use their voice to know how to protect themselves.
Protecting our children is very important but unfortunately as technology becomes "smarter" and more part of our everyday lives it becomes harder to provide our children with a safe environment - even in the safety of our own homes. We actively teach our children about "stranger danger" and looking both ways before we cross the road, but how many of you have taught your children about po*******hy? If a child can do a Google search, then they need to know what po*******hy is. Providing children with a plan and knowledge reduces the chance of guilt and shame if they view accidental po*******hy therefore giving them confidence to communicate with you about what they saw.
Sessions are available Face to Face, video and by phone.
