Providing Compassionate Counselling and Support
Seeking support for yourself or someone you care about? I’m here to offer a safe, compassionate space to help you move forward.
Creating a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected and accepted is at the heart of my work. Being chosen to walk alongside you is something I never take lightly, and I feel honoured to support you on your journey if you choose to work with me.
I specialise in helping individuals navigate the complexity associated with anxiety and depression, relationships and family issues as well as addiction and trauma, and complications with ADHD and Autism.
I offer flexible online and in-person counselling, making it easier to access the support you need in a way that feels comfortable for you. Online sessions allow you to receive professional support from the privacy of your own home, while face-to-face sessions are available from my Sheltered Garden Sitting area, at Mona Vale on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Whichever option you choose, our time together is focused on you, your needs and creating meaningful progress.
Helping make sense of life’s challenges, navigate difficulties, finding a way forward with greater understanding, strength, confidence and resilience.
Hi I'm April,
I am a registered Psychotherapist and Counsellor with PACFA. I hold a Bachelors degree in Social Science and Psychological Science, blending evidence-based behavioural insights with a deeply human and compassionate approach to therapy.
I bring a unique combination of clinical qualifications, professional experience, and culturally aware genuine life experience to our sessions. Together, these allow me to hold a beautiful, safe, and entirely non-judgmental space for you.
My personal healing journey with truma, anxiety, grief and depression has also given me a depth of perspective allowing me to offer you more. Besides a steady empathetic, non-judgemental and holistic perspective, I can provide you with strategies that I am confident work.
This diverse background enhances my efffictiveness, creating a space where you can relax,explore your concerns and develop greater self-awareness.
CLIENT REVIEW'S
“
April is that rare person who combines deep presence with genuine warmth and sharp, practical insight. She listens fully, asks questions that actually land, and creates a space where I felt safe enough to be honest without ever fearing judgement or a quick fix. She can handle and hold complexity without rushing to simplify it. I felt deeply understood and gently challenged towards my goals. If you are looking for a counsellor who brings both professional skill and kindness to every session, I cant recomment April highly enough.
DaNNY M. — Individual Counselling Client
“
My family had been going through a lot and as a mother I knew my two teenagers needed some help. I wanted someone I could trust, who was friendly, warm, relatable, respectful and clear. April is all of this, she conversed skilfully with both my teenagers individually navigating big emotions. She supported them through the difficult life transitions and changes they were going through.

“
As the main carer of my ageing mother in law, I grew concerned when she started to withdraw from our usual family gatherings. My mother in law instantly connected with April, as April was intuitive and focused in listening to what mattered most to my mother in law. April's patience and consistent warmth gave space for her to take her time in voicing her feelings.
