Hi, I’m Larissa, professional counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with adults across Australia through online appointments via our secure platform (no downloads, no Zoom).

Holding more than 20 years experience, my focus is trauma and mental health: the way high-impact experiences reshape the mind, the body, and day-to-day functioning. I work with those who are living with the aftermath of trauma. This may include workplace, relationship, childhood, or control-related trauma, serious life events, and the complex fallout of crime.

With a background in emergency first response and risk management, I’m experienced with major incident debriefing and therapeutic support in high-stakes, high-pressure contexts—where what clients need is clarity, containment, and a plan they can actually follow to get their lives back.

Furthermore, I work 1-on-1 with partners and loved ones, particularly where trauma has come through coercive control, narcissistic abuse, and other forms of relational abuse—so you’re not left managing the damage alone.

I see clients from the full range of mental health presentations that benefit from structured, trauma-aware therapy—especially anxiety and panic, as well as clients experiencing more complex mental health challenges.

I do not believe in marking clients with a label. Rather, I want to know what your values and beliefs are, no matter how wonderful or strange the world may label them to be. What’s important to you is also important in your healing journey.

I take the process seriously: meaningful change typically requires at least 6–10 sessions before you can fairly evaluate fit and progress. That’s not a delay—it’s how serious work is done.
