Sometimes life just feels like a lot
You don’t need the right words before you reach out.
Maybe you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck, constantly trying to keep up, or wondering why things that seem easy for everyone else feel so exhausting.
Maybe you’ve spent years adapting, masking or trying to meet everyone else’s expectations. Or perhaps you’re a young person trying to work out who you are and where you fit.
You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what needs to change. I’m here to work alongside you — without judgement, without pressure and without expecting you to fit into a particular mould.
Who I work alongside
Support shaped around the person, not the label.
Neurodivergent adults
For adults who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck or exhausted from trying to keep everything together.
Late-identified adults
For people beginning to understand themselves differently after discovering ADHD, autism or other aspects of neurodivergence later in life.
People still figuring it out
You don’t need a diagnosis or a neatly packaged reason for coming to counselling. Sometimes you just know something isn’t working anymore. That’s enough.
Maybe some of this sounds familiar
Life can feel exhausting when you’re constantly trying to keep up.
Your brain feels like it has 47 tabs open.
You’re exhausted from trying to keep up.
You know what you should be doing but can’t seem to get yourself there.
Relationships can feel complicated or exhausting.
You spend a lot of energy trying to appear like you’ve got everything together.
You’re experiencing burnout, questioning who you are, or wondering why you’ve always felt different.
Neurodiversity-affirming support
Neurodivergence isn’t something that needs to be fixed.
My role isn’t to teach you how to fit more comfortably into expectations that may never have suited you in the first place.
Counselling can instead be a place to understand yourself, your experiences and the ways you navigate the world. I work with neurodivergent young people and adults, including people with ADHD and autism, as well as people who are exploring whether neurodivergence might help explain some of their experiences.
You don’t need a diagnosis to talk to me.
About Bec
Hi, I’m Bec.
I’m a counsellor who believes you don’t need to have everything sorted before you ask for help.
I’ve spent many years working alongside adolescents, young people and families, and I’ve seen how exhausting it can be when people feel like they’re constantly trying to keep up with expectations that don’t always make sense to them.
My experience working with neurodivergent young people has shaped the way I work. I’m interested in the person behind the label — what life actually feels like for you, what’s getting in the way and what might help.
I’m warm, practical and down-to-earth. I won’t pretend to have all the answers, and I don’t believe counselling should feel like you’re being talked at by someone who has their life perfectly together.
Sometimes having someone alongside you is enough to make the next step feel possible.

How I work
Warm, collaborative and at your pace.
Person-centred
You’re met with empathy, respect and acceptance. Sessions are guided by what feels most important to you.
Strengths-based
We notice what already works and build from there rather than treating you as a list of problems to solve.
Trauma-informed
Safety, trust, choice and connection sit at the heart of the work. You don’t have to revisit anything before you’re ready.
You don’t need to…
Turn up with a perfect explanation.
Have a diagnosis.
You can talk about what’s happening without having everything labelled.
Know what to say.
You don’t need to prepare the perfect explanation of why you’re here.
Be in crisis.
Counselling isn’t only for when things have completely fallen apart.
Know what you want.
Sometimes figuring that out is part of the work.
Fees & NDIS
Clear and simple from the start.
Online counselling sessions are $120 per session. Alongside Bec Counselling can work with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants.
A free 15-minute meet-and-greet is available if you’d like a quick chat before deciding whether counselling feels like the right fit.
A little bit of Bec
And yes — there are furry co-therapists in the background.
They’re not part of your counselling session, but they’re very much part of Bec’s world.

Let’s talk
Maybe it’s time to stop doing it all on your own.
You don’t have to know exactly where to start. You don’t have to have the right words. Let’s start with what’s happening now.
