Online Counselling


Counselling + Personal Training

Combined counselling + coaching session
Online · 70 min · $145

Mind and body, in the same space — without splitting them across two separate services.
Most of the session is spent in the counselling space — working through what's actually happening: the stress, the patterns, the emotional load. The second part shifts into coaching: reviewing or building your training program, working on mindset around movement, and making sure the plan fits your life.
The two parts inform each other. What comes up in the conversation shapes the approach to training. What's happening in your body often reflects what needs attention in the conversation.

Part one - Counselling ~ 40–50 min
Part two - Programming + coaching ~ 20–30 min

This suits you if

  • You're working through stress, low mood, or burnout and want movement built into your recovery — not bolted on afterwards

  • You have real fitness goals and want the psychological layer factored in from the start

  • You want someone who can hold both — not hand you off between a counsellor and a trainer

  • You're tired of plans that don't account for how you're actually feeling

A supported space to slow things down, improve communication, and understand the patterns shaping your relationship.

50 minutes · A$150

Sessions are collaborative and paced so both people feel heard, understood, and respected. This isn't about blame or taking sides — it's about strengthening connection, clarifying needs, and finding more workable ways of relating.

Couples counselling works well for:

  • Communication difficulties or recurring conflict

  • Feeling disconnected, stuck, or misunderstood

  • Navigating major life transitions together

  • Rebuilding trust and emotional connection

Couples & Relationship Counselling

Practical, relational support to help you navigate daily life, build skills, and move toward greater independence and wellbeing.

Supports may include:

  • Assistance with daily routines and organisation

  • Support with appointments, planning, or goal follow-through

  • Building confidence and independence in community settings

  • Social support and connection

Daily Supports & Community Access

Modalities Used

Joshua works integratively, drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches. Rather than applying a single model, therapy is tailored to what best supports you.

Foundational & Relational Approaches

(How safety, trust, and collaboration are established)

Person-Centred Therapy (PCT)
A relational approach grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect, supporting your natural capacity for growth and self-direction.

Trauma-Informed Integrative Therapy
A flexible framework that prioritises safety, choice, and collaboration, allowing therapy to respond to the whole
person rather than a single model.

Skills, Regulation & Coping

(Tools to stabilise, regulate, and get through day-to-day challenges)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Supports understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and developing more helpful ways of responding to challenges.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT-Informed)
Focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating relationships more effectively.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Encourages present-moment awareness and non-judgement, often incorporating breath work to support emotional regulation and clarity.

Insight, Meaning & Identity

(Making sense of experience once steadier footing is in place)

Narrative Therapy
Supports understanding how personal stories shape identity and experience, and offers space to re-author those stories in more empowering and aligned ways.

Existential / Meaning-Based Work
Explores questions of meaning, identity, choice, and responsibility, particularly during periods of transition or uncertainty.

Timeline Therapy
Involves exploring past experiences to help release unhelpful emotional responses or limiting beliefs that may be influencing the present.

Change, Direction & Action

(Supporting movement toward goals and values)

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
A collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps strengthen motivation and confidence for change, particularly when feeling stuck or ambivalent.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
A future-focused, strengths-based approach that supports practical goal-setting and momentum toward change.

  • Counselling with a non-psychologist is not currently Medicare-rebatable. Some private health funds offer rebates for counselling — check your extras cover. Many clients find the cost comparable to or less than other regular health expenses.

  • That's okay — you're never locked in. The free consultation exists so you can get a feel before committing to anything. If after a session or two it doesn't feel right, we'll talk about that honestly.

  • You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from support. Most people who come to counselling aren't — they're just carrying something they're tired of carrying alone.
