Counselling that Supports Midlife and Older Women with Navigating Life's Transitions and Breaking Through Ageist Stereotypes
Online Trauma-Informed Therapist from Boronia Melbourne
Member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA)
In my field most people accept without question the idea that women should be nice, caring people pleasers. I believe this way of living for women is a coping mechanism so that they feel liked and safe around others but in reality, they often live in guilt, shame and overwhelm.
There are other ways to live, to feel safe, develop self-compassion and boundaries - and that changes everything.
I help midlife and older women who feel stuck in self-doubt and overwhelm so they can feel confident navigating life’s transitions.
Going through any stage in life can be a lonely experience when you are not sure where you belong and constantly second guess yourself.
You are not broken but burnt out from surviving.
Through body-based work and reconnecting with your inner knowing, we uncover your strengths, challenge ageist beliefs, and make space for a new chapter filled with meaning and purpose.
You don’t have to carry the weight of any of the issues you are dealing with alone.
Reach out today for the support you deserve and let’s start increasing the ‘wants’ and decreasing the ‘shoulds’.
It is time to start living without apology.

Testimonials
“Susan is a wonderful counsellor! She was everything I needed when I took the steps to seek some help as I struggled with a toxic relationship.
She is kind, compassionate, caring and listens well. I always felt heard and understood but importantly, never judged. The tools and tactics Susan suggests are helpful and I found that they did work when I did my part as well.
Susan was very generous with me, and I couldn’t express my gratitude to her strongly enough for the help she gave me. With her help I was able to see new perspectives and overcome hurdles that would have been much harder and taken much longer had I done it alone.
Thank you, Susan.”

“Susan helped in more ways than I could ever imagine. I had issues of anger, disappointment, sadness, depression, and anxiety in my former workplace as a disability support worker.
The stress in that working environment was tough especially dealing with staff and upper management. Susan had a very non-judgemental approach and I felt really comfortable in revealing all and expressing myself to the fullest. I kept coming back after many sessions as I was gaining a lot out of them. We worked together in collaboration with my feelings of anger, anxiety, and depression.
I felt so much lighter rather than this dense heaviness and sickness in my throat and stomach of depression, anxiety, and anger.
I thank Susan so much for patience, grace, and unconditional acceptance. Thank you, Susan”
Heather
“Susan is a gifted EFT practitioner and counsellor. In fact, she is one of the best counsellors I have ever seen. When I did EFT with her, she was so present and easy to connect with. I felt seen and understood by her in sharing my most vulnerable, hidden self and she helped me shift a deep-seated psychological issue.
I recommended one of my best friends to see her who is also very grateful to Susan for her help.
Thankyou Susan for bringing my darkness to light.”
Ruth
“Susan is a great listener and made me feel very validated. She has given me very useful practical advice. After seeing Susan and learning more about my nervous system and using EFT in therapy, I have been less anxious and overwhelmed and have felt a light at the end of a tunnel. For the first time in ages, I feel like I can get on top of issues I felt stuck with.
Thank you, Susan.“
