Counselling in Mount Gambier for Children, Adolescents & Families

Limestone Coast Counselling provides professional, evidence-informed counselling in Mount Gambier and across the Limestone Coast region.

I support children, adolescents, NDIS participants, adults and families navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, school or performance pressure, family changes, and life transitions. Therapy offers a calm, confidential space to understand what’s happening, reduce distress, and build practical skills for everyday life.

Currently accepting new clients in Mount Gambier – no waitlist.
You can book online or arrange a free 15-minute phone call to see if counselling feels right for you or your child. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You might be looking for support if:

• Your child is struggling with anxiety or big emotions

• School pressure or friendships are becoming overwhelming

• Your family is going through separation or big changes

• You’re feeling stressed, stuck, or emotionally drained

Support for Children & Teens

I work with:

• Children experiencing anxiety, worries, or big emotions

• Teenagers struggling with confidence, self-criticism, or school pressure

• Neurodivergent children, including autism

• Families adjusting to separation or relationship changes

Sessions are tailored to each child’s needs, pace, and strengths, with parent collaboration where helpful. If you are looking for child counselling in Mount Gambier or adolescent support in the Limestone Coast, you are welcome to get in touch. I am also running a limited group session for 8-10 year olds. The details of the next one are below, and bookable from the booking page:

What to expect in your first session

Your first session is simply a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what has been going on for you.

There is no pressure to share anything you are not comfortable with, and we will move at a pace that feels safe for you.

Many people feel nervous before their first counselling session — this is completely normal.

Therapy Dog Support – Dobby 🐾

For children who may benefit from additional comfort, sessions can be supported by Dobby, my gentle toy cavoodle therapy dog.

Many children find it easier to relax and open up when an animal is present. Dobby helps reduce anxiety, support emotional regulation, and make sessions feel more approachable. Interaction is always optional and guided by the child’s comfort.

NDIS Participants

Limestone Coast Counselling accepts NDIS participants under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living. Sessions can support emotional wellbeing, anxiety, emotional regulation and life challenges. Please contact me if you would like to discuss NDIS referrals or support options.

Fees & Accessibility

Counselling sessions (50–60 minutes): $140

Limestone Coast Counselling is a private practice. While Medicare rebates are not currently available, session fees are intentionally set close to the typical out-of-pocket gap many families pay under a Mental Health Care Plan.

NDIS clients (self-managed and plan-managed) are welcome.

A limited number of reduced-fee appointments are available upon request.
