Questions & answers

When you start, you set a specific relationship goal and propose an amount you'd pay if we achieve it together. This could be anything from improved communication with your partner to resolving a specific conflict. The bounty is whatever feels right to you — there's no minimum or maximum. This aligns our incentives: I only succeed when you do.

That's exactly why I use this model. Great relationships shouldn't be a luxury. If money is tight, propose what you can genuinely afford. I'd rather help someone for a modest amount than have financial barriers prevent people from getting support they need.

We define success together at the start. Your goal should be specific and measurable — something you'll clearly know when you've achieved. If it's ambiguous, we'll refine it until you have a clear target. And ultimately, you decide whether we've reached it.

When you refer someone who achieves their desired results, you receive 10% of their bounty as a thank-you. It's my way of rewarding you for spreading the word.

Payment happens after you've achieved your relationship goal and you're satisfied with the results. There's no upfront cost, no session fees, no hidden charges. If we don't reach your goal, you don't pay — or you pay only what you feel the experience was worth.

I understand the skepticism — it's an unusual model. But think about it this way: if I don't help you, I don't get paid. This means I only take on clients I'm confident I can help, and I'm motivated to provide real value rather than extend sessions unnecessarily. It's not charity; it's alignment of incentives.

I hold a Diploma of Counselling with specialisation in relational therapy. I'm trained in person-centred approaches inspired by Carl Rogers, attachment theory, and systems thinking. I maintain ongoing professional development and supervision. You can read more about my background on the About page.

I work with couples (married, de facto, dating), families (parent-child, siblings, extended family), and individuals who want to improve their relationship patterns. I work with people of all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ relationships.

I practice person-centred relational therapy, influenced by Carl Rogers' humanistic approach. I believe people have innate capacity for growth when given the right conditions: genuine empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authentic connection. I focus on practical outcomes, not just talk.

Both! While I primarily help you discover your own insights through guided exploration, I'm not afraid to offer observations, challenges, or suggestions when appropriate. My goal is your growth, not passive listening.

No. I'm a therapist, not a psychiatrist or doctor. If medication seems relevant to your situation, I'll recommend you consult with your GP or a psychiatrist.

Yes. What we discuss remains between us with very limited exceptions required by law (such as if there's risk of harm to yourself or others, or suspected child abuse). I'll explain these limits clearly before we begin.

I use secure, encrypted systems for scheduling and basic records. Session notes are minimal and stored securely. I never share your information with third parties without explicit consent.

Absolutely. All testimonials are shared only with explicit permission, and you can choose to remain completely anonymous or use a pseudonym.
