Getting Started
Thank you for considering therapy with me.
Before we book a session, I invite you to pause and read through the way I work so you can get a sense of whether Paper Daisy Therapy feels right for you.
I believe finding the right therapist matters.
Therapy is a vulnerable commitment, and the process works best when we’re both clear on what’s being offered and what’s being asked in return.
What I Offer
I offer trauma therapy. I hold space for individuals navigating complex trauma, grief, identity shifts, attachment wounds, nervous system dysregulation and mood issues such as anxiety, depression and anger.
I work with a small number of clients at a time, so that I can be fully present in the work. Because of this, I’m thoughtful about who I take on as and I value a mutual sense of fit, readiness and clarity about what therapy involves.
Structure & Commitment
Therapy is a little different from general counselling — rather than offering short-term support or advice, it’s about creating the conditions for lasting change, which often requires regular contact.
If, after our first session we agree that Paper Daisy is a good fit for you, I offer therapy in 6-session blocks, with sessions occurring at least fortnightly initially to protect the depth and sustainability of the work.
Monthly appointments are only available to those have been in therapy for several sessions and is offered as a step-down transition out of therapy.
I don’t hold an ongoing space for clients I see less than once a month.
Therapy is most effective when we have a shared sense of focus. You don’t need to have all the answers but a general direction or area you’d like to explore is important. If you’re unsure, I can help you clarify this in the early sessions.
Who I Work Best With
You might be a good fit for this space if you:
Are ready for ongoing therapy and reflection
Want to explore the deeper layers of your story
Are open to integrating body-based awareness and nervous system support
Value honesty, gentleness, and emotional presence
Understand that healing takes time and doesn’t follow a straight line
Who This Space May Not Suit
This may not be the right fit if you’re:
Looking for one-off sessions or immediate crisis support
Wanting a highly structured, goal-focused, or performance-oriented approach
Unavailable for regular engagement
Seeking therapy for someone else’s concerns, rather than your own
Next Steps

Cancellation & Missed Appointment Policy
Life happens and sometimes, despite best intentions, appointments can be missed or need to be cancelled. I understand that. My aim is always to approach these situations with empathy, while also maintaining the integrity and sustainability of my practice.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows me the opportunity to offer the appointment to someone else who may be waiting for support.
Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or not attended, will incur the full session fee. Please note that if your sessions are being funded by a third part such as WorkCover, this cost would be your personal responsibility.
As a sole trader, I hold a limited number of spaces each week and often have clients in need of time-sensitive support. Late cancellations reduce my ability to offer care to others and affect the sustainability of this work. I deeply appreciate your care and consideration in honouring this policy.
