Welcome to CounsellingCo
Counselling and psychotherapy on Sydney’s northern beaches
Everybody has a story. Everyone has challenges. And life doesn’t always unfold as we planned.
CounsellingCo was founded to provide private and confidential therapeutic services to high-functioning people seeking help for addiction and mental health challenges, corporate stress and burnout, and relationship issues.
If you’re not ready for rehab and you don’t need a psychiatric diagnosis, CounsellingCo is your first-base
talk therapy option to unpack problems in your life before they spiral out of control.
I use a variety of trauma-informed, evidence-based modalities and the latest neuroscientific theories
to guide you through difficult times, help you to reconnect with your authentic self,
and to regain your internal strength to move forward in a positive way.
I have a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am fully registered with the
Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA),
although my life experience is one of my key qualifications.
Every client is unique, and my promise to you is to work alongside you, to honour your goals
and to gently challenge you to find out more about yourself and what drives you.
Together, we will unpack your story, address your problems and
navigate a pathway toward renewed meaning and purpose.
Evening appointments available!

I understand it’s hard to find the time to prioritise yourself, which is why I offer sessions on Monday or Tuesday evenings
My commitment
Gently challenging
At CounsellingCo, you set your own goals, however, therapy may be challenging. I can help you to look beneath the surface to address your core issues. I can help you to identify what drives you, what is holding you back, what has shaped your life, and together, we work on addressing your needs and help you to move forward in a positive way.
CounsellingCo will help you to unlock your truth, and step into your personal power.
Support when you need it
There’s no need to wait until your problems reach crisis point. CounsellingCo is about supporting you proactively. I can work with you to re-balance your life before it spirals in the wrong direction.
Whether your issues are mildly frustrating, showing up repeatedly, or causing extreme distress, i can help you to see things more clearly, develop a plan for managing your situation and change unhealthy behaviours for long-term results.
Engaging, personalised therapy for lasting change
-
Confidential
CounsellingCo is the ideal solution for people and professionals who want to keep their private life private. Unless there is a need for psychiatric referral, counselling and psychotherapy services are not entered into medical or insurance records.
You can move forward in life with a clean slate.
-
Collaboration
CounsellingCo is "person-centred", which means you are in control and active in driving the direction of your treatment. It is a collaborative process where the counsellor and client cooperate to investigate your situation. We allow you to tell your story or unpack your issues as you see fit.
We are ethically bound to ensure that you are empowered to make your own decisions.
-
Connection
When we are in tune with a trusted therapist, it signals to our nervous system that we are safe. When we’re safe, we can see things clearly, problem solve and use our creativity.
It’s the connection in the professional counselling relationship that helps us to clear blocks and move forward. By reconnecting with ourselves, we can reconnect with others.
CounsellingCo is accredited by the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA)

CounsellingCo provides a fully accredited, ethical and professional service drawing on the latest evidence-based models and modalities.
Help With
CounsellingCo is about helping you navigate your own situation, whether things are just starting to become difficult,
or whether you have a fully diagnosed mental health condition like borderline personality disorder (BPD) or Bi Polar disorder.
I understand the social stigma that can often hold us back from seeking help. Nobody planned on drinking too much, or gambling away savings, or working until you couldn’t recognise yourself anymore. Nobody wanted a messy divorce. However, these things happen and they can be much easier to navigate with a non-judgemental, professional support.
For example, if you find yourself in a coercive or controlling relationship, or you have experience domestic abuse, or you have been issued with an AVO,
whether you are female or male, or LGBTQI+ I am here to support you.

What Clients are saying…
“This was a really positive experience, I felt validated and heard, while still being called out (nicely) when I was being unkind to myself and over intellectualising my feelings- which I need. Thank you”

— FEMALE CLIENT
“ She (Tamara) connected with me and provided a safe space that helped me to feel comfortable to identify and express my feelings – some of which I didn’t realise were underlying the issues at hand… I didn’t know how much I needed that unload! Felt such a release afterwards.. am so grateful. Thank you Tamara”.
