Online Addiction Counselling Australia | Build Healthier Patterns with LEXs

When life feels overwhelming, it’s understandable to turn to patterns or habits that bring comfort, escape, or relief - even when they begin to create new challenges.

At LEXs, I offer online addiction counselling across Australia for individuals who want to explore their relationship with substances, habits, or behaviours - and who are seeking new ways to care for themselves with strength, choice, and compassion.

Whether you're reflecting on:

• Substance use (alcohol, medications, other drugs)
• Behavioural patterns (gambling, gaming, technology, shopping)
• Emotional reliance on coping behaviours

Support is available - without judgment, labels, or pressure.

Through personalised online addiction counselling sessions, I work with you to:

• Understand the emotional needs underlying coping patterns
• Explore healthier, more sustainable strategies for self-care
• Strengthen emotional regulation, autonomy, and resilience
• Reconnect with your values, relationships, and future hopes
   

✅ I also warmly support NDIS participants (self-managed and plan-managed) where addiction counselling aligns with psychosocial recovery, emotional wellbeing, or daily living goals.

At LEXs, you are not seen through the lens of "addiction" - you are seen as a whole person, capable of growth, healing, and building a life that feels meaningful and free.

Starting online addiction counselling can feel like a big step - but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

Here’s what to expect when you work with me at LEXs:

Complete a simple enquiry form or contact me directly.
I'll provide clear, supportive information about availability, session structure, and how we can tailor our work to your goals - whether that's exploring habits, strengthening coping skills, or building new patterns.

If you're an NDIS participant (self-managed or plan-managed), I can also assist with invoicing and documentation to make the process smooth and stress-free.

Once you're ready, we'll schedule your first session at a time that suits you - creating a flexible, supportive starting point based on your comfort and needs.

You'll receive a confidential video link for your sessions, accessible from any private, comfortable space.

If you need support with technology setup or accommodations for accessibility, I’m here to help.

Sessions are fully client-led - focused on safety, emotional regulation, and exploring meaningful change - whether you're attending privately or through NDIS support.

Growth is not linear - and change doesn't have to look any particular way.

Together, we’ll adapt your online addiction counselling sessions based on your evolving insights, experiences, and hopes.

I draw from flexible, evidence-informed approaches including:

• Strengths-Based Counselling
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Emotional Regulation and Coping Skills Development
• Narrative Exploration (rewriting personal stories about identity and resilience)
• Somatic Awareness and Mindful Grounding Techniques
   

✅ NDIS participants can flexibly use their Capacity Building funding to access emotional wellbeing, daily living, and self-management support through counselling.

Online addiction counselling at LEXs offers a safe, supportive space to explore challenges around habits, coping patterns, and emotional wellbeing - without judgment, pressure, or rigid definitions.

Counselling can support you if you are navigating:

• Feeling caught in cycles of behaviour that no longer align with your values
• Seeking comfort or escape through substances (alcohol, prescription medications, other drugs)
• Using gambling, gaming, shopping, or technology in ways that feel hard to manage
• Emotional reliance on external habits to manage stress, anxiety, loneliness, or disconnection
• Experiences of shame, isolation, or self-criticism related to coping behaviours
• Desire to build healthier, more sustainable ways to care for your needs
• Rebuilding trust in yourself, your decisions, and your future
   

Whether you're seeking private support or accessing NDIS addiction counselling aligned with your personal goals, sessions at LEXs are shaped around your pace, hopes, and definition of change.

✅ Sessions can also be tailored to align with your NDIS plan - supporting emotional wellbeing, daily living skills, and personal empowerment through flexible online counselling.

 Choosing online addiction counselling with LEXs offers important advantages for individuals who are exploring change with compassion, autonomy, and emotional safety.

Sessions are paced around your needs and readiness, honouring your journey without judgment or labels.

No matter where you are, support is available flexibly to meet you where you're at.

Sessions are designed to be flexible - adjusting to the realities of daily life, changing energy levels, or different stages of your personal exploration.
Whether you're seeking private support or accessing NDIS addiction counselling, counselling is always tailored to your evolving goals.

I work from a foundation of respect, emotional safety, and belief in your capacity for growth.

• Individual online addiction counselling sessions: $150 for a 60-minute session.
   

I warmly support NDIS participants where counselling aligns with goals around emotional wellbeing, psychosocial recovery, daily living skills, or self-management.

Yes.
Online addiction counselling offers many of the same benefits as in-person counselling - providing a safe, confidential space to explore coping patterns, build emotional skills, and create change.
It can also be more accessible, flexible, and comfortable for many individuals, particularly during periods of reflection or emotional vulnerability.

That's completely okay.
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting counselling.
Our work together can be exploratory - helping you better understand your patterns, emotions, and possibilities - at your own pace, without pressure or rigid expectations.

Yes.
If emotional wellbeing, daily living skills, or psychosocial support are goals in your NDIS plan, you may be able to access NDIS addiction counselling at LEXs.
I warmly support both self-managed and plan-managed participants and can assist with documentation if needed.

Online counselling can support you with a wide range of coping behaviours, including:

• Substance use (alcohol, medications, other drugs)
• Gambling, gaming, technology, shopping
• Emotional reliance on behaviours to manage stress, disconnection, or overwhelming emotions
   

There is no need for a formal diagnosis - we simply start wherever you are.

No.
Counselling is not about imposing rules or ultimatums.
It’s about creating space for you to reflect, explore, and choose what changes (if any) feel meaningful and achievable for you.

You are always in charge of your goals and the direction we take together.

Change doesn't begin with perfection - it begins with curiosity, courage, and care for yourself.

At LEXs, I offer compassionate, flexible online addiction counselling to support you in exploring your relationship with coping patterns, reconnecting with your strengths, and building a life that feels more aligned with your values.
