Online Trauma Counselling Australia | NDIS Trauma Counsellor You Can Trust

Trauma can leave invisible wounds that impact how we feel, think, and connect with others.
At LEXs, I offer online trauma counselling across Australia, providing a safe, confidential space where your story is heard and your healing journey is respected.

Whether you’ve experienced childhood trauma, abuse, violence, loss, or other life-altering events, you are not alone - and you do not have to face recovery without support.

Through personalised online sessions, I work with you to:

• Rebuild emotional safety and trust
• Process painful memories at your own pace
• Strengthen resilience and coping
• Reconnect with hope, meaning, and self-worth

I also proudly support NDIS participants (self-managed and plan-managed) who are seeking trauma-informed mental health care tailored to their needs.

With no waitlists, flexible scheduling, and trauma-informed care, LEXs is here to walk alongside you - wherever you are in Australia.

Starting trauma 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 information about availability, session structure, and how we can tailor support to your goals.

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.

You'll receive a confidential video link for your sessions, accessible from any private space.
If you need support with technology setup, I’m here to help.

Sessions are fully trauma-informed - focused on safety, choice, and collaboration - whether you're attending privately or through NDIS funding.

Healing from trauma is not one-size-fits-all.
Together, we’ll adapt our sessions based on your evolving needs, experiences, and hopes for the future.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including:

• Trauma-Informed Practice
• Strengths-Based Counselling
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Somatic Regulation Strategies
• Narrative and Meaning-Making Work
   

✅ NDIS participants can flexibly use their Capacity Building funding to access these sessions — supporting emotional wellbeing, daily living skills, and personal empowerment.

Trauma affects people in many different ways - emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
You might notice impacts immediately after an event, or months (even years) later.

Through online trauma counselling at LEXs, I can support you to work through challenges such as:

• Persistent feelings of fear, helplessness, or hypervigilance
• Emotional numbness, disconnection, or difficulty trusting others
• Nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive memories
• Anxiety, depression, or overwhelming sadness
• Low self-esteem, shame, or guilt related to past experiences
• Difficulty setting boundaries or feeling safe in relationships
• Grief and loss linked to traumatic events
• Coping with childhood trauma or complex PTSD (C-PTSD)

Trauma counselling is not about "fixing" you - because you are not broken.
It’s about creating a safe space to explore, process, and gently rebuild emotional safety, self-trust, and empowerment.

✅ If you're accessing counselling through your NDIS plan (self-managed or plan-managed), sessions can be tailored to support goals around emotional wellbeing, daily living skills, resilience, and community participation.

Choosing trauma counselling is a big step - and choosing online counselling adds important advantages that can support your healing journey.

Here’s why many people choose online trauma counselling at LEXs:

Being in your own familiar space can reduce anxiety and create a stronger sense of emotional safety - essential for trauma recovery.

No matter where you live - city, rural, or remote - online trauma counselling ensures you have access to experienced, compassionate support without the barriers of travel.

Online sessions offer greater scheduling freedom, allowing you to integrate therapy into your life without added stress.
NDIS participants (self-managed or plan-managed) can also flexibly use online sessions to meet their wellbeing and personal development goals.

Research shows that online trauma therapy is just as effective as face-to-face counselling for many people - offering the same therapeutic relationship, safety, and outcomes.

Online counselling at LEXs is always guided by your pace, your preferences, and your needs.
There is no pressure to share anything before you feel ready - your control and consent are central to the process.
