Hi, I’m Liz!
I’m a registered counsellor and practicing therapist. Among Puffins Counselling is a private counselling service run by me, Liz O’Neill.
I primarily work with women, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent people, while welcoming anyone who feels aligned with my approach. I offer grounded, affirming support that recognises how identity, relationships, power and the wider world shape our lives. I aim to create a space where you can be understood in your own context, rather than being judged against a particular idea of what is “normal”.

Liz offer’s online counselling and psychotherapy for women and LGBTQIA+ adults based in Melbourne, Victoria and across Australia. Liz’s practice supports people navigating grief and loss, including suicide bereavement, disenfranchised grief, and grief related to chronic or life-limiting illness. Liz work’s with survivors of childhood trauma, those living with chronic illness or neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism), and people exploring identity, relationships, and life transitions. Many of her clients come to therapy feeling let down, dismissed, or pathologised by traditional health or mental health systems. Liz’s work is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and non-pathologising. Liz draw’s on Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand your emotional world with compassion and depth. I offer affirming, relational therapy for those seeking a space where their lived experience is respected and honoured.
