How counselling can help
A space to land and make sense of your experiences.
Counselling can offer a warm and grounded space to slow down, understand yourself with more compassion, and explore the experiences that have shaped you.
At Among Puffins, we might explore:
developing a kinder and more secure relationship with yourself
understanding patterns, reactions, and coping strategies that once helped you but may no longer feel useful
building awareness of your needs, emotions, boundaries, and values
navigating relationships and exploring the ways you connect with others
making sense of feelings of overwhelm, numbness, disconnection, or being stuck
working through grief, life changes, and experiences that have impacted how you see yourself and the world
building greater self-trust, self-acceptance, and capacity to navigate life’s challenges
Counselling isn’t about changing who you are or fitting you into a particular mould. It’s about creating space to understand yourself more deeply and find ways of moving through life that feel more aligned with who you are.
Hi, I’m Liz!
The person behind Among Puffins Counselling.
I’m a registered counsellor and practicing therapist. I offer online counselling across Australia with low-fee options available in support of making mental health services more accessible. My work primarily centres women and LGBTQIA+ people, while welcoming anyone who feels aligned with my approach.
Many of the people I work with have spent a long time adapting, masking, prioritising others, or trying to make sense of experiences that haven’t always been widely recognised or understood.
If you’d like to get to know more about me, my approach, and what working together might look like, you can explore that here.
You can also visit my services page to learn more about the experiences I commonly support, including neurodivergence, chronic illness, relationships, identity, grief, and emotional wellbeing.

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.
