MindHaus
CounsellingMeet DOm
A qualified counsellor, registered with the Australian Counselling Association and based in Geelong.
Dom cares about meaningful conversations and getting to know your story — the parts you share easily and the bits that take a little longer. She knows that loving your life and finding it bloody hard can both be true. She brings warmth, humour and honesty to counselling, with room for the things you carry quietly or struggle to say out loud.
Her approach is grounded in person-centred counselling and the belief that nobody knows your life quite like you do. Sometimes, though, having the space to explore things from a different perspective can help us understand ourselves a little better.
Dom's style is a little less traditional, with a conversational, down-to-earth approach that makes room for you to show up however you are. She values individuality, choice and the freedom to find your own way, without feeling pressured to fit someone else's idea of who you should be.
Her areas of interest and experience include anxiety, low mood, self-worth, alcohol and other drug use, ADHD, relationships, grief and navigating life's changes. But life doesn't always fit neatly into categories, and neither do the things we might need support with.
About MindHaus
I’ve always thought of the mind a little like a house.
Full of different levels. Familiar rooms and forgotten ones.
Secret doors, unexplored passages, places filled with light and others we’ve kept closed for a long time.
Every part holds something — our experiences, relationships, memories, patterns, hurt, hope and the things we’ve learnt along the way just to get through.
Making sense of the paths that brought you here — and perhaps finding a few you didn’t know existed.
That’s MindHaus.
To me, counselling isn’t about walking in and deciding what needs fixing.
Some things need exploring.
Understanding the rooms you keep finding yourself in.
Discovering why certain doors have been closed.
A space to explore what’s there, understand how it came to be, and decide what you want to create from here.
No perfect minds. No perfectly put-together people.
Maybe it’s not about becoming someone new. Maybe it’s about understanding who’s been there all along.
Things People Usually Ask…..
Do I need a reason to come to counselling?
You don't need to be in crisis or have everything figured out to reach out. Maybe life feels overwhelming, something's been weighing on you, or you just don't feel quite yourself. Whatever brings you here, there's room for it. No labels, no perfect explanations. We can start wherever you're at.
Counselling sessions are $130 for 50 minutes, with one standard fee for everyone. There are no concession rates or Medicare rebates available at this stage. Just clear, upfront pricing with no surprises.
How much does a session cost?
MindHaus offers face-to-face counselling in Highton, Geelong, as well as online and phone sessions. Whether you'd prefer to sit down together or chat from the comfort of your own space, there's an option to suit you. Comfy clothes absolutely welcome!
So where do we meet?
MindHaus welcomes young people aged 16 and over, as well as adults. Whether you're finding your feet, navigating life's messy middle or figuring things out a little later in life, there's space for you here. Counselling is shaped around you, your experiences and what matters most to you
What ages do you work with?
What if i need to cancel or reschedule?
Life happens, and sometimes plans change. All I ask is at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations may incur a $65 fee, as outlined in the cancellation policy. A little heads-up goes a long way!
Easy! Follow the booking link, choose a time that works for you and complete your details. Not quite ready to book or have a few questions? You're always welcome to reach out first. No pressure, just a conversation.
