Bluegum Counselling

About Bluegum Counselling

Bluegum Counselling is a free counselling service based in Hornsby Heights Sydney, nestled in the beautiful surrounding bushland. It offers a safe, caring, and confidential space for individuals seeking support, growth, and healing.

Bluegums are known for their resilience and steady growth, even after fire. In the same way, counselling can be a space where new growth begins, even through incredibly difficult seasons.

Bluegum Counselling exists to provide a calm and grounded environment where clients feel heard, respected, and supported as they take steps forward on their life journey.

This service is currently offered as part of a supervised Master of Counselling practicum through Morling College.

About Me

My name is Esther and I'm currently completing my Master of Counselling through Morling College and am providing free counselling sessions as part of finishing my course.

As part of my final training requirements, I am offering free counselling sessions under the supervision of an experienced, qualified clinical supervisor.

My approach to counselling is relational, holistic, and client centred. I value creating a space where people feel genuinely listened to and not rushed or judged.

I am committed to practising ethically and professionally in line with Australian counselling standards.

I have a particular interest in supporting individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, emotional regulation, life transitions, family dynamics, or those looking toward meaningful and sustainable personal growth.
