FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is "peer counselling" and how is it different from regular therapy? Peer counselling means you are speaking with someone who has walked the path. You don't have to spend the first three sessions explaining industry terminology, safety protocols, or the nuances of the sex work. Because I have lived experience as a sex worker, our sessions bypass the need to educate and go straight to the heart of your experience with a foundation of mutual understanding.
Do I have to use my legal name or provide ID? Your privacy is my highest priority. While I require a way to contact you, you are welcome to use a working name or pseudonym during our sessions. My practice is built on a foundation of clinical confidentiality and digital security to ensure your identity remains protected.
Will you try to save me or tell me to quit the industry? Absolutely not. My practice is rights-based and sex-positive. I believe sex work is work. My role is not to dictate your career path, but to support your mental health, agency, and well-being. Whether you are happily working, navigating workplace trauma, or considering a transition out of the industry, the agenda is always yours.
Can we talk about drug or alcohol use without judgment? Yes. I specialize in addiction recovery and harm reduction. If you are struggling with substance use or navigating the intersection of the industry and addiction, this is a safe, non-pathologising space. We focus on your goals, whether that is total abstinence, controlled use, or simply staying safe.
How do we meet, and is it discreet? I offer sessions via Telehealth (secure video call) across Australia, as well as in-person options in Melbourne. My booking and communication systems are chosen for their encryption and discretion.
