Contact and location information for Peritherapy
Support for women during perimenopause and menopause.
Peritherapy is based in Gymea, providing women in my local community with perimenopause and menopause support. Through Ecotherapy - I combine physical and mental health with F2F therapy via a ‘walk and talk’ appointment, along the stunning Cronulla coastline. However, I also offer online video consults, providing therapy sessions to women needing support through perimenopause and menopause, across Australia and internationally.
Physical, mental, and environmental wellbeing are deeply interconnected. Regular physical activity and ecotherapy—nature-based therapeutic practices—together nurture holistic health by improving physiological function, emotional balance, and life satisfaction.
Ecotherapy and Nature Connection
Ecotherapy uses natural environments as a therapeutic medium, engaging the senses to reduce distress and foster wellbeing. Research indicates that spending time outdoors lowers cortisol levels, blood pressure, and heart rate, promoting calmness and emotional restoration. Activities such as forest bathing, gardening, or walking in green spaces have been linked to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and greater vitality. Even brief interactions with nature—such as viewing greenery or hearing birdsong—can improve relaxation and cognitive function.
With Peritherapy based in Gymea, 10 mins drive from the stunning Cronulla coastline, clients can enjoy integrated wellbeing in a ‘walk and talk’ F2F Peritherapy consult. Combining regular physical activity with ecotherapy amplifies wellbeing outcomes. This dual approach supports stress management, connection and a sense of belonging within the natural world - key ingredients for sustainable mental and physical health.

The remaining 50% of the session fee is due at the time of your appointment. This will be deducted automatically from the credit card you made your initial booking with.
Do you offer Medicare Rebates and work with Mental Health Plans?
Psychotherapists and counsellors are not currently included in the Better Access Initiative and therefore cannot participate as providers with mental health plans.
It would be a very cost and clinically effective way to rapidly address shortfalls in the demand for and supply of mental health services and consequently strong lobbying is underway to challenge this.
Many of my clients do not have and do not want mental health diagnoses, which is something that a doctor must assess you for to provide access to Medicare mental health plans.
