You're not
losing your mind.
You're losing yourself
for two weeks
every month.

PMDD isn't a personality flaw. It isn't weakness. It's a real, recognised condition β€” and there is a way through it that doesn't involve white-knuckling every cycle.

The Reality of PMDD

You have two internal selves.
And they need completely
different things.

Your True Self shows up in the follicular phase β€” clear, connected, capable. She makes good decisions. She loves her life. She knows who she is.

Your PMDD Self shows up in luteal β€” overwhelmed, reactive, convinced everything needs to change right now. She's not broken. She's running a nervous system that is overloaded and out of resources.

Most women spend luteal fighting themselves β€” instead of learning how to support the part that's struggling. That's what we change together.

What happens when you
stop fighting your cycle

"
Amanda has completely transformed the way I experience my PMDD. For the first time, I have strategies and mindset shifts that actually work and make a genuine difference.
A.E. β€” Victoria, Age 40
"
I found Amanda after a particularly tough PMDD episode. Now, I look forward to it. It helps me stay aware of how PMDD affects me, so I can recognise shifts in my thoughts and feelings instead of believing them.
J.T. β€” Sydney, Age 39
"
Her compassion, deep knowledge, and practical guidance have been life-changing. If you're looking for a PMDD counsellor who truly gets it and empowers you to thrive, I can't recommend her enough.

Meet Amanda

I've been exactly
where you are.
Every cycle.

I remember the doctors who told me I was fine. I remember the months with only a few good days. I remember the thoughts that felt too dark to say out loud, and the crushing isolation of feeling like nobody understood.

I'm a registered counsellor, a PMDD survivor, and a third-generation sufferer who spent years figuring out what actually helps. Everything I teach, I've lived.

Common Questions

You might
be wondering…

Honest answers to the questions most women ask before taking the first step.

Get in Touch
Do I need a PMDD diagnosis to start? +
Not at all. Many women come to me unsure whether what they're experiencing is PMDD or another hormonal pattern. We'll track your symptoms together and figure it out as part of the process. You don't need a label to deserve support.
How is this different from regular therapy? +
I use evidence-based therapies specifically chosen for PMDD β€” DBT, ACT, and Internal Family Systems β€” and every strategy is tailored to your cycle stage. Most therapists treat symptoms in isolation. I treat the whole cycle, and I've lived it myself.
Is counselling covered by private health insurance? +
1:1 counselling sessions are covered by many health funds including BUPA and HCF. I have provider numbers with both. Check directly with your fund to confirm your level of cover for counselling sessions.
What if I can't commit to regular sessions? +
The PMDD Reset Methodβ„’ includes a fortnightly live support group every Friday at 12pm β€” so there's always a moment in the calendar to connect, ask questions, and feel held. The modules themselves are fully self-paced, so you can work through them in your own time, in any phase of your cycle.
I'm in crisis right now. Can you help? +
If you're in crisis, please reach out to Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636. I can offer counselling support, but I'm not a crisis service. Once you're through the immediate moment, I'm here β€” and I understand what that moment feels like.
