“I’m honestly so grateful for Lita from Platypus Counselling.
We first met at a Djirra Sisters Day Out, and not long after, I reached out , I was really going through it. Things felt heavy. I wasn’t being paid, I was feeling depressed, isolated, broke, and just not myself. It really wasn’t a deadly time.
Lita made it feel safe to open up. She listened without judgment and offered real, practical support that helped me start putting things back together. With her guidance, I found the confidence to apply for a new jobs and I got one!!
I genuinely think I would’ve been in a much worse place without the encouragement and care she gave me.
Now I’m slowly finding my feet again, spending more time with friends, feeling a little lighter, and starting to feel more like myself. I’m even making art again.
I’m really thankful I reached out when I did. I’ll always be so grateful 💜”

“I really liked talking to Lita, as I feel she was so easy to talk to and I didn’t feel she was judging me. I have seen lots of counsellors over the years, but Lita is different. I opened up to her and told her some things I never have told anyone and she was very supportive. I felt I was talking to a good friend, and I could just be myself. I usually am a tough minded lady and do get angry about minor things, but I found Lita was able to guide me and get to what was happening within. I only had a few funded appointments with Lita, but it made all the difference. ”
