About Cindy
PACFA counsellor Cindy Mulraney has five years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the challenges that come with major life changes. Cindy also supports concerns related to family conflict, abandonment, divorce and separation, loneliness and social anxiety.
Cindy focuses on straightforward conversations that help people make sense of what is happening for them. She encourages clients to talk through thoughts and feelings and to try small changes between sessions. Sessions are described plainly and without jargon so parents can see what will happen at the first meeting.
Her approach aims to reduce immediate overwhelm and build practical coping skills. Cindy helps people identify unhelpful patterns and experiment with alternatives. She also works with people affected by post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury, paying attention to pacing and what each person can manage.
Cindy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in ways that fit each person’s needs. She discusses options and plans goals with clients before trying a new way of working. The aim is to find methods that feel useful rather than prescribe a single path.
People who choose to work with Cindy begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. She explains how sessions operate and what to expect at the first meeting, so parents and carers can make an informed decision about next steps.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Evidence-based approaches are used to address common concerns. One approach focuses on practical coping skills that teach breathing, grounding and brief behavioural changes to manage stress and anxiety. These techniques aim to reduce immediate distress and provide tools for daily situations.Another approach works on recognising unhelpful thought patterns and gently testing alternative ways of thinking and behaving. This helps with depression, social anxiety and making clearer decisions during life changes. Both approaches emphasise pacing so tasks feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client what to try first, adjusting methods based on the person’s goals and preferences. This means sessions are collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work or caring responsibilities and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when life is busy, or longer sessions when more time is needed, depending on what the therapist and client agree on.
