About KINETIX
Support that feels like a partnership.
KINETIX is an independent Australian counselling and mentoring practice built around a simple belief - good support starts with understanding the person, not just the problem.
Mental health, relationships, disability, past experiences, everyday responsibilities and personal circumstances can all influence how we're feeling and managing. Sometimes you need someone to talk to. Sometimes you need practical guidance - a little structure or support to make changes. Often, it's a combination of things.
I offer one-on-one online counselling and mentoring that considers the bigger picture, including your experiences, strengths, circumstances and what matters most to you.
There's no expectation to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can start wherever you are.
Why I created KINETIX
I established KINETIX because I wanted to offer support that felt more human, accessible and genuinely useful.
I wanted to create a practice where people feel listened to, respected and involved in decisions about their own support. A place where conversations feel natural, and where the focus is on what's meaningful and realistic for each individual.
The aim is to support you in building the skills to move forward in a way that works for you.
Meet Maxine
Hello! I'm Maxine.
I'm the founder of KINETIX, a counsellor and mentor, and the person you'll be working with.
I've always been interested in understanding people — not just what they're going through, but how their experiences, wellbeing and everyday circumstances shape their lives.
My background includes holistic counselling, trauma-informed support, psychodynamic psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. I'm also continuing to develop my knowledge in alcohol and other drugs and legal settings.
I know that life isn't always straightforward, and sometimes having someone who genuinely listens, understands your circumstances and works alongside you can make a real difference.
That's why I created KINETIX — to offer down-to-earth, personalised support that considers the whole person, not just the challenges they're facing.
A little about my approach
I believe people deserve to be treated with dignity, compassion and respect, regardless of their background, experiences or current circumstances.
My approach is guided by a combination of professional training and lived experience, both of which have influenced how I understand mental health, adversity and personal challenges.
People don't always have the words to explain what they're experiencing, particularly when life feels overwhelming. I take a collaborative approach, which means listening first, exploring different perspectives and working alongside you to identify what might be helpful.
I value honesty, curiosity and conversations that feel genuine. Most importantly, I recognise that you're the expert on your own life. My role is to bring knowledge and support to the conversation - not to make your decisions for you.
