​Get to Know Me:​

Choosing your therapist is one of the most important steps in starting counselling - the fit really matters, and you’ll usually know when it feels right. To make that easier, I offer a free first chat. It’s simply a chance for us to talk on the phone, get to know each other, explore what’s been going on for you, and answer any questions. Many people say it felt natural and relaxed, and that it took the pressure off - making it much easier to begin counselling because we’d already connected.

And if you’re curious, I’m on Instagram too - where I share bits of my work (and the occasional slightly awkward video of me trying to get more comfortable on camera 🙈).

You can also learn more about my journey into counselling - as featured by SLAM Society.

My Experience:​

I’m a fully qualified and registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and hold a Master of Counselling from the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC). ​​​

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people in many different settings - community counselling, bereavement support, hospitals, and crisis lines. My work has included time with Lifeline Australia, Lifeline Sydney & Sutherland, StandBy Support After Suicide, Hopefield Services, and St Vincent’s Hospital. What has stayed with me most is the courage people bring to these moments, and the way healing can begin simply by having someone alongside them in their journey.

​​​

My Focus Areas:

I support clients through many of life's challenges - burnout, grief and loss, anxiety, parenting struggles, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, work stress, depression, and life transitions. I’ve also been part of group programs supporting trauma recovery, and I hold a special interest in helping people not just heal, but also rediscover their sense of strength and possibility afterwards.

​​

My Therapeutic Style:

My approach is collaborative and flexible. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, I draw from a mix of therapeutic styles so that our work fits you. This can include Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness practices, and Self-Compassion - all tailored to support your needs, your preferences, and the way you naturally make sense of the world.

​​

Flexible Counselling to fit your lifestyle:

Finding time for yourself isn’t always easy, so I aim to offer counselling in ways that fit around your life, including evening and weekend appointments. You can choose face-to-face counselling in my beautiful, private room in Caringbah (Sutherland Shire), connect online or by phone, or try Walk and Talk Therapy - because sometimes fresh air and movement make all the difference. Many of my clients mix and match depending on the week they're having!
