About

Many people seek counselling because they've exhausted the options they know of and aren't sure how to move forward. Sometimes, a fresh perspective can help you make sense of what's happening, rebuild trust and begin repairing what feels disconnected.

Understanding yourself and each other

Whether you're navigating personal challenges, working through difficulties in a relationship or with family, we'll work together to better understand your experiences, strengthen communication and rebuild connection.

The aim isn't to change who you are, but to help you better understand yourself and one another, repair relationships where possible, and find a way forward with greater clarity and understanding.

Supporting you through life's challenges

As an experienced counsellor drawing on significant professional and lived experience, I bring a broad understanding of people, relationships, trauma and the pressure of uncertainty. I support individuals, couples and families to navigate life's challenges, rebuild trust and find clarity and purpose. Whether you're redefining roles, managing life transitions, navigating FIFO, working through infidelity or addressing challenges in family dynamics; my approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique experiences to help you strengthen your understanding and find a way forward.

I am a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association and have worked with clients in my private practice in Sydney and now in East Victoria Park, Perth.

New clients welcome. In-person and online appointments are available for individuals, couples and families. No waitlists.

Approach

The aim of counselling is to relieve distress, raise awareness and understanding of oneself and others, and create an elevated sense of wellbeing by tapping into your inner resources and putting things into perspective.

Using a trauma-informed, person-centred approach to counselling means that you set the context for the sessions and are always treated as the expert in your life.

Through evidence-based therapy techniques we can together identify the inner skills and resources you can draw on as we explore, reflect, and connect the issues you’re experiencing regardless of gender, religious affiliation, race, cultural heritage, sexual orientation or economic circumstance.

“The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood.”
