Most couples I work with aren't in crisis yet, they've simply exhausted all options they know of to reconnect. Having a third party in the room to bring a fresh perspective to your experiences can help.

Whether you're in a new relationship, a long-term partnership, or experiencing doubts, conflict or a lack of alignment, we’ll work together to reconnect you and find your way back to each other as unique individuals.

Drawing on decades of experience in leadership coaching, psychosocial change management and counselling in my work with organisations, individuals and couples, I focus on helping you navigate connection, clarity, intimacy, redefining roles, FIFO (fly-in-fly-out) and infidelity, either with your partner or on your own.

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 and couples.

Focus areas:

  • Relationships, infidelity, connection 

  • Life transitions and adjustment 

  • FIFO individuals and relationships 

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Burnout and overwhelm

  • Grief and loss

  • IVF, infertility, assisted reproduction

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.”
