I have a diverse background in counselling with a strong focus on assisting families in their journey towards improved mental and emotional well-being. With years of experience in the field, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of families facing various challenges and I worked with children and adolescents out of home care as a therapeutic worker for a not for profit organisation (DCJ). My approach to counselling is rooted in empathy, active listening, and a deep commitment to fostering healthier relationships within the family unit.

My practice is informed by a humanistic-existential approach, which means, I understand the complexity of individual intrapersonal and interpersonal experiences and believe that they are at the heart of our human experience. I believe we all have it within us to create meaning and purpose in our lives and this can only occur when we come to understand our lives are not something to overcome but rather something we must face with compassion and tenderness. I draw on evidence based modalities such as CBT, ACT, EFT, IFS, family systems, and Gottman approach to support and guide individual and couples therapy.

Life can be perplexing at times. Psychotherapy can help. It firstly involves meeting together to understand your current experience and to foster a relationship of safety. We can then work respectfully to help you find fresh and empowering responses to the patterns and relationships that are causing stress and distress. I draw on evidence-based approaches - developmental psychology (ANZAP), mindfulness training (MBSR and MiCBT) and Internal Family Systems Therapy. These approaches harness present moment awareness and exploration to build a more compassionate and empowering relationship with yourself.

Consider me your "Connection Coach". Relationships and sexuality are essential to well-being in love and life. However, this area can be confusing and challenging to navigate alone, making professional guidance invaluable. Finding the right help can be tough, as even well-meaning professionals may lack the knowledge and skills needed to address these issues effectively. That's why I've dedicated myself to studying and training at the highest levels to support you in gaining clarity around your sexuality and relationships, both individually and as a couple. I'm here to help you understand and improve these vital aspects of your life.
