Counselling in 3550
I work with clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, grief, low self-worth, or major life transitions. Some are dealing with burnout, relationship struggles, or questions around identity and change. They’re often looking for a space where they can feel understood and supported—somewhere they can begin to manage life’s demands with more confidence and clarity. Together, we focus on improving emotional wellbeing, building resilience, and reconnecting with what truly matters. I offer a space to reflect, heal, and move forward—at your own pace.

I work with parents, families, individuals, and couples, who feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges and want to make sense of their experiences.

Often in today's world, we get caught up in so many distractions on the outside that we are not always aware of our internal experiences. We walk around anxious and depressed, with critical thoughts of ourselves and others, and often live a reality that is separate from our own personal wishes and desires. I believe that therapy provides a safe space to step away from all the external distractions and focus on identifying and responding to our emotional world in the most open and connected way, which may have been too painful to do in the past.

I am an authentic and bubbly French-Australian human who made the decision to become a counsellor after my own lived experiences of mental and physical health struggles. Born in rural France, where none ever talked about mental health, I began my adult life as a high-achieving corporate professional who believed the only approach to life’s problems was to “get on with it” and just find a way to keep going. Until I realised this didn’t actually work effectively or wholeheartedly and discovered that mental health is a real, normal, valid part of being a human. I now walk the talk and value my physical, mental, emotional health.

You’re the strong one. High-functioning, self-aware, always showing up for others — but quietly battling burnout, self-doubt, and anxious relationships. You crave boundaries, clarity, and deeper self-trust. You want to stop spiraling in your head and start feeling safe in your body and relationships. You're not broken — you're exhausted from surviving. You want to feel steady, empowered, and finally free of patterns that no longer serve you — in love, work, and within yourself.

I am a integrative psychotherapist offering a deeply attuned and mindful presence, that honours all parts of an individual and their experience. Together, we can cultivate curiosity toward thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and internal imagery as they arise.

I come to the therapeutic space with a deep curiosity about life and the people I meet there, their stories, their lives, their relationships with others and most importantly with themselves. I join with you and guide you to discover the more hidden parts of yourself that you haven’t yet explored or have only touched on.
Perhaps there’s a difficult or recurring issue from your personal or professional life that you would like to address. It could be grief, loss, depression, anxiety, addiction, dissociation, historical or current trauma, life transition, identity or relationship issues, or even existential questions and concerns.

Once you know exactly ‘what’ to do you will quickly regain control, find your feet, and move forward. I have over 30 years experience helping people and have been a consultant in charge of a major hospital Psychology Clinic. I have also worked in an Anxiety Disorder Clinic, and Family Therapy Clinic. This level of expertise allows for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment. I employ practical, tested methods. When you are under stress it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you are powerless, and that this is just the way things are. You will start to believe, “I’m not as capable as I once was"

Sometimes life can be really rough and throw us unexpected curveballs that we can’t manage on our own and nor should we. During these times, we all need and deserve to be listened to and have someone who can understand the challenges we are going through, and help navigate us back on track in our own time and without judgement.
I can support you to get through your tough times, whilst also helping you to relearn who you are, who it is you want to be and what has been preventing you from being able to be that person.
