Compassionate, kind & competent Counsellor to individuals, & couples of all ages and stages of life. I specialise in CBT & EMDR which are evidence- based gold standard therapies. I provide therapy to clients who experience complex trauma, relationship challenges, sexual abuse, domestic/family violence, divorce, autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress and other mental health concerns. I also provide work safe services, psych education & anger management training to court mandated clients & CaLD clients (such as international students & asylum seekers who face personal/ legal setbacks when assimilating into Australian society).
As a bilingual counsellor who comes from a mixed race family I am competent in understanding and effectively formulating treatment plans for a diverse range of people. My work experience with clients from across the human lifespan helps me identify and treat their presenting issues in a developmentally appropriate manner with cultural sensitivity.
I believe one’s life is dynamic. The challenges clients face need not be lifelong and mistakes should not become a life sentence. Upholding the clients’ right to self determination, I make allowance for their dignity of risk while maintaining an ethical duty of care. I consider it a sacred privilege to share in a fellow human being’s healing journey.
