I have spent half of my professional life working with people. This translated into a desire to help people in need, which led me to studying psychology and counselling. I believe, the most important skill for a counsellor is to strive for connection, assisting the client with their life issues or questions. My aim is to listen, connect and provide that support on a journey of healing or change.
I have had a varied work life experience including management, workhealth and safety. My professional learning has included counselling, psychology, positive psychology, wellbeing and work injury support, enabling me to draw on these skills and experiences to help you.
I believe in a non-judgemental and empathic listening approach supporting a generalist, eclectic and person centered approach to mental health, rather than being constrained to a specific therapy, theory or modality. I have an interest in group work and have been part of a men’s group for a number of years.
