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.
My approach to therapy is feminist and compassion-focused. I strongly believe that people who come to therapy are already resilient. Feminist therapy acknowledges that therapy should not solely focus on "mental health issues" but review how people’s context (social, cultural, environmental) has played a role in their presenting thoughts, feelings, etc.
I have a particular interest in supporting adolescents and adults who: • Have never been to therapy or have felt that previous therapy attempts did not work for them • Identify as womxn, LGBTIQ+ • Have experienced gender-based violence • Live with chronic pain and illness • Have migrated to Australia or Tasmania from overseas or interstate

I work with people from a trauma-informed lens. I use compassion as the main therapy, based on work by Gabor Mate. Like Bessel van der Kolk, I know that "the body keeps the score" and I help clients make sense of what they carry in themselves (mind and body), consciously or not.
