I am registered as a Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). I feel human connection is pivotal to our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Our connectedness to family, friends and our community is integral to protecting and healing us from the stressors and trauma’s that we all will experience as part of our human experience.
My counselling style is person-centred and solution focused. I have an interest in attachment theory and family systems theory. During each session it is important that you feel empowered and supported in finding practical solutions to real life challenges.
