I am a compassionate, client-centred Counsellor & Psychotherapist supporting individuals, couples, and families through relationship challenges, family conflict, and life transitions. With experience in both legal and mental health settings, like Relationship Australia SA & Anglicare SA.I provide practical, empathetic support, including court-mandated counselling. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as CBT, Emotion-Focused and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have a special interest in working with women, adolescent girls, and couples, focusing on empowerment, self-worth and meaningful change in a safe, supportive space.
I provide evidence-based counselling for individuals, couples, and families experiencing relationship and family challenges, stress, grief and loss, or ongoing worry. Through a collaborative and compassionate approach, I help clients feel supported while building resilience, insight, and practical tools to enhance wellbeing and navigate life transitions.
Seeking support can feel challenging, especially during times of stress, loss, or relationship difficulties. If life feels difficult—whether due to family challenges, emotional distress, or ongoing worry—I offer a safe, respectful, and collaborative space to help you feel supported as you move forward at your own pace.

I am registered with PACFA, so clients with private health cover may be able to claim through their insurance. I also offer affordable fees for those who may struggle financially, as I believe payment should not be a barrier to accessing support and mental health care.
