My website

I work with adults whose lives have been shaped by abusive family systems or controlling relationships. Many of the people I support grew up in environments where their needs were ignored, minimised, or punished, or they have found themselves in relationships marked by emotional harm, manipulation, or coercive control. My approach to counselling is trauma informed, compassionate, and grounded in respect for your autonomy. I believe healing comes from being supported to understand what has happened. Over time, these experiences can deeply impact self trust, boundaries, and the ability to feel safe in relationships

This practice offers specialist counselling for individuals impacted by abusive and controlling relationships, with a strong focus on emotional safety and autonomy. • Understanding of emotional and physical abuse with coercive control • Explicit support for low or no contact decisions • Client paced, trauma informed care

Beginning counselling can feel like a big step. I offer the first session free so you can experience the space, ask questions, and see whether you feel safe and understood. Should you wish to continue, sessions are offered at $100.00 per 50-minute session. I am also Bupa approved if you wish to use your private health cover.

I work with clients that may have issues relating to trauma stemming from childhood, life events, abusive relationships or family violence. During our initial sessions, we will work together to delve into the root of the issues and create a plan to help you get your life back on track. Most of my clients begin seeing relief within a month or two and ongoing improvement thereafter.

Many people come to counselling feeling stuck in patterns they do not fully understand, particularly in relationships. You may find yourself over giving, doubting your own perceptions, staying in unsafe dynamics, or feeling strong guilt when you try to set boundaries. Schema and integrative therapy offers a compassionate way to understand where these patterns come from.
