As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, with a B Social Work, a Master in Counselling SW from the UNSW and over 20 years of experience in various sectors including mental health, addiction, child protection, domestic violence, and family work, I bring a comprehensive and compassionate approach to my work. My practice is particularly geared towards addressing issues like trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and problematic substance use. I employ a range of therapeutic techniques, such as EMDR, DBT, CBT, IPT, Narrative Therapy, Couple and Family Systems Therapy.
Together, we'll work on creating personalised strategies that are aligned with your goals, ensuring that you’re actively involved in shaping your recovery. My ultimate goal is to empower you, enhancing your strengths and fostering a sense of independence, so you're equipped to tackle life's hurdles with confidence and self-awareness.
Counselling helps manage tough emotions such as trauma, guilt, shame, and sadness, offering clarity on thoughts and actions. It aids in self-understanding, evaluating options, and prioritizing personal values. Through counselling, gain tools for self-acceptance, challenging negative beliefs, understanding behaviours, and fostering positive change.
