Gambling Counselling in Leichhardt, NSW

I bring four decades of experience in mental health, art, design. I work with individuals, couples, and family members who seek to change their relationships with themselves and others. I aim to open possibilities to people who have little hope for change, struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms, feeling overwhelmed and lost. This is often accompanied by counterproductive soothing behaviours such as substance use, addiction to gambling, gaming, sex, or screen use. Further, some clients may stay in relationships that deepen their belief that they cannot become the agents of their own lives.

Counselling can help you gain clarity, stay focused, know your true purpose and move forward, providing meaning to your life.

Your desire to grow, develop and explore change will ultimately lead you to live that purposeful, fulfilling and happy life! Everyone deserves to experience being happy!

I want to help you overcome the current challenges you are facing. You may be new to counselling and I want to make this a positive experience for you. I am a professional counsellor with lived experience of addiction and mental illness and I bring this knowledge to help you. Additionally, post pandemic, life is very different than it was four years ago and this maybe the reason you are seeking help. You may be unsure of why it is you are feeling the way you do and would like someone to talk to.

You may be feeling depressed, anxious, stressed or angry. Perhaps you were exposed to trauma. You may have experienced work-related issues where you were bullied or undervalued. There may be issues in your personal life with relationships or your health. You may have a disability, leaving you feeling stigmatised and isolated. Alternatively, you may be experiencing forensic/criminal matters and you need a report for court, or you are required to engage in counselling. I have nearly 20 years of experience helping people address a range of concerns.

Are you struggling with an eating disorder, alcoholism or an addiction? Or are you already in recovery but experiencing high anxiety, coming up against obstacles in relationships, or finding your emotions overwhelming? If you're ready for change, I can provide you with the support you need to move beyond these difficulties and start living your life with purpose, peace, freedom and contentment.

“The best therapeutic experience comes from combining cutting-edge psychology with a great trusting partnership. I find it deeply meaningful to empower you, and celebrate your success as you become the best version of yourself. In the therapy room I create a space where you can open up to your vulnerabilities without fear of judgement, and my style is collaborative, relaxed and compassionate. Over my career, I’ve sought out and honed a range of therapeutic skills so that I can match my offering to what best suits you. My hope is pass on the blueprint to understanding, coping and overcoming challenges both now and in the future"

There are times in our lives when we get that sinking feeling that something is not right. Such moments often follow major life events, such as grieving for a loved one, the break-up of a relationship, moving countries, facing health issues or even children leaving home and retirement. Other times, they appear from nowhere. Resulting feelings can be so pervasive that they impact our mental, emotional and physical well-being, creating conflict in relationships and impact our ability to function. They may also start manifesting in one’s seeking isolation, inability to see joy in life and can lead to depressive conditions.
