The following quote continues to resonate and inspire me: ‘I think the most beautiful thing in the world is watching the light come back on in someone’s eyes when they have been lost in the dark for so long.’ The light slowly returned to my eyes when I embarked on my own recovery journey over 12 years ago. The unexpected gift that emerged from the struggle was a passion for this transformative process and helping guide others out of the darkness. I am a Registered Counsellor and have worked at treatment centers throughout Australia over the last 11 years, most recently at South Pacific Private in Sydney for 6.5 years.
I believe that to achieve long-lasting change, one must be willing to dive deep into exploring the underlying core issues and heal the old wounds that lie beneath the surface. These issues often unwittingly and unconsciously drive 'the tip of the iceberg' or presenting problems showing up in our everyday life – namely, our relationship with self and others.
I pride myself on delivering relatable guidance and support in an empathic manner, having walked down a dark path and found a new way. Recovery has provided the freedom to live in Bali to work remotely, surf and travel. I am available online and can be contacted via email and WhatsApp.
