Life doesn’t always go to plan. Sometimes things happen that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure of what to do next. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, make sense of what’s happening and find practical ways forward. I am a counsellor based in Mackay, Queensland and along with therapy dog Lulu, I offer warm, compassionate, and collaborative counselling both in person and online to individuals across Australia.
Whether you’re looking to manage anxiety, cope with stress, rebuild confidence, manage relationship challenges or simply improve your wellbeing, I am here to help. Together, we will explore what’s getting in the way and work towards getting you back in the driver’s seat - feeling more confident, balanced and in control.
I use evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to support people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, health challenges, self-esteem, personal growth and career concerns.
