I have been supporting adults & young people with their mental health challenges for over 20 years, working with diverse populations. Including, over 13 years of experience working with a range of presenting issues in the field of clinical adolescent mental health and Indigenous health. With extensive counselling and psychotherapy experience obtained in a variety of setting including, but not limited to; private practise, NSW Health Dept., Corrective Services, Education Dept., Universities, private detox, and rehabilitation services.
I also hold specialist knowledge and experience supporting people to address substance use issues, and/or addiction challenges. I work with individuals experiencing a range of challenges and issues, such as, depression, anxiety, responses to trauma, grief & loss, low self-esteem, bullying and relationship issues, to name a few.
Before beginning counselling, I like to have a talk with perspective clients to ensure I am the right counsellor to provide the support you require. Services are tailored to meet your individual needs. Appointments are available in person, online and in certain circumstances, walk and talk appointments.
