I support mothers who care deeply about connection with their children, but feel overwhelmed by the emotional load of motherhood and guilty when they lose patience. Through compassionate counselling support, I help mothers better understand their triggers, process past trauma, reconnect with themselves, and navigate motherhood with greater compassion and intention.
I offer sessions via Telehealth or in-person near Port Macquarie. I hold a PhD in maternal mental health and a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I also work as a Lecturer in the field of Counselling alongside my practice. I am a certified Mother Studies Practitioner, having undertaken Dr Sophie Brock's course examining the sociology of motherhood.
Please feel free to get in touch via email to arrange a free chat. Alternatively you can book directly via my calender link on this page.

I work in a relational way, supporting women to connect with their emotions and understand relational patterns and past traumas that may be contributing to present day challenges. I also integrate a sociological lens, helping mothers to deconstruct unhelpful beliefs that they may have unconsciously internalised that can contribute to guilt and burnout.
