Are you feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, domestic and family violence, grief, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, or major life changes? You don't have to face it alone. I support children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families through compassionate, trauma-informed counselling in Gosford, Tuggerah, and online across NSW. I welcome referrals through Victims Support, SIRA (Workers Compensation), CTP, NDIS, EAP, and private referrals. Together, we work towards healing, resilience, emotional regulation, and meaningful change.
I provide trauma-informed counselling using evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT,DBT, mindfulness, play therapy, and creative therapies. I support clients experiencing trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Therapy is personalised to your needs, strengths&goals
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. I offer lived experience, warm, respectful, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you are navigating trauma, relationships, emotional challenges, illness or life changes, I will walk alongside you at your own pace.
