If you're in recovery and scared it's not going to stick — I get it. I've been there. I'm a counsellor with almost 20 years of clinical experience and my PhD research specialises in addiction recovery and relapse prevention. I work with people who are serious about lasting change, not just getting through the week. My Terrigal clinic is a short drive from anywhere on the Central Coast, and I offer telehealth if that's easier. Call me for a free 15-minute chat — no pressure, no forms, just a conversation. If you are ready for recovery - REALLY ready - then let's get started.
With personal experience overcoming depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction, I bring nearly 20 years of clinical experience as a counsellor specialising in addiction recovery and relapse prevention. I work with people who are genuinely committed to lasting change — not just getting through the week.
Reaching out takes courage — but you don't have to do this alone. Whether you're fighting addiction, healing from trauma, or rebuilding your sense of self, I'm here. Not with judgment. Not with a script. Just real support from someone who's walked a similar road. Your healing starts today.
