In Person Counselling in Avalon Beach, NSW
Monday to Saturday, both in-person at my private practice in Avalon and online via zoom.
My ideal client is a high-functioning, emotionally intelligent woman blindsided by betrayal- infidelity, porn use, or secret-keeping. She feels anxious, disoriented, and unsafe. She needs clinical healing, clarity, and real support. Her goal is to reclaim her voice, rebuild self-trust, and feel whole again- not just surviving, but rising stronger, wiser, and deeply empowered. I offer EMDR intensives specifically designed for betrayed partners, combining deep clinical healing with focused, trauma-informed support.

Are you struggling with PTSD, complex PTSD, or any addiction? Is your current therapy just not working even though you tried your hardest? Recent brain research tells us that talk therapy doesn't give us the expected outcomes we once thought. We know that traumatic incidents can affect us years later. Our brain stores past traumas in a particular way that tries to keep us safe from disturbing memories; we know that the trauma resurfaces elsewhere. It comes out in flashbacks, heightened nervous system responses or self-soothing behaviours, which result in addictions. If you feel like you are going around in circles, help is at hand.

I work with individuals who are navigating addiction, mental health challenges, major life transitions, or moments where old ways of coping no longer fit. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or at a crossroads, wanting meaningful change but unsure where to start. Together, we gently untangle what’s happening beneath the surface and build practical, sustainable ways forward.

Sometimes things feel like they are too hard. Sometimes we may feel like we are 'stuck' because of a challenging situation or from a past pattern of behaviour that doesn't seem to let us go. Sometimes our thoughts seem to go around and around and take control of our actions. Sometimes, we just don't know which direction we need to head in, or want to head in, and why. These transitions in life need some time to process. And sometimes it feels like nobody understands us and we just need someone to talk to and to find a bit of grounding and presence.

I am guided by the idea that we all have an inner wisdom and innate abilities of self-leadership, but sometimes we can become stuck in self-limiting patterns, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours.
Furthermore, at different times in our lives many of us will be faced with a mental health issue or major life challenge such as death and other losses, mental or physical health concerns, substantial change, work stress and relationship conflict. In these types of situations, we can benefit from working with a trained professional to help navigate through, find new solutions and increase self-awareness and wellbeing.

As your counsellor, I work with you to meet the challenges in your life as you experience them. In a safe, caring space you are free to express your feelings, be heard and understood: where you can honestly explore your concerns. Together, we can clarify what kind of life you want to live, recognise your strengths and resources, discover your options, increase your self-awareness, and develop strategies to help you live your life the way you choose. My background in the performing arts has given me an appreciation of the incredible diversity in perspectives and choices we make as individuals, and to truly value the human spirit.

I work with all ages and genders, both in-person and online.
I work with people who feel deeply—highly sensitive people who often carry more than others realise. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why everything feels so overwhelming or exhausting, I want you to know: there’s nothing wrong with you. Sensitivity isn’t a flaw that needs fixing—it’s just the way you experience the world and it is a gift. My job is to help you work with your sensitivity, not against it. I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused approach to my counselling, along with my background in yoga, Ayurveda, and holistic wellness.
