I offer counselling for couples and individuals, both in-person on the Central Coast (West Gosford, NSW), online and by phone.
Aligned Relationship Therapy offers support to individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns of conflict, disconnection, or imbalance. They may struggle with communication, intimacy, trust, or carrying unresolved wounds from past relationships. What they want is to feel heard, valued, and supported, while learning healthier ways to connect, manage conflict, and align their relationships with their values, moving from “just getting by” to experiencing deeper connection and growth.

I provide therapy sessions both online and in person.
We all have our reasons for seeking therapy—maybe you’re feeling stuck, lonely, or need a bit of direction in life. Whatever your reason, know that it comes from a desire to make a change and improve the aspects of your life that no longer serve you. Taking that first step to reach out can be a little scary, but it’s also an incredible display of courage. I genuinely believe everyone wants to be heard, seen, and accepted just as they are. Therapy offers a welcoming space to find acceptance and lead a more fulfilling life.
