Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counselling in Hunter Region, NSW
As a fellow human, I deeply understand that pain and suffering, although normal, can be exquisitely hard. I provide a safe space for you to explore the struggles in your life and how your backstory affects you today. Together we can discover and establish the story you want to lead going forward; one in which you can be at rest and flourish.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, confused, emotionally overwhelmed? Does life seem overwhelming, unfair, sad, unfulfilling, directionless, hopeless? Do you simply want more from life? You’re not alone. I endeavour to understand what is important for you, which means that I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. Using empathy and non-judgement, I listen to understand what life is like for you and to ‘get’ you - what you are thinking and feeling, how the events of life have impacted you, and what you want and need. I create a safe space to be open and real about what you are experiencing.

Welcome! Finding the right psychologist can be a daunting process- especially if you have experienced trauma in the past. I want to acknowledge how much courage it takes to even begin the search.
I would describe myself as a passionate and dedicated clinical psychologist who brings warmth, authenticity, and genuine care into the therapy space. I work from a trauma-informed and attachment-based perspective. This means I deeply understand how our past experiences shape our current relationships, emotions, health, and sense of self.

Using a blend of counselling, intuition, mindfulness techniques and deep listening, I help you reconnect with the soul essence of who you are, rather than what other people have told you to be, and find clarity, self-trust, and your own voice again.
You’ve always held it together for everyone.
But a question inside is stirring now.
Maybe it’s a whisper, or maybe it’s loud….
Who am I?
I work with women at turning points — feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, or quietly questioning who they really are.
Whether it's life after loss, burnout, relationship breakdowns, or a moment where nothing feels like “you” anymore, know that you're not alone.

With extensive clinical experience and ongoing research, I offer trauma-informed therapy that blends evidence-based methods like CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness with insights from eight years of Buddhist psychotherapy study.
I am a clinical psychologist based in Sydney who works with individuals who appear high-functioning on the outside but carry anxiety, trauma, or deep emotional fatigue. My clients are often insightful and sensitive, seeking clarity, healing, and a more authentic way of living. They come to therapy not just to manage symptoms, but to understand themselves more deeply, break long-standing patterns, and feel seen in a safe and compassionate space. I support them with a thoughtful, integrative approach that honours both science and the human story.

I use a combination of therapies, including CBT, Mindfulness, ACT, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing.
Your nervous system is designed to heal! I know it's sometimes hard to imagine what life could be like without anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, the same repeating challenges in relationships, at work, with family, etc. Awareness and mindset work is always great, it is a necessary, ongoing part of the process, but alone it doesn't always reach the deeper roots of the issue. Unless we address the underlying patterns in the nervous system, sustainable change can feel so hard, sometimes impossible. But your body knows how to heal and it's always communicating with you.
