Counselling in Orange, NSW

I'm a Counsellor and Walk and Talk Therapist, practicing in the Penrith, Blue Mountains, and Camden. My practice is unique as sessions are provided in local parks and walking trails. My vision is to reconnect my clients with the natural environment while enhancing your coping skills, uncovering your personal strengths and empowering you to move forward towards your goals and greater happiness. Consultations are 60 minutes long and the first 30 minute phone session provides the opportunity for you to consider if walk and talk therapy will be a better fit for you.

I have experience providing therapy for people age from 12 to 80 from various cultural backgrounds. I have supported people with mild to severe mental health challenges such as anxiety, stress, and mood disorders including depression and bipolar. I also enjoy supporting life transitions (eg primary to high school, high school to the ‘adult world’, university to a profession, interpersonal relationship changes, relocating to a new area), stressful circumstances, self-understanding and self-improvement.

Sometimes it’s difficult to reach out for help in your relationship. We understand that couples can get into tough spots now and again and for some, the relationship can be hard going and conflictual on an ongoing basis. We identify with the times that COVID19 has brought upon us all. Relationship issues have surfaced at a compounding rate over the last 2 years. Counsellors are here for those ‘tough spots’. It might be time to seize the opportunity to call for assistance in your relationship. Did you know that new ‘ways of perceiving’ your partner can be learned in counselling?

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am able to offer treatment services to a range of individuals across the life spectrum. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals who are curious about their experiences and want to deepen their understanding about themselves, their relationships, and the world they live in. I work holistically and incorporate evidence-based practice with experiential expressive therapies that treat the entire person (including the mind-body connection).
