I'm a counsellor specialising in trauma, loss, and change, based in Melbourne and available online, Australia-wide. I work with adults during challenging times, offering a supportive space to regain stability, strengthen day to day functioning, and rebuild a sense of direction and identity.
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw flexibly on evidence-based therapies combining person-centred, relational, cognitive behavioural, narrative and mindfulness based approaches. Every person is different. In our early sessions, we’ll develop a plan that reflects your background, goals, and the approach that feels right for you.
You’re welcome to book a free 15-minute conversation, so we can talk about what you’re looking for and see whether my approach feels comfortable. From there, we’ll organise your first session and set up a plan together.
