Hello. Firstly, you have my utmost respect for reaching out for help. Starting counselling is no small thing, and if you read through my profile and are unsure whether I'm the right person for you, please consider getting in touch to arrange a brief telephone conversation to see if we’re a good fit. My counselling practice is informed by my professional and personal experience that within everyone one of us, lies the capacity for self-awareness, growth, and healing. We all need life-affirming support from time to time, and I aim to offer clients clarity and hope, regardless of their background or previous life experiences.
In our sessions together, we'll discuss your concerns at a pace that feels right for you, gently uncovering any self-limiting beliefs and thoughts that may no longer serve you. Some sessions might focus on practical strategies and decision-making, while others may explore deeper reflections on the beliefs and experiences that have shaped your story so far.
I'm a professional, empathetic, and non-judgemental counsellor. My intention in the work we do together is to hold a space that helps you feel heard, more connected to yourself and others, and able to live a joyous, purpose-filled life. If you find yourself in a time of crisis please call Lifeline on 13 11 14. Help is always available.
