I specialise in Neurodiversity affirming therapy as well as I have an interest in the area of Sex therapy and this has continued to grow as it has become apparent to me that separating sex therapy from relationship and individual counselling is difficult.
Medicare Approved! I am a Neurodivergent person who combines my lived experience with my tertiary education to be able to offer you the right support. I am passionate about relationship counselling - whether you are single and looking for love, healing from a prior relationship, going through a divorce/separation or even trying to embrace self-love and focus on the most important relationship of them all with yourself. I have the belief that connections to other people are what underpin our society but, sadly, so many people are struggling to connect with each other causing a lot of anxiety, & depression and loneliness.

At foundations and flow building client counsellor relationship is very important. Developing trust and providing a calm safe space for client's, helps support the process of getting to the core issue in the person life. This can then lead to the unfolding of self awareness and development also allowing the space to work together to building a strong foundation with the client where we can support a deeper connection to self and the empowerment to engage with life confidently. Postnatal counselling is an area I am passionate in supporting working with couples to support in what can be a tricky time of adjustment.

Life can be a series of turns and twists and that can make you experience feeling overwhelmed, create relationship struggles, incite anxiety, or mood issues.
Not everyone needs a psychological diagnosis. Do you need someone to talk to? Are you finding life a struggle, feel anxious or overwhelmed? Has something specific happened that is preventing you from moving forward; the end of a relationship, loss of a job, a bereavement? Do you desire something to change, however, don't know specifically what it is or where to start? Perhaps things don't feel quite right and you need guidance with discovering any underlying issues you may not be aware of? As a trained counsellor, I offer a non-judgemental space to listen and help you sift through what may be troubling you.

Hello, I work with clients who experience trauma, abuse, PTSD, relationship issues, stress and anxiety, depression, chronic illness, injury, grief and loss, workplace issues and life changes. I’m particularly passionate about working with trauma survivors and providing holistic supports. I honour the uniqueness of every survivor’s own story. I have a warm, gentle and authentic approach. Everyone deserves to feel heard and understood. Nurturing self compassion is often helpful. Clients I work with often highly value empathy, choice, compassion, empowerment - and feeling safe in the counselling space to work together collaboratively.

FACT IS: "It's not a matter of IF life will throw obstacles and hurdles at you... it's WHEN." For 20 years I have been counselling people from all walks of life (CEOs, surgeons and psychologists through to miners, call centre staff, managers and cleaners). And what I've noticed is how many people struggle with their relationships - that could be the relationship with their partner, their child, their parents, their co-workers, their mates or the biggest and most important relationship of them all... THEMSELVES! Now, they don't always know it's their relationship at first, because it might look like stress, conflict, anxiety, etc.

I am a Trauma and Relationship Specialist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).
Life can be hard at times, and when we meet the messy moments it can feel isolating, overwhelming, and hopeless. We are human, after all. It makes sense that we may find ourselves stuck at times - stuck in our feelings, thoughts, and behaviours and it can be tough to shift things in the right direction, especially if we are doing it on our own. With honesty and compassion, therapy is a place to explore what you're navigating and create sustainable change that supports your healing and growth. I support women who are wanting to shift out of survival mode so they can feel grounded, confident, and free.

I work in a trauma-informed and strengths-based manner, and believe significant change can come about within the holding space of a safe therapeutic relationship.
I am passionate about helping you to find freedom, authenticity and connection, through resolving patterns that may be limiting you. The therapeutic process can help you to make sense of, adapt to, and heal from difficult life experiences. Therapy can also be a reflective space to get clearer on your values and directions in life; to connect with your innermost wishes for your future and bring these into being. I have great respect for the courage involved in seeking support and aim to provide a non-judgemental space where you can safely explore what's on your mind.

I work mainly with women who for whatever reason, are finding life a bit of a struggle. I do also work with men to help them understand the women in their lives. I am also trained in couple counselling. Some of the most common reasons come to see me include relationship issues, mothering, work/life balance problems, anxiety, depression, grief/loss to name but a few. Commonly we get bogged down in how we “should” be doing things, rather than what suits us and our lives. Women tend to put themselves at the back of the queue, and in times of stress, our self care tends to suffer, leading to overwhelm. Let me help!

My goal is to assist my clients to work through their thoughts and emotions to gain clarity as they move forward to their preferred future.

It is my honour to empower couples and individuals experience a better connection and relationship satisfaction.
Healthy relationships are an integral part of living a fulfilled life. When we face life’s challenges, however, we may resort to unhealthy ways of dealing with it like belittling each other or not validating a partner’s emotions (to name a few). Couples counselling is an extremely useful tool for repairing and strengthening your relationship. As your couples/sex therapist, I can help with: Reconnecting to create security and safety in the relationship; Rebuilding trust and safety after an affair/infidelity; Communication issues; Couple goals/vision; Sex and intimacy issues; Parenting issues; Co-parenting; Separation and transition.

We can all be challenged from time to time regulating our emotional state. It can be a struggle to articulate whats going on for us and thats where it help's to talk and explore whats going on.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
