I work with adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, health-related challenges, relationship difficulties or uncertainty, or who have questions relating to intimacy and sexual health. Many people I see are wanting to make sense of what has been happening and find a way of moving forward that feels right for them.

My ideal clients are adults carrying the impact of trauma, narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships, or ongoing anxiety and relational or workplace stress. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or triggered by patterns you can’t quite shift alone. I help people make sense of what’s happening, strengthen boundaries, regulate emotions, and find a sense of self. This means a better daily life and healthier relationships I love working with other people who help people: health professionals, teachers, parents, and first responders too.

Counselling done differently! It's important to me to take the 'clinical' aspect out of counselling, and I strive to provide a safe, non-judgement space to support my clients. You'll be welcomed into an understanding space that not only accepts but celebrates who you are, while building your unique strengths and resilience. 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. I believe my job is to facilitate your own innate ability to grow and evolve.

I have been working in the fields of family therapy and stress-related disorders and conditions for more than twenty-two years, since being an army chaplain both in the South African and Australian Defence Forces during times of military conflict (I served for extensive periods on the front lines of battle and experienced the horrors of traumatic incidents, death, loss, brokenness, anger and excessive aggression behind retaliation on the front line). Touched by the distress of those around me, I realised that we have to be proactive and therefore intentionally develop sustainable resilience before facing extreme distress!

Palm Beach, QLD 4221
You’ve been carrying too much for too long. Anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma, or the quiet ache of disconnection can leave your nervous system braced and your heart exhausted, especially if you’re sensitive, neurodivergent, or the one who always “holds it together.” Loving Yourself To Health is a space of deep safety and sacred return, blending science, spirit, and steady support so your nervous system can exhale and your soul can remember.

I help with individuals and couples experiencing relationship and emotional difficulties that feel hard to change on their own. Many couples come feeling stuck in repeated conflict, emotional distance, or like they’ve become “housemates” rather than partners. Others feel anxious, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns in relationships and life that keep repeating. Some are navigating deeper challenges such as betrayal, broken trust, or long-term disconnection. I help you understand these patterns and what sits beneath them, so you can begin to respond differently and move toward more connection, clarity, and stability.

Buderim, QLD 4556
The shock of a frightening medical diagnosis, significant loss, or other traumatic event in our lives can severely overwhelm our nervous system leaving us feeling fearful, anxious, panicky, unable to relax or sleep, emotional and very reactive to everyone around us.
I specialise in building a trusting, respectful, therapeutic relationship in which you can feel safe to share your story and feel seen, heard and validated. Most importantly, I provide psycho-education about this normal response of the body/brain to stress and teach you simple ways to reduce that psychological distress through mindfulness-based techniques.

Hello, I work with clients who are navigating trauma, abuse, PTSD, relationship issues, sexual assault, stress and anxiety, depression, chronic illness, injury, grief and loss, workplace issues and life changes.

I support adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and life transitions. My clients often describe feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward. They’re seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, greater self-compassion, and the tools to create meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, blending evidence-based treatment with a deep respect for each person's unique story. I work with clients who are ready to move forward, at their own pace, toward a life that feels more grounded and authentic.

I am very privileged to work with clients who are interested in their self growth and development. Most of the time when people come to see a psychologist they are wanting to have some change in their life and they need the space to talk through their issues. I love providing a safe, confidential place for people to explore the difficulties and life experiences that have been challenging for them.
