I believe that our most important relationships hold us through life, and that counselling can help people to understand, heal and deepen their relationships. I work with clients to address goals such as improving communication, and managing stress, struggles and conflict. I use a mix of integrative, systemic and emotion-focused techniques. I work with people navigating life transitions including parenting, separation and loss, as well those negotiating differences relating to sexuality and neurodiversity. I also have experience in working with relationships affected by infidelity, drug and alcohol use, and conflict.
I am warm and non-judgemental and work with people across diverse relationships and family structures. Through study, work and life experience, I understand the importance of safety, openness and confidentiality in the counselling space. Sessions may be topic-focused single sessions, change-oriented sessions over weeks or months, or longer-term therapy.
I hold a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, a Masters in Couple Counselling and completed Relationships Australia's Specialist Course in Integrative Couple Therapy. I work with individuals, couples and other relationships. I am a counsellor, not a psychologist, and do not undertake diagnosis or assessments but work with people making sense of these.

The first session is usually a longer 'intake' session and we explore what you are seeking from therapy. I often take a systemic approach - I want to understand who you are, what has made you 'you', and how you are showing up in your life and relationships. Depending on the clients, I may also provide activities (reading, videos, practice changes, journalling) between sessions.
