I provide trauma-informed, neuroaffirming counselling for individuals experiencing C/PTSD, PTSD, ADHD/AuDHD, anxiety, depression, stress, and related challenges. When past trauma is unresolved, it can impact every part of life—leaving us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and stuck in survival mode. A nervous system response. With over 20 years of experience, I support clients to process trauma safely and effectively. I use somatic-based therapies, EMDR (I am EMDRAA accredited), DNMS, Ego State Therapy, Deep Brain Reorienting, and other integrative approaches tailored to each person’s needs.
I provide neuroaffirming counselling for ADHD and AuDHD clients, grounded in lived experience and a deep understanding of neurodivergence. I provide support to assist neurodivergent burnout with personalised strategies that assist recovery, instead of pre-burnout/burnout. My goal is to help build confidence, capacity, and tools to manage everyday challenges
Reclaim your wellbeing, and feel more present and in control of your life. Medicare rebates and NDIS funding available

I work with clients who have PTSD symptoms such as shame, depression, stress and anxiety. We develop a comprehensive treatment plan, designed to address trauma symptoms in a safe therapeutic setting. I interweave trauma informed therapies to ensure clients see a gradual and often profound reduction of symptoms within the first month of therapy and long term improvement of symptoms.

As a trauma informed therapist I assess based upon the impact that life experiences have upon the nervous system, assessing whereabouts a person sits within their window of tolerance and I base all therapeutic intervention upon assisting clients to maintain social engagement which is the "feeling safe" part of the nervous system. I interweave different interventions o suit clients individual needs
