I worked with young people and adults in refugee, domestic violence, mental health, homelessness, and drug and alcohol services.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, talked over or like you have to fight to be taken seriously. That stops here. At Chronically Heard Counselling, I work with people who are tired of carrying things on their own, especially those living with chronic illness, or struggling with drug and alcohol issues. I also support clients navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is shaped by training, lived experience, and 15 years working in community services and youth work. I’ve supported people through complex, situations, and I bring that same practical, grounded perspective into therapy.

From the outside it may look like you’re coping, yet inside you feel overwhelmed, exhausted or disconnected from yourself. Many women come to see me carrying trauma, burnout, grief or the quiet weight of holding everything together for too long. You are not broken. In our work together we create a calm, respectful space to slow down, untangle what’s been weighing on you and reconnect with your inner fire so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence and self-trust.

The first step is often the hardest... Find clarity in what you want, be able to express yourself, feel motivated, and explore what positive relationships look like. Have fears, hesitations, confusion and the past been holding you back from contentment in life, career or relationships? Be in the present moment and become more aware of your thoughts. This provides immense relief from fear-based thoughts and gives you clarity, as the mental clutter shifts. This is helpful for all areas of life - career, purpose, relationships, stress, anxiety and so on. Available in ANY location Australia wide via video call.
