Hi. I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, with more than eight years’ experience in helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, gender issues, identity expression, sexual preferences, and issues they face in relationship and social contexts. I have a lived experience with trans-identity realisation, and have worked to support diversity expression and acceptance of difference in its many forms within our society. My main concern is to provide a safe and caring space for the client where they feel valued and confident to share their concerns.
The practice is situated in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, a short drive from the Adelaide CBD. It is a peaceful setting where sessions may be held in the ‘Wellness Garden’, or indoors with informal comfort. I also offer the mindful 'forest bathing'. Be who you want to be, dress as you wish, and enjoy validation, privacy and confidentiality.
I am non-judgemental and I focus on building an empathic relationship. I see my role as a guide to walk with you toward a better future, where you are acknowledged and validated in your life-journey. If you wish to talk about your concerns, please call me to organise a free phone-consultation at a time that suits you.

I use Integrative Therapy in my practice, by selecting the most appropriate elements of a variety of modalities (e.g. CBT, Narrative, ACT) . During the first session we will explore the main issues and background environment, get to know each other, and identify the main goals of therapy. We build a toolbox of practical behaviours that will help make an immediate difference to the central problem
