Counselling in Glenroy, VIC

I'm a youth and adult complex trauma informed counsellor. I practice with a person-centred focus, understanding that every individuals experience is unique and their path to self-actualisation lies in their own self-determination. I aim to provide a safe space to empower clients to feel able to address their therapeutic goals, emotional distress, and unpack the issues impacting their lives. I practice with a strong focus on psycho-education, in hopes to give clients the tools to deepen their understanding of themselves so that they can take control of their lives and actualise.

I provide specialised counselling support to people with diverse experiences, including neurodivergence, gender, race, sexuality, disability, and fatness. My work centres anti-oppressive practices and values. I prioritise lived experience values and draw on my own journey and the journeys of others in my work.

I work with clients across the life span and from all walks of life. People come to me because they feel stuck, depressed, alienated, conflicted, lost, unfulfilled or curious. They yearn for a confidential, compassionate and inspiring therapeutic space where they can feel safe enough to encounter different aspects of themselves and their life circumstances with more depth, honesty, dignity and clarity. They hope to cultivate their self-understanding and to nurture their heart in order to find more ease and a deeper sense of belonging with themselves, their loved ones and the wider world; so as to live a life of joy and connection.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the community sector.

I've worked with people of all genders, sexualities, cultures and abilities. Whilst working on Vancouver Island, I ran addictions support groups made up of an assortment of individuals.

Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted or struggling with motivation? Do you have sensitivities that leave you feeling judged by others, or misunderstood? Do you experience stuck patterns of behaviour that effect your ability to feel satisfaction in life and in relationships? Do you feel pressure to conform to societal norms and expectations, which leaves you feeling "othered" and isolated? I see you! You are not alone and you don't have to work this out by yourself. Together we can explore your lived experience and the many ways it impacts your sense of self, worthiness and belonging.

I am a warm, gentle, curious and collaborative integrative therapist. I support individuals who are navigating and struggling with a range of life challenges and difficulties; depression, anxiety, stress, relational issues, identity & sexuality issues, spiritual and religious issues, self-esteem, and childhood trauma, etc. I believe that we all have the capacity to live a fulfilling life, and our past traumas do not define us. We have the potential to create a life full of joy and play. It begins by getting out of our own way and truly believing in ourselves. It begins with a deep enquiry of what makes your soul feel alive.
