Self Esteem Counselling in Ballarat Central, VIC

I am a counsellor, sexologist and clinical supervisor with experience working with clients who have been in the same place you are. Just like a plant, you need water, sun and a safe place to grow. I provide the space for you to focus on your stuckness and to safely sit in the uncomfortableness. Trauma, guilt, anxiety and anger can hold you back from living.

My clients often come to counselling feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Some are dealing with trauma, grief, identity concerns, or relationship struggles. Many have tried traditional talk therapy or self-help and still seek lasting change. They want to feel lighter, more grounded, and in control. They’re looking for a safe, respectful space—where they can feel heard without needing to explain everything. Above all, they want healing that feels real, and they’re ready for something that works.

I am an authentic and bubbly French-Australian human who made the decision to become a counsellor after my own lived experiences of mental and physical health struggles. Born in rural France, where none ever talked about mental health, I began my adult life as a high-achieving corporate professional who believed the only approach to life’s problems was to “get on with it” and just find a way to keep going. Until I realised this didn’t actually work effectively or wholeheartedly and discovered that mental health is a real, normal, valid part of being a human. I now walk the talk and value my physical, mental, emotional health.
