Life can feel heavy at times, full of change, pressure, or uncertainty. Emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, and disconnection can make it hard to cope or feel like yourself. Whether navigating childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, there’s often a deep desire for clarity, confidence, and a sense of purpose. Many of my clients are seeking meaningful connection, emotional balance, and support that recognises all parts of who they are, not just the problem, but the person behind it. They want to feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow in a way that’s aligned with their values.

I enjoy helping persons aged 20-45 such as young professionals or uni students who may be struggling with anxiety and want to feel more calm, more often. We all experience bouts of stress, worry, and even panic, but for some this has become chronic and is holding them back personally, professionally and/or socially. When we learn how to constructively deal with our mental health challenges, we feel more at ease, more energized, and better able to pursue those things in life that nourish us and bring us joy; enabling us to thrive. As a registered Psychologist and full member of the APS, I have over 15 years experience in this field.

All people of all ages can experience difficult times in their life. These may have been caused by an event that has caused distress, issues with family, friendships, relationships, the work place, health issues and countless other situations. Sometimes events have happened long ago and continue to trouble us and impact our life, or the situation may be more recent. It can be difficult to share what is happening. Often we don't want to burden or worry those who care for us; or we may feel uncomfortable talking to people we know. Counselling provides support toward finding resolutions and living life in the best way possible.

I use an active approach to Counselling which I think can benefit people who are shy or nervous about Counselling as I come to you. Lets meet where you feel comfortable. Walking makes your body feel good, you receive natural endorphins and you are not looking across at each other but walking side by side. Struggling with Behavioural Issues, ADHD, ASD? How do we expect them to sit quietly in a chair and talk about their feelings and learn coping strategies? Lets make it easier and take as many barriers to accessing support as we can.

I offer in-person and online therapy with flexible hours.
You’ve always been the one who holds it all together: for your children, your partner, your family. Now you’re quietly falling apart. Perhaps you’re coping with the pain of estrangement, the aftermath of a controlling or emotionally abusive relationship, or the exhaustion of trying to keep everyone else afloat while ignoring your own needs. On the outside, you seem capable; inside, you feel anxious, alone, or disconnected. The old strategies like perfectionism, people-pleasing and staying silent aren’t working anymore.
