Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, have a relationship issue, or need someone to talk to, I'm here to help, and treat clients from across Australia and overseas.
My journey into the realm of anxiety and depression counselling was not just a professional choice but a personal calling. Having endured the depths of extreme anxiety and depression myself, I've experienced firsthand the profound impact it can have on one's life and the ripple effects it sends through a family. This personal battle instilled in me a fervent desire to dedicate my life to helping others navigate through their darkest times. My mission is to be a beacon of hope and a source of strength for those who are struggling and to foster a world where no one has to face the journey alone.

I enjoy journeying alongside a person to move towards the life wanted according to their values. Also, I help a person identify their values, so they live a life they envisage. This journey includes exploring barriers stopping a person from living life according to their values. A person’s values create realistic achievable goals to move toward the life a person wants. The bedrock of my practice is respect and empathy for the person. My approach is person-centred incorporating biological, social, psychological, and spiritual areas of a person’s life. It is from this perspective a person sets the agenda creating their own solutions.

My clients are individuals and couples, who struggle to maintain healthy, compassionate, and meaningful relationships with themselves and their loved ones.
I am a registered clinical counsellor. I use Emotion-Focused Therapy as my main mode of practice. EFT is Person Centred/Humanistic. It is based on the Attachment and Identity theory. It also means that in therapy, I prioritise working on emotions. You may have learned to avoid and suppress your feelings, or they may have overwhelmed you. In therapy, I aim to support you in befriending and welcoming your feelings so they become a resource as they are meant to be and not a hindrance.

You might be here because you're looking for relief — from the weight of what happened or went unmet in the past, the pull of old patterns, or a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall.
Together we work towards building emotional resilience — increasing your capacity to adapt to uncertainty and find balance within. Integrating IFS, EFT, somatics, contemplative and mindfulness-based approaches, the body begins to feel like a safe place, you experience more choice and agency, and you come to trust in yourself and your connections with others.
