Senior leaders, busy professionals and creative entrepreneurs need to manage an unprecedented range of competing demands across their personal and professional lives. The pressure can be relentless, and career success can come at a high cost. Stress can have serious impacts on mental health, family relationships and physical well-being. Travel and work schedules can undermine marriages/partnerships and parenting. It makes sense to invest in your resilience, wellbeing and self care because resilient leaders achieve more.

People sometimes struggle to understand their emotions and behaviour - maybe they get angry too often, or become upset over "silly" things. Some others are keen to find the right mental health support, due to current or historical problems. I always ask clients: "What do you want to be different in your life when our work is done?" The client's answer may be specific or vague, surprising or long-known to them. Either way, I can help you answer those and many other questions - in a safe space where you can disclose painful, embarrassing or distressing thoughts and memories, a place where respect and therapeutic relief is at hand.

I am super passionate about my work as a Counsellor after many years of working in the corporate world left me searching for a more fulfilling and meaningful career . I find that so many of my clients echo this search – in addition to wanting to address their day-to-day life struggles – they are searching for something more. And this is where I love to be, fully attentive, empathising with my clients but most of all working alongside them to explore ways of improving all aspects of their lives, be that work, relationships, childhood attachment wounds or trauma.

I am a trusted and professional Counsellor with a Masters in Counselling (Monash University) and a Graduate Diploma in Counselling (Australian College of Applied Psychology) . I am trained in Mental Health First Aid (Mental Health First Aid Australia) and also work part time as a School Counsellor. My top priority is to establish respectful relationships with my clients.

I recognise that it takes real strength to seek support and I will always aim to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space as we work together towards your goals. Through my lived experiences, I've learnt to​ really appreciate that we're all human at the end of the day and I strongly believe that everybody deserves to be heard, feel safe to pursue what is right for them, and to know that they are not alone. I'll always work with you and be in your corner with empathy, respect, and understanding.

Anxiety, stress, persistent negative thoughts and feelings of not being enough, depression, wanting to enter into a relationship, wanting to change direction in your career , can all be areas we work through together. Through the therapeutic relationship, we work to understand and experience the blocks that prevent you from achieving goals. We also work together to recognize your unique qualities and gifts. Counselling and body psychotherapy compliment the overall experience of connecting mind and body. By becoming,"embodied ", life can be experienced more fully. All feelings can be tolerated and integrated in a grounded way

Are you experiencing low mood, finding it hard to stop worrying and feeling dissatisfied with the quality of your relationships or unhappy with your personal or working life? With the busyness of our lives and the pressures and demands we all face daily, our emotional wellbeing is an area which can be neglected. However, there comes a time when we know that it is time to stop and take some action to turn our life around. Counselling with me can help you with the skills and strategies you need to make changes and choices which will allow you to find the satisfaction you seek in the key areas of your life.

Supporting adolescents, young adults and adults when they're experiencing stress, anxiety, depression and other related issues, causes can be triggered by relationship issues, school and workplace bullying, lack of self-identity confidence, attachment challenges, as well as worries about future direction, self-doubt, lack of self-esteem, motivation and especially more recently lockdown impacts due to COVID.
