At some point, almost everyone experiences the desire for personal growth, and this is especially true during times of adversity, significant life transitions, or emotional struggles. While we generally navigate life and stress well, it’s often during challenging moments that our deeper emotional responses and coping mechanisms reveal unresolved wounds, cognitive conflicts, or ingrained patterns of behaviour that may no longer serve us. These experiences can act as a catalyst for self-discovery and transformation, offering an opportunity to confront and overcome what holds us back.

I am available by Zoom for clients Australia wide and can arrange face to face appointments for clients in Melbourne and surrounding areas.
Discovering cheating, affairs, porn use, sex addiction, secret online or app activity, or any other deceptive sexual behaviour in your relationship, especially when it is followed by lies, gaslighting, minimisation or defensiveness, is the cause of betrayal trauma. I am an APSATS-certified counsellor specialising in supporting women navigating this painful and devastating experience. I offer a safe space to understand what has happened, along with tools and resources to help you navigate the turmoil of discovering your reality because the life you thought you were living did not exist.

Port Melbourne, VIC 3207
I’m a down-to-earth counsellor who believes that real change starts with feeling truly heard. People come to me when life feels messy — whether they’re facing relationship challenges, work stress, or big decisions that feel too heavy to carry alone. My approach is grounded, practical, and centred on trust. I listen without judgement, help people make sense of what’s happening, and offer clear, thoughtful guidance when it’s needed. I don’t do jargon or quick fixes — just honest conversations that help you get unstuck and move forward with more clarity and confidence.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel like there are always challenges that stop you from a balanced life? Or maybe you are struggling with the same patterns and trauma that just won't go away? Modern life can be so complicated, there is so much happening in the world it can be hard to find our own place in it. People are struggling in this global climate. Counselling can help you to connect to yourself. So often we think about connection to others, but how can we do that when we feel a sense of unrest and disconnection to our true self?
