Counselling in Western District, VIC

I provide individual treatment to adults via video for a range of concerns. I work with concerns around mood and anger, anxiousness, coping, trauma, intrusive or unpleasant thoughts and acting on these, personality and identity concerns, and relationship concerns, among other areas.

I am a compassionate, empathic and intuitive counsellor who is experienced in supporting adolescents, adults and couples. I am registered with the Australian Counselling Association and support clients to overcome a wide range of issues and significant life challenges. My particular interest is in promoting self-awareness and strong interpersonal relationships to help clients achieve their full potential so that they can thrive in all facets of their lives. True self-awareness can lead to positive self-development that aligns with your values and life purpose. Let me help you to achieve your potential.

Something isn’t quite right. It may be that you can’t stop yourself from worrying. Or you are compulsively avoiding things (places, people, certain situations). Perhaps you find yourself flying into a sudden, uncontrollable, panic. It may be that you are feeling down: you can’t shake the sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness in your life. You may be feeling worthless and guilty too. It could be your relationships that aren’t working (partner, friends, family, boss, or colleagues). Perhaps past experiences are haunting you so that you lose your connection to the present and the people in it. Perhaps it's all of the above.

If you suffer from trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, sleep issues, relationship issues, eating disorders, low self-esteem, or bereavement, please email me for a free 10-minute consultation. I foster a non-judgmental and safe therapeutic environment where clients are comfortable discussing difficult topics, and can feel supported. I endeavor to assist clients in accessing their own agency and internal resources, leading to greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of empowerment.
