I hold an Honours degree in Psychology with over 30 years' experience in, counselling, coaching, and mine site support.
My ideal clients are people who feel stuck, unsettled, or weighed down by patterns they do not fully understand, often linked to childhood wounds, trauma, or shame. They may function well on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, reactivity, relationship difficulties, or a lack of inner authority. They want clarity, emotional steadiness, and lasting change, not just coping strategies. Above all, they are seeking a safe, trustworthy space to speak honestly and be understood without judgement.

I'll be coaching and supporting you with my experience and knowledge, but you decide on where you want to go and the pace of our time together.
You've done the work. You can name your patterns, explain where they came from, and describe exactly what they cost you. That understanding is real. It just hasn't changed how you feel, and that gap — between knowing and feeling — is where most talk therapy stops. I'm a psychotherapist with a Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling from Western Sydney University and membership with the Australian Counselling Association. I work with high-functioning women who are not new to therapy and are still stuck somewhere insight doesn't reach.

Through counselling, you’ll build confidence, healthy boundaries and emotional resilience—so you can feel clear, grounded and aligned with your life.
I work with women and men who feel unsure of their direction, caught in self-doubt, self-sabotage or ongoing inner conflict. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed or unworthy at times, navigating emotional stress and questioning whether you’re allowed to want more from your life. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure this out.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
