Everybody faces challenges at different stages of life. Some greater than others. I am always amazed at the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive. My aim is to help the client to focus on their strengths (rather than their weaknesses). Furthermore to capitalise on their strengths and to realise their full potential. In times of crisis people tend to forget that they have actually overcome so much in life already and given the support they need, they will be able continue to do so. My motto is: Never Give Up. Don’t underestimate yourself. There is always a Plan B!

Seeking therapy can feel daunting as it asks us to pause, turn inward, and gently explore parts of ourselves that may feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable. This process, although overwhelming, can also be deeply healing and transformative. I offer both individual and couples therapy, I work with adolescents and adults. I support individuals experiencing a range of mental health disorders (depression, anxiety, PTSD) as well as those who may not have a diagnosed mental health condition but are navigating challenging life circumstances or seeking personal growth and clarity.

My approach is warm, non-judgmental and person-centred. I will offer you emotional support alongside psycho-education about mental wellbeing, whatever your circumstances or stage of life.

As a Dance Movement Psychotherapist, my modality is rooted in embodiment. While words are always welcome, we often shift toward the body as a primary language — trusting movement, sensation, and felt experience as meaningful forms of expression. In moving, we access layers of experience that may not yet be available through words alone.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when life feels uncertain - especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and fully themselves without judgment. I am a Specialist Wellness Counsellor registered with ASCHP, with an Honours Degree in Counselling Psychology (cum laude), and training in CBT and DBT. I work with individuals navigating trauma, addiction, abuse, depression, grief, stress, and emotional overwhelm.

I believe that every child can learn and should have every opportunity to learn. These opportunities should not just be what our education system offers. Children learn in different ways and I see it as part of my expertise to find ways to help our children learn and develop. I love working with children of all ages. I feel that teens and young adults are often misunderstood and I want to be there for them. We need to find the hope and light within each person and sometimes, we even need to show them what they have within themselves.

Intervention Counsellors
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behaviour and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behaviour has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.

How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.

What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.

Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
