With over 20 years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy, I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered. My approach is deeply rooted in building trust and working collaboratively to find solutions that resonate with each individual.

I specialise in a narrative therapy approach, helping clients explore their experiences and identify thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that may be hindering them. My practice is inclusive of a wide range of issues including trauma, anger, guilt, shame, anxiety, procrastination, emotional dysregulation, addiction, and grief and loss.

In my work, I integrate several evidence-based therapies to support clients in developing new skills and strategies for overcoming challenges. These include:

• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)

I have honed these skills through a comprehensive education and extensive professional development, including certifications in Psychological First Aid, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Schema Focused Therapy, and EMDR. My training also includes specialised knowledge in trauma-informed care, addiction recovery, and crisis management.

My progression as a counsellor has evolved in several therapeutic settings, both residential and community based and in government and non-government agencies.

I am passionate about helping individuals achieve their personal goals and live more present, fulfilling lives. Whether you are navigating past trauma, relationship difficulties, coping with depression or anxiety, or seeking to overcome addictive patterns of behaviour, my goal is to support you in finding a path forward that is meaningful and sustainable.
