As the founder of Goldfish Counselling, I am a dedicated and registered counsellor specialising in supporting neurodivergent children, individuals, and families. With a deep passion for fostering growth and self-discovery, I provide personalised and compassionate counselling services, including early childhood counselling, individual counselling, and parent coaching/support. My approach is informed by a strengths-based, neuro-affirming philosophy and the principles of Dr Ross Greene's Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model.
Currently pursuing postgraduate studies in autism, my commitment to the neurodivergent community is both professional and personal, as I am also a neurodivergent individual and parent. With a wealth of experience and a genuine desire to make a positive impact, I strive to create a supportive and understanding environment for every client. My services are available in-person at my Early Childhood Clinic and via telehealth, ensuring flexible and accessible support.
