Counselling became central to my career after working in the community sector, health and government departments in case work for many years.
I have provided bushfire and drought counselling with many who have been affected by bushfires in South East NSW.Advoacy and provided assistance with accessing services.
Having many years experience doing community case work, I can readily assist or guide those who may have complex health or complex situations that require contact and liaison with other services.
The approaches I use are focusing on what is important to my clients and what their concerns are and I am solutions focues. Issues I support can vary from relationship or work, matters, income or debt management through to personal issues, life skills or goals, communication and more.
With 6 years employment at Anglicare as a Gambling Help Counsellor I also have the skills and experience to assist in problem gambling for people and their families or significant others.
Criss counselling and suicide prevention and support for those who have lost someone to suicide or other loss and grief are also areas I have experience with.
Originally born in Melbourne and living and working in both cities and regional New South Wales I have a breadth of experience. I hold an enthusiastic positive approach for life.

Exploring options and finding solutions is one of my best traits. I was once described as "having the answers to problems no one has helped with before".
