  Profile

Navigating a diagnosis of Dementia, Parkinson’s, or a degenerative disease is an overwhelming journey, not just for the patient, but for the entire family. Whether you are a family member adjusting to a new reality or a frontline healthcare worker facing the daily weight of care, you don't have to carry that burden alone. As an ACA Level 2 Registered Clinical Counsellor with over 8 years of experience, I specialise in providing compassionate, research-informed support for those impacted by neurological disorders and chronic health conditions. My background includes 8+ years as a Diversional Therapist in Aged Care and 5+ years working within the NDIS framework, giving me a deep, practical understanding of the complex challenges my clients face every day.

I primarily work with:

- Families & Carers: Navigating the emotional toll of Dementia, Parkinson’s, and life transitions.

- Healthcare Professionals: Supporting nurses and frontline staff to overcome burnout, anxiety, and the inevitable stress of the Aged Care and Disability sectors.

- Individuals Facing Chronic Illness: Providing tools for emotional regulation and resilience during degenerative disease progression.

Expertise Informed by Research:

My practice is grounded in clinical experience and continuous professional development, including specialised training through the University of Tasmania in:

- Understanding and Preventing Dementia

- Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury - Parkinson’s Disease (MOOC 2025)

The Bilingual Advantage: Γνωρίζω ότι η επικοινωνία είναι το κλειδί για τη θεραπεία. Προσφέρω τις υπηρεσίες μου τόσο στα Ελληνικά όσο και στα Αγγλικά, διασφαλίζοντας ότι οι πελάτες μου αισθάνονται πλήρως κατανοητοί στην μητρική τους γλώσσα.

Flexible Service Delivery: I understand that time and mobility are often limited for carers and seniors.

I offer:

- Telehealth/Online Consultations (Australia-wide).

- In-Home Visits (Brisbane area) to ensure support is accessible where you are most comfortable. Ready to find the support you need?
