I am a Master qualified counsellor with 15 years experience providing professional support to adolescents, adults, couples and families. I am also a registered supervisor and work with individuals and groups in private and organisational settings.

I adopt a primarily strengths based approach allowing you to control and direct the process of change. I offer face to face sessions from my office in Buderim and also offer telephone or online sessions for those who do not live locally.

I am trained and experienced in:

• Solution Focused Brief Therapy – A focus on solutions, rather than on problems
• Narrative Therapy – A focus on re – authoring unhelpful stories to create new and preferred stories
• Motivational Interviewing – A focus on exploring and  resolving ambivalence towards change
• Experiential therapy – A focus on identifying and addressing hidden or subconscious issues through hands-on activities
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – A focus on challenging unhelpful thinking in order to create change
• Client Centered therapy – A focus on client directed goals through congruent and empathic listening and questions
• Emotionally Focussed Therapy – A focus on patterns in relationships and the creation of more secure bonds

In addition to my private practice I have a 20 year association as a sessional lecturer and supervisor with the University of the Sunshine Coast
