Throughout my life I have accomplished a varied and comprehensive list of qualifications that have combined to form a potent combination of possibilities to support people’s wellbeing and vitality, within my community and beyond. These experiences incorporate my professional careers in teaching, environmental management, my community service roles, as a Relationships Educator and Individual, Couples and Family Counsellor as well as my ongoing spiritual journey.
I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, families, that is all relationships to thrive and live a life filled with happiness and the resilience to weather the inevitable rough patches and stressors that are part of living this life.
I utilise a diverse range of theories based in the humanistic and systemic schools. These schools are client and relationally focused where you are viewed as being the expert in your life. My role as a counsellor is to walk along beside you supporting you to uncover your own truths and understandings about your inner world and your relationships.
I have a broad range of experience and can support you in the following areas:
Trauma and abuse,
Domestic and family violence,
Anxiety,
Depression,
Stress,
Anger,
Grief and loss,
Those impacted by suicide,
Intimate or family relationship issues
Life challenges/events such as separation/divorce, job loss
Self esteem/self worth.
I would love to welcome you into my practice. My aim is to create a safe, trusting and non-judgmental, empathetic space where you can deeply explore your inner world and connections with others.
I am a registered counsellor with PACFA and a member of Maitland & Hunter Valley Mental Health Practitioners Network. I strongly believe in the need for ongoing professional development and supervision to ensure that I am using the most up to date tools and providing the best possible care for you, your partner’s or family’s healing journey.
