Like many counsellors I know, it was my own struggles that led me to this work. With lived experience of severe mental illness early in life, I was inspired by the skilled practitioners who helped me through that time.

My counselling approach is gentle, respectful of all identities, and trauma-informed. I draw on my training and all my life experience to offer compassionate, wholistic support.

I have Level 2 registration with the Australian Counselling Association, which means I am committed to ethical practice and ongoing professional development.
