My counselling services and approach are trauma-informed, solution-focused and explore what is in your control to make positive changes in your life. I support you as we move through your immediate needs and aspirations to map out practical strategies to decrease stress and increase resilience.

I am a qualified Social Worker, a member of the AASW with over ten years of experience working in mental health and welfare coaching, program design and interventions.

We can all experience difficult times or health challenges but what do we do when our coping mechanisms aren’t working? If you feel like the severity and duration of stress symptoms are impacting your ability to manage your day to day life and relationships then it may be time to engage in counselling.

It’s important to me that we have a workable therapeutic connection, so please don’t hesitate to call so we can explore if I’m a good fit in your personal growth journey.

Sessions are available Thursday to Saturday between 10am – 6pm.
