Philosophy & Vision
As a Counsellor and Psychotherapist I provide a compassionate and authentic space to explore what has brought you here today. Whether you are looking for short term counselling or wanting to delve into your experiences in more depth, therapy can support you to develop insight, awareness and bring about change.
Background
I hold a Bachelor of Counselling (BCouns), a Graduate Diploma in Social Care (GradDip) and I am currently completing a Masters in Social Work Qualifying (MSWQ). I have worked with clients across the lifespan with numerous presenting issues in both private and non-government organisations for over a decade. I have experience in areas of mental health, addiction, trauma, situational crisis, life transitions, and suicide prevention.
Services
I see people who experience situational issues but also for more ongoing challenges where they have noticed repeated patterns occurring in their life. This can be concerns relating to depression, stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief or loss, identity, self-esteem, life transition, substance use or addiction, work pressure or burnout, child/adulthood trauma or simply to connect with a therapist to maintain mental health. I also work with clients who experience situational or ongoing suicidal thoughts.
At a foundation level, I work from a humanistic, person-centred, and relational framework.
I am an integrative therapist that draws on a diverse range of modalities and approaches depending on the individual person.
