About Me
I work with people experiencing a wide range of concerns, offering a warm and welcoming space to talk through life’s challenges and find a way forward.I also have a particular interest in supporting individuals and families living with chronic or terminal illness, and I understand the emotional impact these experiences can have on everyone involved.
As a Counselling Psychologist, I bring clinical experience, compassion, and a holistic understanding of health and wellbeing to my work. I hold a Master’s Degree in Psychology (Counselling), am a member of the College of Counselling Psychologists and the Australian Psychological Society, and also have qualifications in nursing and midwifery.
How I will work with you
I support individuals and couples to strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build deeper, more meaningful relationships. My approach is warm, practical, and insight-oriented, helping clients explore the values and core beliefs that shape how they relate to themselves and each other.I tailor therapy to your individual needs and draw on evidence-based practice, supported by strong clinical training and a holistic view of health and wellbeing.
