A Personal & Professional Journey into Healing
My journey into counselling began with my own struggles with mental health. For over 20 years, I lived with anxiety, feeling trapped in a cycle I couldn’t break. Everything changed when I found a therapist and a way of working that helped me not just manage but truly understand and overcome my challenges.
That experience was life-changing—it showed me what’s possible and ignited my passion to help others navigate their own path to healing.
To turn this passion into something tangible, I pursued formal training in counselling and psychotherapy, beginning with a Diploma of Counselling through AIPC and completing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Online Circle Program. From there, I continued expanding my skills, diving into approaches that align with my belief in addressing the deeper layers of the mind. I am now in my final year of a Bachelor of Counselling, working toward a Diploma of Art Therapy, and I have completed training in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping), adding more creative tools to my practice.
My Approach
I take a person-centred, holistic approach when engaging in sessions with children, adolescents and adults through life's challenges. We work at your pace, integrating different counselling modalities like CBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focussed Therapy to ensure you get the most benefit from our time together. The focus will be on your concerns, while I support and guide you toward achieving your best hopes and goals for attending counselling.
I have a passion for the following modalities and intergrate them into my work:
✔ Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping
✔ Play Therapy
✔ Art Therapy
These methods allow clients to explore their inner world, process emotions, and resolve deep-seated patterns in a way that feels both empowering and deeply personal.
I am a registered Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Member.
Through my work, I strive to create a safe and compassionate space where clients feel supported, heard, and empowered to move toward self-awareness, healing, and growth.
