My Services

For me, the heart of therapy is building a real, human connection. I like to keep the process authentic and, at times, a little unconventional—because no two people are the same, and neither is the way we work together. I welcome people of all ages and backgrounds, and my role is to offer compassion, understanding, and steady support as we navigate whatever life is throwing your way. I believe in focusing on what’s gone right in your life—your wins, your strengths, and the moments you’ve already overcome—rather than only looking at setbacks. Every experience, whether uplifting or challenging, shapes who you are and can be a stepping stone toward who you want to become. With the right tools, genuine support, and your own determination, I believe you can face life with confidence and grow into the best version of yourself.

Counselling and Psychotherapy

We all go through times when life feels heavy—when events or emotions seem endless, and solutions feel out of reach. Without support or a clear understanding of what’s happening, it’s easy to feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed. The good news is, with the right help, you can start to see things in a new light and find a way forward.

Counselling and psychotherapy provide a safe, confidential space to talk through whatever’s on your mind—whether it’s something short-term or an ongoing challenge. It’s a chance to share your story, feel truly heard, and gain fresh perspectives on your situation. In our work together, I’ll support you to build self-awareness, grow in confidence, strengthen your relationships, and find ways to ease emotional struggles—so you can move towards the life you want to live.

Couples Counselling

Sometimes relationships feel effortless, and other times they take a bit more work. Like a car, they run best with regular care and attention—and when something isn’t working, fixing it early can help prevent bigger problems later on. When our closest relationship feels strained, it can affect every other part of our lives.

Couples counselling offers a supportive space for you and your partner to understand each other more deeply, work through conflicts, and strengthen your connection. Together, we’ll explore the patterns—both as individuals and as a couple—that shape your relationship, and find new ways to be more intentional, understanding, and connected in the choices you make together.

Issues covered:

Chronic illness
Domestic violence
Extended family
Financial stress
Ineffective communication

Family Therapy

Even the healthiest families can hit rough patches. Disagreements, misunderstandings, and stressful life events can sometimes lead to tension, frustration, or distance between family members. Family therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore these challenges together, understand what’s causing distress, and find ways to strengthen your relationships.

At its heart, family therapy is about connection—recognising the patterns that help you thrive, and the ones that may be holding you back. In our work together, I’ll help you identify and shift unhelpful dynamics, build on what’s already working, and create a home environment where everyone feels heard, valued, and connected.

Issues covered:

Behavioural and academic concerns
Caregiver stress

Conflict around culture, religion, or lifestyle

Professional Supervision

I’m a registered Supervisor with the Australian Counselling Association, offering professional supervision to registered counsellors, psychotherapists, and those in student placements or volunteer roles. My style is warm, engaging, and sometimes sprinkled with humour—because I believe learning and growth don’t have to be dry or intimidating.

In supervision, I focus on two key areas: developing your professional skills and knowledge, and fostering self-reflective practice. Together, we’ll set meaningful goals for your professional development, explore challenges, and celebrate progress. My approach is supervisee-directed, meaning your needs and learning style guide the process, while keeping self-awareness at the centre of our work. I hold a strong belief that experience, combined with thoughtful reflection, is one of our greatest teachers.

I work with supervisees who support children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings. Supervision is offered one-on-one—in person, over the phone, or online. Concessional rates are available for students and volunteer counsellors.

Issues covered:

Case conceptualisation and formulation.
Development of therapeutic skills and knowledge.
Integrating techniques from different modalities to enhance intervention effectiveness.
Understanding and working with clients who struggle with change.
Support with ethical issues, such as confidentiality and maintaining professional boundaries.
Development of a Supervisees professional identity.
Development of self-care, stress management and prevention of burnout.
Development and setting up of private practice as a sole practitioner.

Youth Mentoring

If you’re a parent, you’ve probably had moments where it feels hard to connect with your teenager or young adult—no matter how much you care or how well-intentioned your advice is. Sometimes, for reasons we can’t always explain, young people simply tune out what their parents have to say about their choices or lifestyle. And that’s okay. In fact, it’s completely normal for them to be more open to listening to someone who isn’t a parent or family member. You might even notice they show more respect or appreciation to another trusted adult (yes, it can be frustrating—but it can also be a great opportunity).

That’s where mentoring comes in. Mentoring is about sharing knowledge, skills, and real-life experiences to guide someone toward their full potential. It’s a journey of discovery—together. I work with young people to raise their expectations for themselves, explore what’s possible, challenge unhelpful ways of thinking, and develop strategies that take them beyond their comfort zone.

A great mentoring relationship is built on trust, empathy, consistency, and genuine care. Sometimes that looks like role modelling, sometimes it’s teaching, and other times it’s just being a safe person to talk to. The goal is always the same: to help them feel supported, encouraged, and ready to grow into the best version of themselves.

Christian Counselling

When life feels heavy and painful, it’s natural to ask questions like: Why am I going through this? What’s the meaning of my life? How can I cope with this pain? You might also find yourself wanting to draw closer to God and strengthen your faith during these challenging times.

Christian counselling offers a safe space to explore both your mental health and your faith, weaving together the wisdom of theology with the insights of psychology for a holistic approach to healing. It’s grounded in biblical values and guided by principles that help you understand yourself more deeply, strengthen your relationship with God, and find peace in His presence.

My goal in Christian counselling is to walk alongside you, helping you rediscover the hope and comfort that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

Counselling for Young People

Adolescence brings big changes physically, emotionally, and mentally, and for some young people it can feel confusing or heavy. Counselling offers a calm, non-judgmental space to talk things through and feel understood. I work with both the young person and their parent or caregiver to bridge the gap, hear every voice, and find a practical way forward together. The focus is on trust, safety, and steady progress, with flexible session styles that may include time with your young person, with you, or together. We set achievable goals that build motivation, check in regularly, adapt as needed, and celebrate the wins so life feels easier to navigate.

Common concerns include anxiety, low mood, school stress, friendship or peer issues, family conflict, identity and self-discovery, online and social media challenges, grief and loss, anger, behavioural changes, self-esteem, self-harm or suicidal thoughts, ADHD and autism, substance use, trauma, and transitions. If you are a parent, you will be involved in a supportive way while confidentiality is respected. If you are a young person, counselling is not about being in trouble. It is about having someone on your side who listens and helps you make sense of what is going on. When you are ready, get in touch to book an appointment.
