I am a registered counsellor. A significant focus in my work is couples and relationship counselling.

If you are experiencing loneliness in your relationship or feel weighed down by relationship decisions, I aim to help you find balance again.

I have come to couples and relationship counselling mid-life though I have always been interested in human behaviour, relationships, histories, and potentials.

Relationship connection is an important building block for physical and emotional wellbeing including healthy and happy families.

I hold a belief that people can grow through difficult circumstances to flourish individually and relationally. I feel privileged to hear a client’s life stories and I am motivated to help clients reconnect with their sense of self and each other.

Most recently, I have worked in private practice and community-based services as a couple and relationship counsellor.

I am a registered counsellor with the ACA (Level 2). I have a Diploma of Counselling (Uniting Institute of Education) and a Graduate Diploma in Counselling (UNE). I have a background in education including a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) (UWA) and a Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) (ECU).

I have training in:

  • Gottman Method Level 1 and Level 2 for Couples therapy
  • Family Systems therapy,
  • Emotion Focused therapy for couples
  • Intimate partner and domestic family violence
  • Narrative therapy supervision
  • ACT
  • CBT
  • Hypnosis: An Ericksonian approach

I use evidence-based therapies to enrich relationships and encourage compassionate communication and connection.

I’m a dedicated couples and relationship counsellor. I support loving, respectful, and sustainable relationships in all their diversity. I am trauma informed and support clients with their mental health wellbeing and resilience.
