I work with clients through NDIS, Victims Services and EAP funding as well as in private practice.

After graduating with a degree in Social Work, I worked with children, young people and families for many years. In recent years I have invested myself into training in some of the most evidence based models for counselling. This is to ensure that you find lasting change for your life.

I am confident in supporting you if you are experiencing the following:

  • PTSD and complex trauma , including recovery from domestic violence and sexual assault
  • Mental health concerns with anxiety and depression
  • Separation and divorce , including support for children
  • Couple counselling with a focus on supporting couples with trauma and / or mental health challenges
  • Family counselling with children or adult children

I use the following models in my counselling work:

  • EMDR ( eye movement desensitisation and processing) for adults, teenagers and children
  • Trauma informed CBT ( cognitive behavioural therapy)
  • Somatic based therapies , including sensory motor psychotherapy and others which consider the whole self – body, mind and emotions
  • Skill building using the body, including breath and muscle relaxation
  • Skill building for relationships including communication, conflict resolution and assertiveness
  • Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) for impulse control and emotional regulation
  • Attachment based therapies such as Emotion Focused Therapy and Theraplay
  • Play therapy and creative therapies, using sand tray, art and movement for children
  • Models embedded in neuroscience including polyvagal theory

I will create a safe place for you and your loved ones.

In the process I will be committed to you , your goals, celebrating your successes and supporting you to find solutions to your life.  I won’t be taking a stab in the dark with you, over your life.

I have a clear map which we can follow, which is evidence- based, showing us what direction to head in, for long-lasting change. If I don’t have the right answers, I will try to find them for you or refer you to another person who might help.
