I'm a licensed counsellor in Australia with over 4 years of dedicated professional counselling experience, grounded in 25+ years of supporting people through advocacy, education, and community care. With lived experience, I understand how essential personal strategies are for nurturing wellbeing—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I've worked extensively with children, teens, and adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, trauma, grief, workplace pressures, bullying, isolation, and life changes.

I truly believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, help you access your inner strengths, and empower you toward the future you envision. My collaborative approach uses evidence-based tools—tailored to you for practical progress and deeper exploration as needed. It takes real courage to reach out and take those first steps toward a more fulfilling, happier life—I'm here with an open heart to listen without judgment and help you reach your goals. Ready to feel stronger and more at peace? Let's take that step together.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
