I'm a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming counsellor based in Australia, with a Bachelor of Counselling (completed 2026) and over four years of experience in private practice. My background also includes working in emergency mental health care, which taught me how to stay calm and present with people in crisis.
I tailor my approach for each client and what they wish to work on. I draw on somatic therapy (because our bodies hold so much of our story), along with EMDR, EFT, ACT, and CBT. My style is person-centred, attachment-based, and emotionally focused—and I always honour your brain as it is, without trying to "fix" you.
Here's who I've helped, and how I might help you:
If stress or anxiety feels like it's always there — I'll help you understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from, and find calm that actually lasts.
If your relationship feels stuck in the same fight — I create a safe space for couples and families to stop blaming and start hearing each other again.
If trauma or abuse has left you feeling unsafe in your own body — we'll move at your pace, using somatic work and EMDR, so you don't have to relive what happened to heal from it.
If you're ADHD, autistic, or neurodivergent — you don't need to mask here. We'll work with focus, memory, and emotional regulation in a way that actually makes sense for your brain.
If motivation, self-esteem, or confidence feel out of reach — I won't shame you into changing. We'll gently untangle what's been getting in the way.
If you're stuck in negative cycles or struggling to regulate your emotions — I'll help you recognise those loops with kindness, so you can start responding instead of reacting.
I work with my clients to create an open, safe, and non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to make a change, I am here to support and empower you on your journey.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. You've already taken the first step. I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
