A little bit about me
I'm a Registered Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), holding a Diploma of Counselling with advanced study in mindfulness-based therapies, grief and loss counselling, and relationship counselling.
My approach is warm, practical and grounded in evidence-based counselling. I aim to provide a confidential space where you can slow down, feel heard and work through whatever life is asking of you.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent more than 20 years in senior leadership roles across banking, finance and business. That experience helps me understand the pressures that many professionals, business owners and people carrying significant responsibility face—but counselling is now my profession and my focus.
Whether you're experiencing stress, grief, relationship difficulties or simply feeling overwhelmed, my role is to walk alongside you as you find a way forward.
Why I Became a Counsellor
Over many years, I saw how easily people carrying significant responsibility can overlook their own wellbeing.
Professionals, business owners, leaders and parents often become the person others rely on. They keep solving problems, making decisions and supporting those around them, while quietly carrying the emotional weight themselves.
I've experienced the pressures that responsibility can bring, both professionally and personally. Like many people, I've faced periods of loss, uncertainty and change. Those experiences reinforced something I now see often in my counselling practice—being capable doesn't mean you should have to carry everything alone.
That's why I chose to train as a counsellor.
Today, I provide a confidential, non-judgemental space where people can step away from the demands of everyday life, make sense of what they're experiencing and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.
My Approach
My counselling is grounded in evidence-based practice, while also informed by many years spent working alongside people carrying significant responsibility.
That experience helps me appreciate the realities of pressure, decision-making and the expectations that many professionals, business owners and leaders place on themselves. More importantly, it reminds me that behind every role is a person who deserves support.
Counselling isn't about having all the answers. It's about creating a space where you can think clearly, process what's happening and move forward in a way that aligns with your values and goals.
