I specialise in working with people who are trying to escape addiction or who are in early recovery, and people who have unresolved childhood trauma and finally want to get some relief and start their healing. Working with people to find their self-worth and build (or rebuild) their self-esteem is some of the most satisfying work I do. I work out of my Terrigal Clinic, right on the beach at Terrigal, or my Gosford Clinic, right in the CBD of Gosford.

I named my practice Finding Serenity as that is what I would like my clients to receive. If you want someone that will listen and work with you to achieve your 'serenity' I would love to talk to you. I am trained in Suicide Prevention, Suicide Bereavement, Abuse, Grief and Loss, Dementia support. Our thoughts, issues and problems do not happen 9 to 5 so neither does my practice. I am available nights and weekends and will fit in with you, when it suits you and also as soon as possible. I am also a member of the College of Supervisors with Australian Counselling Association so I am available for supervision also.
