I have a strong interest in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, chronic health conditions, chronic pain and life transitions (such as work roles, migration, or life stages). I am also passionate about working with individuals from different cultures (particularly South East Asia) and adjusting to living in Australia as a migrant or international student, who are exploring their sense of self and identity, and reconciling their values with their new identity. I see therapy as a safe, non-judgemental, calm space to explore the issues in depth.

Psychology sessions give you the opportunity to take a step back and explore what is really important to you. We address implementing the fundamentals, of optimum sleep, nutrition, enjoyable movement and rewarding relationships to put you in the healthiest physiological and neurological state to respond adaptively to stress and challenges when they arise. Making this manageable and tangible sets you up to actualise goals and live in accordance with your valued priorities. I practice neurological condition through physiological health practices and resilience skill building. This is proactive mental health.

I am passionate about helping people in any capacity I can. Every story is valid, and valuable, and deserves to be heard, accepted and given unconditional love. Working with clients with a wide range of mental health presentations gives me the experience to make valuable contributions to people’s stories. My primary aim is to use my empathetic personality and training in a person-centred approach to create a safe space and help individuals reach their therapeutic goals. I believe in the power of stories and play hence I often use narrative therapy and play in my therapeutic approach along with various other modalities.

We are all searching for the same universal experience, one which will ultimately provide us with a sense of meaning, peace, awe and joy. Conditioned patterns of thinking or challenging life events have the potential to throw us off kilter. However, even amongst the chaos, there is always potential for a life of fulfilment, hope and purpose. I offer (online counselling across Australia) practical evidence based and Solution Focused Psychological Therapy across a diverse range of issues tailored for women. To enhance well-being, I work holistically, incorporating the entire spectrum of the human being including; mind, body and soul.

As a Holistic Counsellor & Psychotherapist, I help people navigate the sometimes bumpy flow of life and facilitate their process of connecting back with their own inner strengths and resources. The impacts of trauma, anxiety and overwhelm can be debilitating. Together, we dive deeper than symptom management and work with the process that's wanting to emerge, the way of life that you imagine. We find out what's in the way of this new way of being, and step onto a new path, rich with the possibility of change.
