The following quote continues to resonate and inspire me: ‘I think the most beautiful thing in the world is watching the light come back on in someone’s eyes when they have been lost in the dark for so long.’ The light slowly returned to my eyes when I embarked on my own recovery journey 11 years ago. The unexpected gift that emerged from the struggle was a passion for the transformative recovery process and helping guide others out of the darkness. I am a Registered Counsellor and have worked at treatment centers throughout Australia over the last 10 years, most recently at South Pacific Private in Sydney for 6.5 years.

Hi, I'm Julia. In counselling I use anti-oppressive and non-pathologising frameworks. This means I work with you to explore how you make sense of your life and experiences. I am deeply informed by social justice and critical theory. I welcome all bodies, genders and identities, and work to problematise the privileges I hold as a cis, able-bodied woman on stolen land. My style is conversational, where I collaborate with you to create a space where you can can get a greater sense of your preferences, hopes and befriend all parts of yourself. I approach counselling as a place for genuine connection and meaning-making.
