I am a registered Counsellor, Psychosocial Recovery Coach and Supervisor who offers support both via telehealth and face to face by arrangement I have an empathic, compassionate approach through which I provide a safe, nonjudgemental space to work collaboratively in encouraging and empowering people to navigate challenges in their day-to-day life and achieve their goals. I take a holistic approach encompassing the mental, emotional, physical, social and wellbeing. I use a client centred, solution focused and trauma informed approach using a mix of CBT, ACT and DBT methodologies.
I have worked for 13 years as a counsellor and life coach in a residential rehabilitation setting providing me with a wealth of skills and knowledge in working with people experiencing substance misuse issues with coexisting mental health diagnosis and related traumas including legal, personal, family and relationship challenges.
Using a collaborative approach, I support people to identify and reach their goals to live the life they desire in line with their strengths and core values. I bring a wealth of knowledge from working with NDIS participants for the past 2 years, supporting them in achieving their goals and positive outcomes to live their best life
