It is our human need to make sense of our experience but offten, people can feel significant isolation in not being seen, not being heard and understood. There is still a significant stigma in help seeking and what people will receive from me is validation, support, an opportunity to consider strategies or goals that can assist you in managing your experiences in a non shaming space. You will leave counselling with a stronger sense of yourself and your own strength and capacities to support yourself and continue to increase a positive sense of meaning in your life. You are the expert in yourr life.

I work with both children and adults, adopting a collaborative approach and offering 'more-than-verbal' methods for communication, understanding, and self-expression. I have a Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice and am in my final year of training in Somatic Experiencing (c).

Have they experienced something traumatic or had a past where they were hurt or abused? I have many year's experience working with children, teens and their parents, including where experiences of trauma may have affected their ability to experience safe, joyful relating together.

Bayside Mediation specialises in helping those couples who are thinking of separating or who have already separated but not yet engaged with the Family Law process, understand the process and potential outcomes ahead of them. Our clients are seeking guidance and clarity; help to navigate and understand the Family Law process. Our clients are looking for a better way to separate, a better way than litigation to end a long term relationship. They can be in conflict or have issues in dispute. But ultimately, they don't want to waste thousands of dollars and years of their lives in litigation; they want another legal option, us.
