Hi there! I'm a country girl at heart, living most of my life in Far West NSW and regional Victoria, and now WA. These foundational years have been valuable to my own psychological development and eventual career in the field. I've had exposure to diverse populations, presentations and contexts. My clientele ranges from police, FIFO folk in the mining industry, healthcare professionals and defense personnel across the ADF. I've provided outreach to Aboriginal communities, mine sites and farmers. I work primarily with adults (18+) however will accept younger clients if specifically referred for eating disorder treatment by their GP.

Psychotherapy/counselling can seem challenging; however, I invite you to reflect on yourself, discover your inner voice and true self. Therapy is a very personal experience, it’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. Feeling heard by someone who is interested in our life is what makes us feel seen enabling us to be vulnerable. Feeling seen enables us to live authentic to who we are as unique individuals. Therapy is also about encouraging you to consider different ways of thinking, trying new strategies and learning new skills. Rewiring the brain on a better path/future forward.

Many people today find themselves feeling out of place and disconnected, struggling to cope with the demands of an ever-changing society and it's expectations. It’s common to feel uncertain about what we want, the decisions we make, or even who we are. The lack of community or connection with people or places can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, stress, or numbness. Developing a sense of purpose in life, beyond academia, family, or career, can bring about profound changes. Discovering what brings you joy, tranquility, and balance can allow you to find the answers you seek and attain the fulfillment you desire.

Female Counsellors

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
