Get to Know Me

Experienced. Certified. Supportive.

I am a mum of 3 and, more recently, a grandma. I live on the Central Coast of NSW with my husband of 30 years and our youngest son. I love hiking and camping and enjoy being outside in nature. I also love reading and catching up with family and friends. My family is my whole heart in my personal life but professionally I have a great love too.

I have many years of personal experience supporting people of all ages, from all walks of life through challenging life circumstances. My background is in teaching and supporting young people with special needs and mental health challenges. Combining these experiences and training with a career in counselling has given me a great understanding and passion for working with people who are needing some extra support.

I use a person-centred approach to counselling where I firstly listen to my client's experience and then collaborate with them to set achievable goals. I provide a trusting, safe and non-judgemental space to work with my clients where the client-therapist relationship is highly valued. I care wholeheartedly for my clients as we journey together. I provide a gentle and calming presence and I listen with empathy and kindness.

My goal is to hear you, to care for you and to support you as you navigate your particular life challenge.

I would love to hear your story and work with you to achieve your goals.
