there is a field.
I’ll meet you there"

"So much of what we call abnormality in this culture is actually normal responses to an abnormal culture. The abnormality does not reside in the pathology of individuals, but in the very culture that drives people into suffering and dysfunction”
Dr. Gabor Maté
About Me
"I help you unravel the complexities of life, gain a deeper understanding of who you are and why you do what you do, identify unconscious patterns and conditionings that no longer serve you, and guide you in connecting with what you truly want.”
​
My journey into the counselling profession comes from a lifelong fascination with understanding the human experience.
My passion for self-development has guided me on my journey toward self-connection, self-compassion, self-awareness, and alignment with my deepest truths. This ongoing process has facilitated growth and expansion in both my personal and professional life, deepening my connection not only to myself but also to the world around me.
To support my growth, I regularly engage in personal therapy. Through this inner work, I am continually challenged to identify and release limiting beliefs and conditioned patterns that no longer serve me ensuring I stay objective and self-aware in both my personal and professional life.
​
My diverse life experiences have given me an open and expansive mindset, allowing me to create a space where you can speak openly and honestly without fear of judgement. I have extensive experience working with people from all walks of life, particularly those who identify outside the mainstream. There are no topics that are ‘off limits’ or uncomfortable for me, and I welcome your true self in our work together.

​
I studied Counselling at the Australian Collage of Applied Psychology (ACAP) and Trauma Informed Processwork Psychotherapy (Process Oriented Psychology) at Pathways Psychology Institute. I am also Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed and Somatic Experiencing (SE) informed.
I am a Certified Practicing Member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and as such, abide by their ethical codes of conduct, practices and informed care. I am also supervised by a qualified supervisor as part of my ongoing commitment to maintaining high practitioner standards as well as continually attending workshops and courses as part of my professional development.
