My Approach to Healing

I began my journey in 1990 as a youth crisis outreach counsellor in Newcastle. It was there, after moving from my hometown of Sydney, that I discovered my calling to support people through their most challenging times. For the past 35 years, I've studied and worked my way up the East Coast, gaining a wide range of experience in government and community agencies. My clients have been my greatest teachers, and I've dedicated my career to constantly learning new therapeutic approaches to better support them.

Over time, I noticed many people were feeling “stuck” when processing trauma. A significant number were late-diagnosed neurodivergent and navigating anxiety or depression alongside their primary concerns. During the past decade I’ve honed my interventions to focus on trauma processing, flexible ways of working with anxiety and depression, and supporting the varied therapeutic needs of our neurodivergent community.

In 2016, I completed my Master of Counselling and was accepted into the Golden Key International Honour Society in recognition of academic achievement.

Since then, I’ve completed hundreds of hours of additional training—earning certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (Level 2), Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist.
