I have been working as a counsellor for over 10 years. My work as a counsellor is enriched by previous work as a registered nurse with experience in mental health, critical care and aged care. As a parent, and as the parent of a disabled child my understanding of this area of life is extensive.
My understanding of life has been enriched by having lived as an expat and experienced the difficulties of settling in to a new environment as well as the difficulties of returning to live at home (repatriation). I also have extensive life experience with grief, loss, complex trauma and parenting a disabled child.

I use a range of approaches including talking, play therapy, sand play, symbols, art (painting, drawing, clay work), writing, poetry, movement, mindfulness meditation, energy rebalancing and Reiki. I use a number of counselling approaches including, Strengths Based, Solution Focused, Existential, Person Centred, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I also run Life Skills workshops for teens and adults. These workshops provide some education as well as opportunities to explore each individual’s life difficulties in a supportive, nurturing, safe, group environment.
