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 greater awareness and understanding of who you are and why you do what you do, identify unconscious patterns and conditionings that are no longer serving you and guide you to connect to what you truly want"
My journey into the counselling profession is an accumulation of a lifetime fascination with observing and exploring the human condition.
My passion for self-development has supported me on my journey to self-connection, self-compassion, self-awareness and self-understanding leading to alignment with my deepest truths and authenticity. This has facilitated growth and expansion within my personal and professional life deepening my connection not only to myself but also to the world around me.
Through this innerwork I am constantly challenged to look at, identify and dissolve the limiting beliefs and conditioned patterns that I hold.
In pursuit of my perpetual evolution in this area I consistently engage in personal therapy sessions so I can remain objective and self-aware in my personal and professional life.
I have ‘lived experience’ in many diverse areas of life, which has given me an expanded and open mind, allowing you the freedom to talk honesty and openly about a wide range of subjects without the need to censor or hide your true self. I have vast experience working with those who identify as anything but mainstream, and there are no topics that are ‘off limits’ or uncomfortable for me.
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.
