I’m so glad you’re here. I know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you’re not alone. My approach to counselling is warm, person-centered, and holistic, meaning I meet you where you are with compassion and understanding. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, or personal growth, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore your emotions, gain clarity, and find the strength within you.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
Approach Description: I believe in a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy, which means that I meet you where you are and work with you at your own pace. I draw on a variety of therapeutic tools, including mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural techniques (CBT), EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and a focus on the mind-body connection to help you create meaningful change. I believe that our mental and physical well-being are deeply intertwined, and by fostering both, we can create lasting change. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions, untangling patterns that may be keeping you from living the life you truly want. Most importantly, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make the changes that resonate with you. Therapy isn’t just about finding solutions - it’s about building awareness, understanding yourself on a deeper level, and taking meaningful steps toward growth and healing.

I offer online therapy Australia wide and in-person appointments Perth, W.A., allowing you to choose the space where you feel most at ease and comfortable. Whether it’s in a favourite room, outdoors in nature, or curled up on the couch with a cozy blanket and a cup of tea, this sense of comfort is crucial to a successful session. When you feel safe and relaxed, real progress can begin.
I love working with adults who may feel stuck or lost, helping you find clarity and direction in your life. I truly understand how frustrating it can be to feel directionless, having faced those challenges myself. My goal is to support you in reconnecting with your inner strength and uncovering the next steps forward.
In our work together, I help you untangle the thoughts and behaviour patterns that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or trapped. These patterns, often shaped by past experiences, can hold you back from living fully. By bringing awareness to these thoughts and behaviours, we can work to shift them in a way that aligns with your true values and goals. This process is at the heart of therapy - it’s not just about talking through issues, but actively creating lasting change by breaking free from what no longer serves you. When you begin to see and understand these patterns, you're empowered to make healthier choices and move toward the life you want.
If you're ready to explore, untangle, and grow, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
