About Me
About Me
I believe that every person is the expert on their own experience, and my role as a counsellor is to act as a mirror — shining a light on all parts of you, however they look. At the heart of my practice is the belief that counselling isn’t about “fixing” yourself, but about reconnecting to your whole self. We move at your pace, in your own time.
My path to becoming a counsellor was anything but conventional. I left school with no intention of entering psychology — I tried a commerce degree, and then clothing design. It was only when I found myself needing to ask for help for the first time that everything shifted. Understanding what that felt like from the inside made me realise, with certainty, that this was my calling. I went on to complete an undergraduate degree in psychology and counselling, followed by an honours in psychology.
A safe space where we can be open about what’s hard, and curious about what’s possible.
Who I Work With
Who I Work With
I support people navigating:

Low self-esteem
Relationship or family challenges
Grief, trauma, or big life transitions
Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of the next step
As well as many other experiences you may encounter in life.
How I Work
How I Work
Our work together is grounded in talk-based counselling, through which we explore, navigate, question, and reflect on your experiences. Alongside this, I may draw on somatic practices such as breathwork — using the breath as a tool to regulate the body and emotions, and to process thoughts and feelings in a way that doesn’t always require words.

What is a Wellness Counsellor?
What is a Wellness Counsellor?
Wellness Counsellors serve to enhance the total wellbeing of their clients by making use of a systems approach to counselling – working towards achieving wholeness within the integrative unity of body, mind and spirit. The level of counselling is that of primary health care. This includes individual counselling, group counselling and marriage counselling, life style coaching, counselling for problems, trauma counselling, drug and alcohol abuse counselling, HIV/AIDS counselling, counselling for gambling addiction, bereavement counselling, hospice counselling and support and assistance in human development.
The Wellness Counsellor is competent to lend comprehensive counselling support towards the improvement of the quality of life by assisting client’s in resolving conflicts, improving relationships, sorting out general problems, coping with life’s challenges and finding inner peace.
Wellness Counsellors are required to refer clients to medical and psychological professionals if they identify needs that require specialised intervention such as mood, personality and anxiety disorders and health related problems that require medical attention.
