Welcome to my bio :-).
I am known for my warm and empathetic nature.
My aim in therapy is to create a trusting and collaborative space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions, resourcing you internally and externally to cope with whatever challenges/issues you bring to counselling.
Being a Level 4 counsellor with the Australian Counsellor's association I have had the privilege of working with clients for 13 years. In these years I have worked with many issues that a person can experience in this "thing called life" : anxiety and stress, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma and grief and loss.
I strongly believe there is always hope when times are dark. Counselling can support you to find the light.
I look forward to working with you, encouraging and facilitating positive changes and improve your overall functioning and well-being.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
