- AHPRA
I am credentialed in Australia with 20 years of professional work experience - in addition to an MBA from Paris, France. I have experience in helping clients and couples with career difficulties, coping with life changes, & executive and professional coaching. My commitment is to stay with you, in service of your best self, so we can shine light on your current current situation and disentangle any stuck parts you may be experiencing.
Your True North is our compass.
It takes courage to take on a bold new path - but just as equally - it takes courage to CHOOSE to NOT take on a change because it does not serve your highest, most private, personal goals. I am here to support & empower you in that journey, with your wellbeing and wishes forefront and centre.

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.
