'My counselling practice focuses on developing a healing connection with you based on safety and trust where you are truly seen, known and accepted. I draw on the principles from Internal Family Systems where every part of you is valuable and has
a role – even if some parts have been forced into unhelpful roles. In the counselling
space you are considered the expert in your story, and it is a privilege to hear your
story and walk alongside you as we navigate your experiences and feelings and
cultivate curiosity, kindness, wisdom and empowerment. I will support you to
reconnect with yourself, those around you and the world.'

My experience as a counsellor includes working in school and hospital settings.
Diverse and deeply painful stories are shared with me, with clients often identifying I
am the first person to truly listen to their story and pain. I am informed and
transformed by the work I do and have a lifelong journey of learning how to better
support the wonderful community I work with.

Issues Covered
I work with girls and women facing overwhelming situations that result in emotional distress whether that is experienced as grief, anxiety, shame, guilt, depression or something else.
Through my lived experience, along with additional training specific to this area, I
specialise in working with the complex issues of chronic health conditions (e.g.
endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis), chronic pain, and being childless not by
choice. I believe that trauma is intertwined with these experiences and traces are left
on the minds, emotions and bodies of not only the people directly experiencing the
situation but those around them. I use somatic awareness and yoga to address the
bodily imprints of trauma supporting nervous system regulation and promoting a
sense of calm.
