Welcome,

Thank you for taking this first step. I have 27 years’ experience working with women. I am a counsellor, specialist midwife and nurse. I am here to help. As women we wear so many hats in our lives, and we all come across challenges we need to figure out. I provide warm, non-judgmental counselling that is trauma informed. I am trained in person centered pluralistic counselling which means we figure out together what, of the many counselling methods available, will suit you best as we are all so unique. 

I work with clients from 18 years and older. I also have special interest in working with women experiencing miscarriage and baby loss. 

I counsel in lovely welcoming rooms at the counselling hub at Albany Presbyterian Church on Albany Highway. Close to the motorway for easy access. School hours. A comfy sofa and warm drink help create the relaxed space we need to be curious together about what will be the most helpful to you.
