Helping you feel heard, understood and supported.
Everyone faces challenges at times. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or unsure how to move forward. You don’t have to navigate these experiences alone.
I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore what you’re experiencing, develop practical coping strategies and work towards positive change at your own pace.
🌿 Who I work with
- Children and teenagers experiencing emotional, behavioural or school-related challenges.
- Adults navigating personal difficulties, relationships, stress or life changes.
- Individuals and families seeking greater understanding, connection and healthier ways of coping.
With more than 20 years of experience working with children and young people, I understand the importance of feeling safe, respected and genuinely heard.
💚 How I can help
I support clients experiencing challenges such as:
- ADHD and related emotional or everyday challenges
- Anxiety, low mood and depression
- Trauma and abuse-related experiences
- Emotional regulation and behavioural difficulties
- Self-esteem, confidence and relationships
- Stress, burnout and difficult life transitions
- Crisis support and overwhelming experiences
- Coping skills, resilience and personal growth
🌱 My approach
Every person is different, so counselling should be tailored to your needs.
My approach is person-centred, compassionate and practical, drawing on:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- DBT-informed skills for emotional regulation and coping
- Strengths-based strategies that build on your existing abilities and resilience
Together, we can explore what’s happening, recognise patterns, develop new skills and identify realistic steps forward.
🧡 A supportive space for young people
When working with children and teenagers, I aim to create an environment where they feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgement. Where appropriate, I collaborate with parents and caregivers while respecting young people’s privacy and explaining confidentiality boundaries.
✨ Taking the first step
You don’t need to be in crisis or have all the answers to seek counselling. Sometimes, having someone listen and help you make sense of things can be a meaningful place to start.
You deserve to feel heard, supported and understood.

You don't need to be in crisis to seek counselling. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, self-esteem, relationships, school difficulties or a significant life change. Sometimes, you may simply need someone to listen and help you make sense of what you're experiencing.
What happens during the first session?
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, discuss what has brought you to counselling and identify what you would like help with. You can share at your own pace, and we can work together to establish goals that feel right for you. There is no pressure to talk about everything straight away.
What counselling approaches do you use?
My approach is person-centred, compassionate and tailored to each individual. I draw on evidence-informed strategies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed skills, to support emotional regulation, coping, self-understanding and positive change.

My standard counselling fee is $140 for a 50-minute session. I can also discuss reduced-fee options for eligible clients who may be accessing financial assistance, depending on the circumstances. You are welcome to contact me with any questions or to arrange an appointment.
