Counselling
ACA-Registered Counsellor
I hold a Graduate Diploma of Counselling, and registration with the Australian Counselling Association.
My counselling approach is person-centred and strengths-focused, creating a supportive space where you feel welcomed and understood.
My counselling practice is inclusive, and queer- and neuro-affirming, always.
Together, we can explore your strengths and values, as well as the social, political and environmental influences affecting your life.
Counselling Methods
I work integratively; my work is informed by evidence-based modalities including:
Rogerian/Person-Centered Therapy (PCT)
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT),
Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF), and
Nature Therapy
I view counselling as collaborative and conversational; the client is the expert in their own life, and I am lucky to co-author a chapter!

Having a disability or chronic illness impacts every facet of life; I know, because I have a disability.
Counselling can help you to understand your own attitudes and emotions towards your illness or disability, and identify the social barriers that are impacting you.
New diagnoses can require grieving, and living with illness or disability can take some radical acceptance and narrative re-writing.
I intentionally create a space where you are heard and understood, free from judgement.
-
My work is neurodiversity-affirming.
Every client experiences life - and counselling - differently. What works for one brain, may not work for another, and that’s ok!
I welcome requests for sensory and communication accommodations in our work together.
Expressions of your neurodiversity are always safe here.
-
Relationships are one of the most common - and impactful - counselling topics. Counselling can help you to understand your relationship patterns and priorities, and know what you really want from your relationships.
I create a welcoming space for people of all relationship styles and orientations, including non-monogamous and polyamorous individuals and families.
-
Counselling is highly effective for anxiety.
I provide clients with tools to help manage their anxiety, both acute and chronic. We also look at the root causes of anxiety, from trauma to self-talk.
By understanding how our anxiety works, and what works to calm it, we can work towards reducing its impact on our lives.
-
Spirituality is one of the biggest topics that we can grapple with. All spiritual topics are open for exploration in my practice including (but not limited to):
Religious trauma
Changes in belief, religion, or spiritual identity
Being a member of a minority religion
Existential fears
Spiritual and religious practices and beliefs
-
Changes in life can lead to some of our biggest challenges. Grief, stress, and uncertainty might abound; counselling is one of the most effective ways to help us get through difficult times.
