About
Do you feel as though something is different, but you can't quite find the words to describe it? Maybe you're trying to understand yourself, your relationships, or a world that doesn't always make room for the way you experience it. You aren't alone, and you don't need to have all the answers when you walk into counselling. Together, we’ll work through it to help you make sense of what’s happening.
Your experiences deserve to be understood. I'm here to listen, explore and work alongside you.
If the appointment times currently listed don't quite fit your schedule, please feel welcome to get in touch, and we’ll discuss what may work for you.
How I work:
There is room for you to show up as you are, without judgement or expectations. Together we will take the time to understand what life has been like from your perspective, what matters to you and what you'd like to make sense of.
My approach is person-centred, drawing on evidence-informed counselling approaches to shape our sessions around your individual needs. If talking isn't your style, we can also explore creative activities and different mediums to express what's on your mind.
Whether you're a young person trying to understand yourself, a young adult finding your way through life's changes, or a parent wanting to better understand and support your child, I'd like counselling to feel like a place where you can be yourself.
About me:
I have navigated my own experiences with dyslexia and witnessed firsthand the experiences of family members and friends with ADHD, autism and other forms of neurodivergence. I have seen how mental health challenges affect family systems. Through my work supporting children with additional needs, I’ve also had the opportunity to learn more about the different ways children navigate, communicate and interact with the world around them.
Moving from a small town in the United States to a city in Australia, I also understand the grief and uncertainty that can arise from leaving behind everything familiar, the struggle to find your footing somewhere new and rebuild a sense of connection and belonging. I understand the struggle of navigating a different culture and unfamiliar systems.
As an eldest sibling, I've come to appreciate the different roles, personalities and needs that can exist within one family, as well as the misunderstandings and tensions that sometimes come with them. I draw on these life experiences, which have shaped the way I approach others, with curiosity, care and an appreciation for the person behind the experiences.
Areas of interest & expertise:
I continue to build my knowledge through ongoing study and professional development, particularly in areas relating to neurodivergence and the experiences of young people and families.
