A gentle and compassionate counselling approach encompassing mind, body & spirit
If you are feeling lost, I offer gentle, intuitive and empathetic support to help you to find your way again. I seek to understand your perspective and deeper feelings, to meet you where you are at, and engage with you as a whole person.
I help you connect with the parts of yourself that innately know the way forward, that can help you find purpose, meaning and clarity. These parts of yourself can act as a guide at times when nothing seems to make sense.
You may be able to connect with these parts of yourself through working at the level of the mind, identifying values and life goals, challenges and tools; through working somatically and connecting deeply with your body; or through working at the spiritual level in an intuitive and mindful way.
I draw on my training in modern counselling techniques (Person-Centred Therapy; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), my somatic training (Alexander Technique) and my spiritual practices (Buddhist meditation; energetic therapy) to create a tailored counselling approach which supports you to work in the way that is most effective for you personally.
We can lose our way for many reasons. A feeling of being lost may be triggered by major life changes: a change of job, living situation, health condition, or family circumstances.
A feeling of being lost may be triggered by grief: the death of a person or animal, the loss of a pregnancy, the breakdown of a close relationship.
These kinds of big life changes can shake our foundations and belief system, causing us to question the fundamental aspects of our life, and to maybe wonder whether the world is a safe place for us.
A feeling of being lost may also accompany general depression or anxiety. We may feel lost, empty or disconnected for no apparent reason. This feeling may have come on suddenly, or we may have felt lost for many years.
Whatever the circumstances bringing you here, I support you to find a way forward. My holistic approach encompasses mind, body and spirit, supporting you to connect with your purpose, and find a sense of wellness, joy, connection and calm.

I started my healing journey with two 10-day Vipassana silent meditation retreats in 2007. Following these retreats, I was able to start to clear energetic and emotional blocks and greatly improve my physical and mental health and wellbeing, with which I had been struggling for several years.
I went on to investigate energetic healing, and also the Alexander Technique: a mindful, somatic method for improving posture and movement. These modalities enabled me to explore aspects of my body, mind, spirit and emotions, and to better understand how these elements connect to form our whole being. I qualified as an Alexander Technique teacher in 2019, and as a Reiki Master in 2022.
I am a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association, having completed a Graduate Diploma of Counselling in 2024. This brought me a more structured understanding of how to work with clients, and modern, evidence-based, practical tools to assist clients achieve meaningful change in their lives.
I believe in the power of humans to self-heal, given the right conditions: that excellent physical and mental health and wellbeing is something that is revealed as we strip away the barriers and blockages that prevent us from living our best lives.
I have also been volunteering in palliative care, seeking a greater understanding of the process of dying. I’m passionate about promoting acceptance of death and grief, and integrating death as a part of the journey of life.
