A gentle and compassionate counselling approach encompassing mind, body & spirit
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or grief, I offer gentle, empathetic support to help you to find a way through.
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated, depressed or disconnected.
You may be struggling with grief due to bereavement, relationship breakdown, pregnancy loss, pet loss, empty nest syndrome, carer responsibilities, or social isolation. Your grief may be from current or past life events.
You may be feeling like the people around you don’t fully see, hear or understand you.
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 act as a guide at difficult 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 thought patterns; through working somatically and connecting deeply with your body; or through working at the spiritual level, finding meaning and connection.
I draw on my training in counselling techniques (Person-Centred Therapy; Acceptance & Commitment Therapy; Art Therapy), my somatic training (Alexander Technique) and my spiritual practices (Buddhist meditation; energetic therapy) to create a tailored approach that works for you.
Whatever the circumstances that have brought 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.
