About me

My practice
I have been in practice for over 33 years and have been teaching in the Diploma and Bachelor of Counselling for over 12 years at the Australian College of Applied Professions. I am a Pacfa accredited supervisor and provide clinical supervision for counsellors and students on placement
Through my employment in the human service sector—in disability, foster care, homelessness, on the Quitline, my work with long-term unemployed people, and from employment with Victim Support Service—for over 14 years, I have gained extensive experience in working with people suffering from a vast variety of psychological conditions, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, loss and grief, life transitions and low self-esteem.
In my private practice I have assisted clients in their personal development and spiritual growth.

My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is grounded in the humanistic-existential theories and draws on Psychosynthesis and Expressive Therapies. I utilise coaching processes to assist clients in restructuring their lives, building resilience, and adopting a more positive outlook for the future.
