I am an experienced Counsellor, ASD/ADHD Coach and Mental Health Clinician registered in Australia with more than 15 years of professional work experience in this sector. My greatest passion is supporting clients to lean into their strengths and live their best life (however you choose to define it). I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, depression, & coping with life changes. I also have expertise in supporting clients experiencing workplace related challenges and those living with, or supporting loved ones, with neurodiversity. I work from a strength based, trauma informed lens at your pace, supporting your goals. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I feel privileged to be able to support you and work with you during this time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
