About

I’m in my mid‑40s, married for 26 years to an amazingly supportive husband, and mum to five adult kids aged between 26 and 18. With three married, one engaged and one in a relationship, our family continues to grow, and I’m “Mema” to five beautiful little munchkins, from four years old to one still on the way. Family is one of my greatest joys.

I feel most grounded in nature, especially at the beach, and I love walking, reading, listening to music and being creative in the kitchen. Time with my husband, including motorbike rides, is something I treasure, and I find a lot of peace in tending to my vegie garden and watching things grow.

My passion for helping people began during my teaching years, where I was drawn to supporting others through their challenges and seeing the best in them, even when they couldn’t see it themselves. That desire to walk alongside people with compassion and practical support eventually led me into counselling, where I bring together my lived experience, professional training and genuine care for people of all ages.

In my counselling work, I draw on several therapeutic approaches, including Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; each offering practical tools, emotional insight and a grounded, supportive framework for growth.

My journey into counselling has grown from a lifelong passion for supporting people and helping them move toward healthier, more grounded versions of themselves. With a background in early childhood and primary teaching, and formal training through the Australian Institute of Professional Counselling, I bring both lived experience and evidence‑based knowledge to my work. I continue to develop my skills through ongoing training so I can offer a safe, respectful, and supportive space for every person who walks through the door.
