PACFA Clinical Registered counsellor committed to ethical, professional, and client-centred practice.
I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, separation, and family conflict. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, with therapy tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I draw on evidence-based approaches including CBT, attachment-based, psychodynamic, humanistic, and strengths-based interventions to support emotional wellbeing and positive change.
