I believe we are all seeking to follow our heart's true desires, as a way to find happiness and fulfilment.  we all have a right to be heard, seen and felt fully.

Accessing our heart is important in a society which values the mind's logic and reason over the heart's emotion, imagination and intuition.  By listening deeply to the heart, mind and body, as well as the subtleties of our energetic field, I feel we naturally come into balance, and answers to our questions become available.

I bring a keen curiosity, unwavering respect and positive regard, and commitment to true healing to my work with clients, supervisees and practitioners.  My style is straightforward, 'call it like i see it', intuitive, allowing space for the person's own timing, focusing on safety and gently challenging when required.

I welcome clients, supervisees and students of all gender identities, skin colours, cultural backgrounds, relationship preferences and sexual identities. I provide a space that embraces diversity of sexuality, relationship, body and neurology. I aim for transparency and embrace any and all feedback.

I have worked in a counselling capacity with children, adolescents and adults in community and health settings over the past 20 years.  For 12 years I have specialised in trauma counselling, working with issues of sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, mental health issues, life transitions (such as marriage, divorce, birth, adolescence-adulthood), relationships and self esteem. I have also facilitated couple and family sessions, and run groups including adult and young women's groups, and a long-standing men's group for sexual abuse victim/survivors.

For the past 5 years I have focused on supervising and educating other therapists, as well as practitioners from other professions who regularly work with people experiencing trauma (including yoga teachers, TCM practitioners, alternative therapy practitioners). My passion is bringing embodiment practices to supervision, integrating mind, body and heart to be able to keep supervisees as present to their own experience as they are to their clients’. The education I deliver has a strong embodiment focus so that the learning is embedded on experiential as well as cognitive levels.

I have formal qualifications in Social Work and Transpersonal Counselling, and have completed extensive professional development in narrative therapy, trauma counselling, art therapy, attachment theories, family therapy, mindfulness, crystal healing, reiki, substance abuse, sandplay and a range of other explorations that have expanded my practice.  

I am a trained clinical supervisor for individuals and groups; I actively engage in regular supervision and self-reflection to deepen and expand my skills as a practitioner, and maintain accountability and integrity in my work.

I also integrate my passions and experience in Kundalini Yoga, meditation and integrative embodiment practices into my work and approach.
