How I work

As a qualified social worker, I take a wholistic, trauma-informed approach. I start by taking a stop back to look at your whole world — past experiences, family, relationships, support systems, living arrangements, work commitments, current stressors, and any patterns of behaviour that may be contributing to your overall wellbeing.

I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies to create a uniquely tailored approach to suit you, your situation, your personality, and your current capacity for change. Therapies such as Schema Therapy, EMDR, DBT, CBT, Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, and art-based processes may be used where appropriate. Together, we explore both the deeper patterns that need attention and the practical skills required to support incremental day-to-day change. My role isn’t to tell you what to do. It’s to walk alongside you, help you understand your inner landscape, and support you in creating new ways of responding that feel grounded, empowering, and aligned with who you are now. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, one where your experiences are honoured and your strengths recognised.

Personal me

Outside of my work, creativity is where I reconnect with myself. I love reimagining spaces, making lightshades, dabbling in textiles crafts, and transforming everyday objects into something meaningful. When I’m not making or designing, you can find me outdoors, walking my dogs on the beach, camping, kayaking, or getting lost among the spotted gums along the South Coast.

Those quiet moments in nature remind me why I do this work: because everyone deserves a place to breathe, to feel supported, and to reconnect with their own inner wisdom.
