I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling and a Bachelor’s Honours degree in Psychological Science, and I am an accredited member of the Australian Counselling Association.

​

Originally from Sydney, my journey brought me to Tropical North Queensland in an adventurous way—working as a dive instructor among the coral reefs of the Coral Sea. Alongside my roles as a sister, daughter, and mother, numerous experiences have shaped my understanding of resilience, adaptation, and the multifaceted aspects of being human. Like many, I have navigated challenging seasons in life, which continues to inform the empathy and grounded presence I bring to my work.

​

At the heart of my practice is a strong belief in connection, compassion, and meeting people where they are. I work with curiosity, openness, patience, and presence, supporting clients in a way that honours their lived experience and inner capacity for growth.

​

My academic and professional background includes extensive training in behavioural and cognitive psychology, alongside practical experience as a Behaviour Practitioner and Counsellor. This foundation led me to deepen my understanding of nervous system regulation, drawing on somatic and polyvagal-informed approaches to support individuals experiencing stress, overwhelm, trauma, and emotional dysregulation.

​

Alongside counselling, I have studied Reiki and energy healing for over four years. I offer Reiki as a standalone service or alongside counselling, including distance Reiki sessions. Many people seek Reiki to support relaxation, pain and fatigue management, emotional wellbeing, and overall balance. Emerging clinical and statistical research suggests Reiki may offer benefits for stress reduction, nervous system regulation, and mental health support, particularly when used as a complementary practice.

I bring over five years of experience working with women, men, and young people, with specialised skills in domestic and family violence, person-centred counselling, wellbeing promotion, addiction support, attachment and relational needs, parenting support, grief, Reiki, and mentoring. All services are offered with care, choice, and respect for each individual’s unique needs and readiness.
