I am a Level 3 registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association and hold over 10 years of professional experience in mental health, education, and community services. I have supported individuals across diverse backgrounds in navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centred, and culturally responsive, drawing on my background in both counselling and community work to provide holistic support.

I believe that every person holds the wisdom and strength to overcome their challenges, and my role is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and genuine care as you work toward healing and growth. Taking the first step to reach out for support can take courage, and I’m truly proud of you for beginning this journey toward your wellbeing.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
