About Me
I know reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to be here. My role as a counsellor is to walk alongside you with warmth, respect, and care. I offer a safe and confidential space where you can slow down, breathe, and begin to explore what is happening in your life without fear of judgment.
My approach to counselling is gentle and collaborative. I believe you are the expert in your own life and my approach is strongly influenced by narrative approached to therapy. This means I listen closely to the stories you tell about your life. Together, we can explore how these stories may have been shaped by experiences, relationships, culture, or even painful events from the past. By looking at your life in this way, it becomes possible to separate the problems you face from who you are, and to re-author your story in ways that highlight your strengths, values, and hopes for the future. Many people find this process empowering, as it helps them see themselves through a kinder and stronger lens.
Over the years, I have worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, gambling, and challenges related to alcohol and other drug use. I also work with those who simply feel stuck, overwhelmed, or in need of a space to be heard. My practice is guided by person-centred, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approaches, so that we can find a pace and style of counselling that feels right for you.
Alongside my counselling practice, I also teach in the Master of Addictive Behaviours at Monash University, where I support and mentor the next generation of counsellors. This role keeps me connected to the latest research while staying grounded in the real-world experience I’ve gained through many years of counselling, supervision, and community health work.
Most importantly, I want you to know that counselling is not about being “fixed.” It is about being truly heard, discovering new perspectives, and creating space for change—whether that means letting go of old burdens, reconnecting with what matters most, or simply finding ways to get through a difficult season of life.
If you are considering counselling, I warmly invite you to take the first step. You don’t need to have everything worked out. You only need a willingness to begin. From there, we can explore together what healing, growth, and new possibilities might look like for you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
