My career so far has predominantly been within community health in Melbourne, Australia.
I am motivated by excellence and ongoing deep reflection and learning. As such I have a drive to support counsellors, clinicians, supervisors and leaders to reach their potential. That includes support through clinical suprvision or specialist counselling for professionals.
I see counselling as a privilege to walk alongside people and support their journey of recovery and discovery. To explore why change can feel hard; why we struggle with change; and what solutuons might be possible for us as unique individuals with unique strengths, values and skills.
I am excited to now work within my private practice.
