I am a youth counsellor who is extremely dedicated to helping you reach your full potential. I hold a Masters degree in counselling and am a level 2 member of the Australian Counselling Association with extensive experience working with young people. During my counselling sessions I create a safe space for you to share anything that’s on your mind without fear of judgment. After exploring your goals for therapy I will help support you to reach these at your own pace and with you in the driving seat.

Some of the common issues I work with in therapy include: Anxiety, Stress, Depression, School refusal, relationships, Emotional regulation and behavioural issues. I work with students with ASD, ADHD, OCD and the LGBTQIA+ community. I have extensive training in Solution Focused therapy (SFT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing.
