I am a Masters degree qualified Counsellor with Clinical level membership of both Christian Counsellors Association of Australia (CCAA) and Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).   

I work with adults and couples and use contemporary evidence based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gottman principles and trauma informed approaches to help clients cope more effectively with life's many challenges in practical and meaningful ways. 

Issues targeted in counselling are broad but can include:
 

• stress and burnout

• anxiety 

• depression

• impact of past trauma

• difficult emotions and thoughts

• transitions including parenting, work entry and retirement, divorce and separation 

• grief and loss

• procrastination and time management

• relationship issues including conflict and unhelpful ways of relating, family and friendship issues, loneliness, boundaries and communication

• undesired patterns of behaviour

• mindfulness including nature based interventions such of forest therapy or Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing

• Christian issues including dealing with past hurts and disappointments or using the power of that worldview to explore and deal with life's challenges.
