Grad Dip Counselling, | M. Counselling

I am a Christian Counsellor based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, offering both in-person and online sessions. I am registered with the Christian Counsellors Association of Australia (CCAA) and the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).

I bring a genuine, compassionate, and empathetic approach to counselling, with a deep respect for each person’s unique life experience. I am passionate about connecting with others, supporting their growth, and fostering greater awareness of mental health and wellbeing. My aim is to encourage and empower individuals to take the next step in seeking support.

I naturally build rapport with people from diverse backgrounds, offering empathy, curiosity, flexibility, and commitment in my work. My approach is person-centred, and I work with both individuals and groups. I have seen the positive impact of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and draw on an integrative and eclectic range of evidence-based approaches—including expressive, behavioural, and cognitive-informed therapies—to best support each client’s individual needs.

I am committed to building strong therapeutic relationships and providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, experiences, and challenges. I seek to walk alongside you, supporting and equipping you as you process and work through personal concerns, life challenges, and mental health issues.
