I embarked on my journey of counselling, pastoral and spiritual care in 2019, following a diverse career that began as a disability carer in 2012 and evolved into a youth worker role by 2014. By 2021, I had risen to the position of case worker, led by a sense of compassion for supporting individuals through complex challenges.

In 2023, I earned a Master's in Pastoral/Spiritual Care which included counselling, while also dedicating my time to supporting Aged Care. My approach to care and counselling is a unique blend of psychotherapy and physiology, underpinned by a non-judgemental ethos that prioritizes the protection of individual dignity. I am deeply committed to respecting each person's metaphors of meaning and providing unwavering support to victim-survivors of domestic violence, trauma, abuse, and mental health disorders such as ODD, ADHD, and CD.

My holistic approach to care and counselling is adaptable across various settings, from children and youth to family support services. I am passionate about the practice of appreciative inquiry and the profound, positive impact it can have on individuals, both young through to aged care. The patterns of compassionate care I employ foster a sense of wholeness and healing for those I serve.

Currently, I am furthering my expertise by pursuing a Graduate Diploma in Counselling, with a special interest in family services. I am excited to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of others through my dedicated and empathetic approach to pastoral and spiritual care, and counselling.

Special Interest: 

If you claim hardship or a willing volunteer, each school term I typically offer 5x1hr free on-line counselling sessions in support of my further studies with AIFC-RTO 88037 (as required). These sessions are recorded for training purposes and therefore adult consent must be granted, while the ethics of client confidentiality and duty of care remain secure.
