- AASW
I am an accredited Social Worker with over 3 years of direct counseling experience and 15 years of broad experience across healthcare, education, and community services. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Social Work to further deepen my clinical knowledge and therapeutic practice.
I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through life transitions, chronic illness, stress, grief, and relationship challenges, using a compassionate, strengths-based approach. My background includes delivering psychosocial support in acute hospital settings across Oncology, Palliative Care, Aged Care, and Complex Medical wards.
Currently, I provide counseling to NDIS participants and their family members, with a focus on emotional wellbeing, goal setting, family conflict, and navigating personal challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
I also bring a rich and open-minded perspective shaped by my own lived experience across different cultures, faiths, and countries. Having travelled and connected with people from diverse backgrounds, I deeply respect the many ways people make meaning, build identity, and seek healing.
I believe in creating a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered. Every person’s journey is unique, and I tailor my support to align with your values, needs, and goals.
Taking a step towards changing things can feel overwhelming, and I am here to highlight your strengths so that you can harness the skills needed to reach your goals.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
