After completing a Bachelor of Paramedicine in 2018, I moved to the UK and worked as a paramedic throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments was a privilege and played a significant role in shaping my interest in mental health. It reinforced the importance of providing support before people reach crisis point and inspired me to return to Australia and complete a Master of Counselling.

I am passionate about understanding the human experience and genuinely curious about what makes us who we are. I believe that every person has a unique story, shaped by their experiences, relationships, strengths, and challenges. For me, counselling is about creating a space where people feel safe to explore those experiences without judgement.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to provide a space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are. I believe that while life can be challenging, each person has the capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change. Together, we can explore what matters most to you, make sense of your experiences, and work towards a life that feels aligned with your values.

Through my work in healthcare and counselling, I have had the privilege of supporting people across all stages of life. I am currently accepting clients aged 12 years and older and welcome adolescents, adults, and older adults seeking support, personal growth, or simply a space to be heard.
