My Approach

I lead with a compassionate inquiry, aimed at cultivating a safe and supportive environment, I invite individuals to become curious about their mental climate, revealing hidden assumptions, implicit memories and body states that form real messages behind words shared.

Additionally, I draw from relational therapy, helping individuals understand their behaviours and how they are related to past experiences. By uncovering the often unconscious and repetitive patterns established through our early attachment experiences, individuals can gain insight into the dynamics of their adult relationships, both personal and professional. 

Through therapeutic alliance, based on trust and authenticity, I encourage individuals to safely practice communicating their needs and boundaries within the therapeutic space, providing opportunities for the relational skills to then be practised outside of therapy.

My practice is grounded in mindfulness and somatic exercises, which incorporates cultivating presence and awareness. Designed to provide individuals with opportunities to find solace in stillness, a space of calm amongst the mess of life.

Education and PROFESSION

I completed my postgraduate training in Teaching and in Counselling. I have been practising as a Teacher for close to a decade and continue to work in schools as a Mental Health Worker.

Over the past three years I have honed in my skills in various mental health organisations supporting individuals and groups in one-on-one sessions and evidence-based wellbeing programs. In 2024, I co-founded Gather & Weave Collective, a mental health service aimed at supporting individuals to build emotional awareness and develop healthier ways to manage and express emotions. I have also worked in the community, supporting volunteered mentors navigate mentor/mentee relationships with the aim to build trust and connection. This work has included facilitating groups focused on human connection and building emotional intelligence.
