about me
I am a dedicated and compassionate Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in child protection, trauma-informed care, and crisis intervention.
My passion lies in supporting children and families impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). I am committed to coaching individuals and families to create positive childhood experiences that promote healing, growth, and resilience. I specialise in conducting risk and strengths assessments to understand care needs, safety concerns, and evaluate the suitability of foster and kinship carer applicants.
I take pride in leading complex case consultations and delivering Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Families (TCIF) training. Above all, I am deeply committed to making sure every child and family feels respected and supported. My approach blends empathy with evidence-based practices to ensure that care is not only culturally safe but also inclusive, trauma-aware, and tailored to each unique need.

FAQ
Common Questions
What types of issues do you help clients with?
We provide support for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, relationship issues, grief, and personal growth. Our counsellors tailor their approach to meet each client’s unique needs.
How do I know if counselling is right for me?
Counselling can benefit anyone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or in need of guidance. If you’re experiencing persistent emotional challenges or simply want to better understand yourself, counselling can provide a safe and supportive environment to explore these concerns.
Is everything I share during sessions confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a core principle of our practice. Everything you share is kept private, except in situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if disclosure is required by law. Your trust and safety are our priorities.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your personal goals and the nature of your concerns. Some clients benefit from a few sessions, while others prefer ongoing support. During your initial consultation, your therapist will discuss a plan that best fits your needs.
Do you offer online or virtual counselling sessions?
Yes, we offer both in-person and online counselling sessions to provide flexible support. Virtual sessions are conducted securely, ensuring the same level of confidentiality and care as face-to-face appointments.
