Supporting trauma, anxiety and emotional regulation in Melbourne

" When words aren’t enough, creative expression can help"

I’m a PACFA registered clinical counsellor and registered art therapist with over 20 years in public and private practice in Melbourne. I provide counselling for children and their families, and support for women, as well as working alongside parents and families. My aim is to offer a calm, supportive space to explore what’s troubling you, make sense of your experience, and move towards practical, lasting change.

My work is trauma‑informed and neurodiversity‑affirming. I use an integrated blend of counselling and psychotherapy approaches tailored to each client, including Family Therapy, Art/Play Therapies, Sandplay Therapy, Meditation and Mindfulness.

Support areas include: ADHD, autism, and social and emotional regulation challenges.
