How I Can Support You
I provide specialist care for internal exploration, emotional regulation and day to day integration of your experiences.
About me
I am a certified Counsellor based in Margaret River providing trauma-informed counselling for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and life stress. I support clients across the South West and wider Western Australia, including those living in regional and remote areas, through both in-person and online counselling.
I’m a counsellor who understands that life doesn’t happen in neat categories. Many of the people I work with are navigating trauma, stress, parenting pressures, relationship challenges, or the quiet weight of anxiety, depression, or loneliness, often all at once.
I hold a Master’s qualification in counselling, my most recent work has been in a residential Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) service, supporting individuals experiencing addiction, trauma, and complex mental health challenges. I also facilitate online peer support groups for women and individuals engaging in psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) and integration.
My areas of focus include trauma and PTSD, addiction recovery, anxiety and depression, parenting stress, FIFO lifestyle pressures, and the impacts of stress, loneliness, and mental ill health.
I contributed as a co-author to the NHMRC Clinical Guidelines for MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy, reflecting my commitment to evidence-based and ethically grounded care. I have a particular interest in supporting clients navigating psychedelic integration and emerging therapeutic approaches. I bring lived experience of PTSD, participation in a psychedelic-assisted therapy clinical trial, and navigating mental ill health while raising a family in a regional FIFO lifestyle. This informs a compassionate, grounded, and non-judgemental approach to therapy.
I offer a safe, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, build emotional regulation skills, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.
