About

I believe in walking beside others with compassion, curiosity, and courage.

Rooted in justice, care, and connection, I strive to honour the dignity of all people, animals, and the planet.

I challenge systems that exclude and create spaces where everyone can belong, grow, and thrive.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker offering supportive, practical counselling for clients navigating anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, low mood, big life changes, and the impacts of ongoing stress. I provide a calm, respectful space to build coping skills, strengthen self-understanding, and develop strategies that fit everyday life. I draw on evidence-informed approaches including CBT, psychoeducation, skills training, relaxation strategies, and EMDR-informed resourcing. I also incorporate lifestyle medicine principles as a gentle complement to therapy, including sleep, stress regulation, movement, nourishment, and sustainable routines.

My work is grounded in integrity, driven by purpose, and nourished by creativity and joy. I'm passionate about helping people embrace the interconnected nature of their livesβ€”recognising that work, home, personal values, and professional growth are all intertwined.

My approach is compassionate and inclusive. In addition to my university qualifications, I told hold an Advanced Diploma in BioMedical Yoga, Meditation, & Lifestyle Medicine and a Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis & Strategic Psychotherapy. I have extensive experience integrating traditional psychotherapy with lifestyle and embodied practices, including lifestyle medicine, embodied medicine, compassion focused yoga therapy and meditation.

I provide holistic, supervision, consulting, and mentoring to those who feel pulled in different directionsβ€”helping them integrate their roles, embrace their whole selves, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Whether you are a parent, practitioner, researcher, carer, vet or animal professional, or someone simply figuring things out, my goal is to support you in living a values driven, accessible and authentic life at home, at work and in community, often alongside beloved companion animals.
