I am credentialed in Australia with many years of professional and life experience. My focus is guiding clients through what they maybe experiencing at the time in an empathic, safe and non-judgemental space. This may include coping with addictions, LGBTIQ+ related services, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, motivation & self esteem. I believe each person are the expert of their own story and that everyone has strengths that will assist them in overcoming situations that may be challenging . It takes courage to seek out your true self and strive for a more authentic life. Hopefully working together I can support & empower you in your journey. Change starts here.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
