Counselling Redlands 

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

​

I’m an experienced counsellor based in the Redlands, with a focus on helping individuals and couples navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and relationship challenges. For more than seven years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people in my local community, and I’m also proud to offer online counselling services to clients across Australia.

​

The relationship between you and your counsellor is at the heart of effective therapy. Research shows that when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood, the possibility for growth and healing becomes so much greater. That’s why I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are and share what’s on your heart. Finding the right counsellor isn’t always instant - it can take a few sessions. To help you decide if I’m the right fit for you, let me share a little more about myself.

​

Life hasn’t always been easy for me. I’ve faced significant challenges, starting from a young age, and these experiences have deeply shaped who I am today. They’ve taught me resilience, compassion, and the importance of finding support when life feels overwhelming. My own healing journey is what brought me to this work, and I feel truly grateful to walk alongside others as they find their way through life’s difficulties.

​

As a counsellor, I approach my work with empathy and understanding, always recognising the unique strengths and potential within each person I meet. I believe that with the right skills, coping strategies, and support, we all have the ability to move through even the toughest of times and rediscover what it means to live fully.  Over time, I’ve developed a special passion for helping couples. Relationships are at the core of so much in our lives, and I know how essential a strong, loving partnership is in navigating life’s inevitable challenges. This passion has driven me to pursue advanced studies in relationship therapy, so I can better support couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or in conflict.

​

To ensure I provide the best care possible, I remain dedicated to continuous learning through attending professional development, and consulting with trusted supervisors in my areas of focus. This keeps my approach fresh, relevant, and grounded in the latest research.

​My primary therapeutic approaches in life and marriage counselling draw upon the following evidence-based modalities: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Gottman Couples Method, including Affair Recovery and Clinical Trauma Certification.  Some of the trainings I have completed and my memberships/accreditations can be found below.

*Research shows that lived-experience practitioners are uniquely situated to understand the difficulty involved in engaging in therapy and may use their experiential knowledge to connect with patients. Their insights into suffering allow them to become highly understanding, compassionate, and empathetic practitioners (Adame, 2014; Gelso & Hayes, 2007; Gilbert & Stickley, 2012; Goldberg et al., 2015).
