Philosophy & Vision
My passion is to help individuals and their families connect through the crisis of addiction and recovery. With an extensive background in addictions, my knowledge of the topic reaches beyond the norm having lived my own personal experience seeking help and residential rehabilitation for a drug and alcohol addiction and deteriorating mental health as a young adult. I seek to establish a safe therapeutic relationship, and work toward finding a better way forward with what may be troubling you in your life.
Services
Payment structure will depend on your plan.
Self-Managed: If you are self-managed, you will need to pay for your counselling session at the time of your appointment then apply for a reimbursement from the NDIS.
Plan Managed: If you are plan managed, we will invoice your plan manager and you will not have to worry about upfront payment on the day.

Therapy Approach
I work mainly as a person-centred counsellor but integrate other approaches when appropriate and helpful. Person-centred therapy is based on the philosophy that each human being is of value and has the potential for psychological change, growth and increased personal fulfilment. I seek to establish a safe therapeutic relationship in order to help resolve whatever troubles the client, and work toward finding a better way forward in their life.
