Philosophy & Vision
Sharing your inner thoughts and experiences with another can feel like a risky step to take but it can also be a relief to receive support and professional guidance with the issues that confuse you, challenge you, overwhelm you or where you feel stuck.
My style of counselling/therapy aims to firstly connect with you as an individual and then to understand and work with the issues you are facing to unfold ways to move forward and experience change.
Background
I have worked as a counsellor and therapist for over 25 years and at Sydney University for 12 years. I have extensive experience working with inter & intra cultural issues which is complemented by my bi-cultural background. I have also worked counselling teenagers in programs aimed at diverting youth from the criminal justice system and in the area of child protection. It has always moved my heart to be part of another's courageous journey of gradually opening themselves towards change.

Therapy Approach
I work from an emotion focused counselling perspective and utilise clients strengths and honour their differing desired levels of therapeutic intervention.
