Trauma-Informed Counselling for Anxiety, C-PTSD, Relationships & More
If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed or stuck, you’re in the right place.
If life currently feels challenging or overwhelming and you’re in need of someone who listens without judgment and a safe space to share your worries or challenges — let’s talk.
As a qualified and registered ACA Counsellor, I specialise in helping people who struggle with:
Anxiety and chronic stress
Trauma and C-PTSD (complex PTSD) and PTSD
Self-esteem and confidence
Communication difficulties
Relationship and couples issues (Gottman Method)
Defence and First Responder trauma Burnout
Men's issues (anxiety, depression, emotional repression)
Burnout
Attachment issues
Shame and guilt
ADHD
My approach is straightforward: I believe each person is the expert in their own life.
You bring your experience and self-knowledge; I bring my knowledge of how change happens. Together, we work as a team to create the change you need.
Ninety percent of people are affected by trauma in some way, whether it's obvious ‘Big T’ trauma from specific events, or the quieter ‘little t’ trauma of not feeling seen, heard, or valued growing up. The accumulation of 'little ts' over a lifetime can affect us just as deeply as a single traumatic event, and they deserve the same attention and care
Some of the tools in my toolbox include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help shift unhelpful thought patterns
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to build psychological flexibility
Parts work to understand and integrate different parts of yourself
Person Centred Therapy to create a safe, non-judgmental space
Gottman Method for couples working to rebuild connection
Breathwork
But more than any specific method, what I offer is a space where you don't have to have it all figured out, where your struggles are valid, and where asking for help isn't weakness, it's strength.
I didn't take a traditional path to becoming a counsellor, and that's exactly what gives me a unique perspective.
I spent 10 years working in IT before joining the NSW Police Force, where I served for 9 years in General Duties and as a Detective in Sydney. I attended some of life's most difficult situations, including traumatic scenes and suicides that most people will never encounter.
I left policing because I realised I wanted to help people earlier in their journey, before they reached the crisis points I was responding to.
My police experience gave me invaluable insight into:
• How trauma really works and shows up in people's lives
• The importance of creating genuine safety and trust
• What it means to hold space for people in their darkest moments
• How to stay grounded when emotions run high
I've also walked my own path of healing. I know what it's like to feel lost and directionless, to go through the motions of life without knowing who I really was, or believing my needs mattered.
That personal journey, combined with my professional training and experience, means I bring both understanding and practical tools to help you move forward in the way you need.
