What to Expect in a Counselling Session

Forget the movie cliché—our sessions are more like a relaxed chat with a trusted ally who happens to have some solid tools to help you reach your goals. Your comfort is my priority (physical and emotional), and I will walk beside you every step of the way. Therapy is a guilt-free, shame-free zone—it’s all about growth and support.

PJs and a cuppa? Yes, go ahead !!!

Settle in on your couch, by the beach, or anywhere you feel at ease—just make sure you have a private space with a strong reliable connection. A snoozing pet nearby is always a bonus!

FYI: The local private outdoor sessions… will require normal street clothes be warn !!

  •  In our first session, we’ll decide together:

    • Counselling focuses on helping you uncover your own answers—you are your own expert.

    • Coaching provides structure and tools to help you get unstuck and take action now.

  • I also offer training and mentoring to tackle workplace challenges like team dynamics, confidence building, conflict resolution, and managing change. This can be a one-off or ongoing through the employer, or you can see me as a client.

  • If a practical spiritual lens fits your journey, I can include it in our work together. If not, that’s totally fine too.

    With over 25 years of experience in spiritual counselling, coaching, and personal development, I’m here to support you—wherever you are, however it works best for you.

Support Groups

I also run support groups tailored to different needs. These affordable (or in some cases FREE) options are a great way to connect with like-minded people in a safe, understanding environment.

Some groups are online, while others are held in person within the Huon Valley.

If you’d like to join a group, let me know (The contact form is a great way to initially interact) and I will add your name to the waitlist and get in touch when the right group becomes available.

I have a separate page for local Huon Valley groups that will be running in 2025.

Whatever your needs, I’m here to help - let’s find an option that’s best for you!

“Helping people isn’t what I do - it’s who I am.

It all started with a personal journey to better understand myself, and from there, it grew into a desire to support my family and friends.

Now, my focus is on helping others understand who they are, make sense of their thoughts and actions, recognise their strengths, and discovering what they need to thrive. I’m here to guide you through life’s tough moments and help you create a life that feels fulfilling and true to you.”

Diversity and Inclusion

I deeply respect and welcome all clients, regardless of gender, race, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, or spiritual beliefs.

As an LGBTQIA+-aware counsellor who also identifies within the community, I bring curiosity, respect, and a commitment to ongoing learning. While I’m not a specialist, I strive to deepen my understanding through training and by listening to voices within this community.

I encourage clients to share their pronouns, preferred names, cultural needs, and spiritual beliefs—your comfort and authenticity sincerely matter to me. If I ever get it wrong or cause offence, please let me know so I can learn and do better.

I am privileged to live and work on the lands and waterways of the melukurdee people of the Far South. I honour their enduring connection to the land, water, and culture and pay my respects to Elders past and present.
