About me

I do what I love, and I love what I do.

I am an experienced and qualified counsellor, with a Graduate Diploma of Counselling from the Australian College of Applied Psychology. I have received additional professional training in a variety of mental health issues, including suicide prevention, domestic violence, self-harm and dementia, amongst others. I am a member of Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. I work according to high ethical standards, with respect to confidentiality, cultural diversity, and I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds.

My rich life experience has equipped me with a unique combination of skills that give me an enhanced ability to understand and support you as my client. I use my personal qualities of compassion, intellect and efficiency as a foundation on which to build a supportive and productive counselling practice.

Before I heartily settled into my work as a counsellor, I gained a Masters degree in electrical engineering and worked as an engineer for five years. This experience helped me to develop strong analytical and logical skills. My interest in human relationships led me to undertake additional training, and I subsequently moved into human resource management role for more than ten years. Through those years, I gained solid practice in conflict resolution and mediation and supported hundreds of people through a great variety of life situations. Today, I use my analytical skills when my clients are looking for a solution-focused problem-solving approach to counselling. My human resource experience is an asset if you are looking for a different perspective on your life, or would like to restore a balance in your relationships.

In my free time I read books, enjoy time with my family and take photos of the clouds above my head. My life, like everyone else’s, is a balancing act and I am glad to offer my own expertise and knowledge to others as we figure out together what is unique about your own struggle and skill set. I feel privileged to work with all of my clients, and will assist you on your pathway to positive changes in your life, as well.
