HOW I WORK

My work is grounded in a deeply integrated therapeutic framework, informed by over a decade of practice across counselling, education, student wellbeing, advocacy, and community-based settings. Alongside this breadth of experience, I hold a strong professional interest and commitment to trauma-informed practice, particularly in understanding how trauma, grief, and adversity shape identity, relationships, and meaning over time.

I draw from:

• Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)

• Trauma-informed and attachment-oriented therapy

• Person-centered and humanistic counselling

• Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) informed

• Existential and meaning-focused approaches

• Narrative therapy

• Somatic and body-based awareness

• Expressive and creative practices

• Gestalt-informed relational work

• Feminist and social-justice-informed perspectives

• LGBTQIA+ affirmative practice

• Transcultural mental health perspectives

Rather than applying techniques in isolation, these approaches are integrated responsively, allowing therapy to meet what is emerging in the moment. Sessions may involve conversation, reflective silence, gentle body awareness, creative expression, or making sense of lived experience over time.

This practice is NDIS-accessible (self-managed), and therapy is offered via telehealth or virtual sessions, supporting clients with diverse abilities and circumstances and, enabling therapy to reach people who might otherwise face barriers.
