I live in the South East of Queensland, in Mount Cotton, Australia with my husband and our beautiful Labradoodle ‘Bodhi’.
I am an EAP Senior Consultant for an international EAP organisation offering telephone counselling services on a part-time basis. I am a private practice Counsellor/Therapist working from my home-based studio with individuals and couples and groups. I am also a Family Constellation Facilitator, facilitating workshops and offer one on one family constellation appointments.
I offer individual therapy, couple therapy, family constellations, meditation, guided imagery, play and symbol therapy, mindfulness, behavioural therapy, CBT, client centred therapy, inner child work and spiritual counselling.
I am a heart centred/intuitive therapist who looks through a systemic lens. It is often said that we cannot heal a person individually, because behind each person is a family system that influences them whether that be consciously or unconsciously.
I completed my Diploma of Counselling in 2004, and worked in private practice with individuals and couples. I then moved into the Women’s Health Sector for an 8 year period employed in varies positions such as a Generalist Counsellor, Group Facilitator, Intake Worker (Crisis Intake) and a Staying Home Leaving Violence Case Manager. I worked with a variety of issues ranging from trauma, domestic violence, grief, family issues, relationship issues, stress, impacted identity and mental health disorders.
In 2010, I completed my Masters degree in Health Science (Sexual Health) with the University of Sydney after recognising the complex sexual needs that were being presented in my counselling room. Studying this degree was an incredible experience.
In 1998, I was introduced to meditation by my husband who studied Yoga in India in the late 1970’s. In 2005 meditation became a topic of interest. I started meditating on a regular basis and became interested in topics such as breath meditation and guided imagery, spirituality, the soul journey and the after life.
In 2007, I started teaching meditation to women; this experience was such a blessing. Facilitating meditation and women’s circles has been an incredible journey. I was blessed to meet some incredible women over a 13 year period.
In 2011, I produced my first meditation CD “The Valley of Silence” and in 2014, I produced another four meditation CD’s focused on spiritual awareness and awakening (to find out more go to the shop).
In 2022, I studied and became qualified to facilitate group and individual systemic family constellations with Yildiz Sethi at Family Constellation Pty Ltd . Family constellations has been a life changing experience personally and professionally. I did another full family constellations training with the Systemic Constellations Academy in 2024. It has not only expanded my knowledge, it has expanded my business to a new level. Working systemically allows so much more to come into the counselling space. It has been so profound, not only for myself, but also for my clients.
I am a free spirit. I love nature and especially love trees. I love being in my garden, this is my happy place. I am creative and I love all animals, and I don’t mind sitting in a comfy chair with a good book. I also create needle felted Ancestral Dolls. Each doll contains plant medicine and many of them honour a time in history that acknowledges the witch era and the grandmothers.
If you are reading this and we come across each other in some way, I hope I impact you in a way that is meaningful and loving.
