ABOUT ME
Empathic and caring support
I am a qualified Relational Gestalt Therapist and Holistic Counsellor with an interest in helping people find greater self acceptance and confidence in life. As a Relational Gestalt Therapist, I believe that as we learn to better connect with our personal truths, we are better able to choose, moment by moment, how we relate to and engage with our world. The therapeutic relationship between therapist and client assists this process.
I have extensive knowledge of the NDIS having worked as a Support Facilitator and Support Coordinator with Partners in Recovery (PIR) from the very beginning of the NDIS trial site here in Newcastle. I worked for many years as a Local Area Coordinator and combine my counselling skills and NDIS knowledge to motivate, empower, and encourage you to get the most out of life.
I have a long history of working in community services roles such as youth work, mental health and disability support roles, and find that an honest and non-judgmental relationship between myself and my client can be the key to change. I am a clear and caring communicator who can assist you to find and use your voice to express the truth of who you are.
This service is a LGBTQIA safe space.
Because people are people... and love is love.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR VISIT
Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Maybe you've been funded for a Psychosocial Recovery Coach and you'd like to get started with your own meaningful recovery. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy and recovery coaching are both processes of growth and self-discovery. In our sessions, I will work with you to identify clear goals based on your values and create workarounds for any barriers that slow you down. We will work collaboratively with your motivation to keep you on track while you discover and build the capacity and resources you need to live life the way you choose.
I'll always encourage you to stick with it even when the going gets tough and celebrate the wins alongside you. I'll provide you with clear information about my fee structure and cancellation policy so there are no surprises and make an ethical commitment to confidentiality and your personal privacy.
In each session the focus is on you.
