Social Worker, Counsellor · Sydney, NSW · sees clients in Australia, England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, New Zealand and Ireland

I’m a qualified Social Worker and trauma-informed practitioner with nearly 30 years’ experience across counselling, dementia support, hospital and community services, crisis support, and risk assessment for suicide, self-harm and domestic violence. I support adults with relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem, addictions, trauma, abuse, grief, carer stress and major life changes. I have worked across NSW Health, non-profit organisations and the Australian Public Service, and am currently qualifying as a Lifeline crisis supporter. Clients describe my style as warm, relaxed, collaborative and gently humorous. I draw on ACT, mindfulness-based CBT, motivational and interpersonal approaches, using a strengths-based, culturally responsive and trauma-informed lens. I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly, understand what is happening, build on your strengths, develop practical strategies and work toward realistic, meaningful goals.

Works with

Anxiety, Trauma and PTSD, Stress and burnout, Self-esteem and identity, Workplace and career, Addiction and substance use, Women’s mental health, Life transitions, Domestic and family violence, Grief and loss, Older adults and ageing
