About Me
I believe in the power of connection and kindness—whether it’s offering a hug to someone in need or checking in with a stranger who looks lost or sad. These small acts remind me of the strength we all have when we feel seen and supported. That’s the foundation of my work as a counselor: creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Living with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia (AUDHD), I know what it’s like to struggle in a world that doesn’t always understand difference. I left school early, started working as a tradesperson at 15, and by 20, I was running my own business, hiring people who had been overlooked by the system. For over 20 years, I built businesses and helped others find their place—but I always felt something was missing.
That something was helping people more directly. After experiencing severe trauma and crippling anxiety, I reached a point where I didn’t know how to keep going. Seeking help led me to ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), a mindfulness-based approach that transformed my life. ACT helped me move past my struggles by focusing on what truly matters to me, even when life felt overwhelming. It taught me how to embrace my challenges rather than fight them, and to take small, meaningful steps toward the life I wanted. These tools not only saved me—they’ve allowed me to thrive.
Now, I help others discover how ACT and mindfulness can work for them. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, feeling stuck, or struggling with life’s challenges, I’ll guide you to uncover what’s important to you and take actionable steps to get there. With ACT, you’ll learn to handle difficult thoughts and feelings in a healthier way, freeing up energy to focus on the things that truly matter. This isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you see that you already have the strength to move forward.
For NDIS participants, my focus is on helping you build skills and confidence to live a more fulfilling life. Together, we can work on emotional regulation, building resilience, developing coping strategies, and creating a vision for your future that aligns with your values. ACT’s practical, easy-to-learn tools can make everyday challenges feel less overwhelming, allowing you to feel more in control of your life.
If you’ve been feeling lost, misunderstood, or unsure of your next step, I want you to know that change is possible. With the right support and tools, you can live a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are. I’d love to help you get there.
