I am a fully qualified and Registered Counsellor with an Australian Counselling Association-accredited Diploma of Counselling. Other certifications include Working with Children Micro Credential (Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors). I have lived experience as a family member and in my own right across many areas including anxiety, depression, women's issues, parenting, pregnancy loss
, grief, work stress and others. With almost two decades of experience working in the social services sector and a broad range of life circumstances, my breadth of knowledge and understanding is invaluable when working with people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. In my role as a Counsellor for Blue Harbour Counselling, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches including Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, including Mindfulness-Based Therapies. My understanding of the NDIS comes from working as an Early Childhood Practitioner for Wanslea Family Services and as a Support Coordinator for St. Jude’s Health Services and Hera Support. I also have experience in workshop facilitation, and coaching individuals across the lifespan.
