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.
