Reflecting on my Clinical Counselling practice in 2025 ...

This year, a significant part of my practice again involved bringing healing to clients navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, with many referrals from Policing, Corrective Services, Qld Health and Work Cover, with over 1000 client contact hours. Again, I’ve been reminded that people don’t come to therapy because they’re “broken”—they come because they’re human, and because life can become heavy, confusing, or overwhelming.

I completed my graduate studies in Professional Supervision, adding more depth of skills and knowledge to the supervision side of my work.

I also gained providers' numbers for all major Australian private health funds.

To every client who trusted me with your story and healing journey last year: thank you. I look forward to continuing to provide quality clinical counselling again in 2026.

Year in Review. It has been another busy season. In addition to working with over 1,000 clients this year, I did some further university research on psychopathologies and addictions. I also upgraded my Gottman Couples Counselling training to level two. It has been a real privilege to get so many life-changing testimonies, especially using the Richards Trauma Process (TRTP ) modality for anxiety, depression and PTSD.

I love my job! It’s not every day you get to go to Prison (and get back out again) and have worked with 28 great people on the journey. A big shout out to the officers at Qld Corrective services and the Tactical Response Team... Doing a hard job in a difficult environment.

Studies show that taking pictures of memorable moments instead of simply enjoying them actually makes those moments less impactful.
