I am a registered counsellor with Australia’s largest counselling peak body, the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

I offer a calm compassionate space to navigate overwhelm, change, grief, caring responsibilities, and life transitions.

My approach is grounded, relational, and person-centred, with a strong focus on helping people feel heard, supported, and less alone during difficulty seasons of life

Alongside my counselling work, I have extensive experience supporting older adults and working with dementia and aged care settings. This has shaped a deep understanding of the emotional impact that caring, aging, loss, and transition can have on individuals and families. I also support carers and families navigating the complexities of dementia, including stress, exhaustion, anticipatory grief, family change, and transition into residential care.

Outside of counselling, I spend time in my pottery studio, Bramble Pottery, creating handmade pieces. I also enjoy hiking, gardening, the beach, quiet time in nature and of course family.

Grounded Counselling offers support that is gentle, authentic, and tailored to each person’s unique experience.

No GP referral required.

NDIS plan and self-managed clients accepted.

Important Grounded Counselling does not provide emergency crisis care. For life threatening emergencies please call 000 and request either Police or Ambulance assistance. For mental health emergencies contact the mental health triage service on 1314 65. For confidential crisis support call Lifeline on 13 11 14. Both Lifeline and Mental Health Triage can provide support and guidance 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

My mission is to offer compassionate and forward-thinking care that truly empowers each person, honouring their individuality and strengths.

I understand that entering counselling can often bring about feelings of hesitation or uncertainty as taking that first step can feel daunting. It is natural to have questions or concerns about the process and I am here to help make that easier for you. If you are considering therapy but would like more information before making a decision, feel free to reach out  I am happy to set up an appointment or if you would like, we can have a relaxed no obligation short conversation to talk about your needs and how I can support you with the services I offer. This first chat can bring some clarity and help you feel more at ease in deciding whether therapy feels right for you.
