ABOUT ME
I have over 15 years of counselling experience in a variety of settings, using talk therapies and the principles of Neuropsychotherapy. My counselling client base include forensic clients, FRV clients, medical and nursing personnel, government workers, mental health workers, trauma clients, various addictions and mental health presentations.
I have worked within pastoral settings, lectured in a college at graduate and post-graduate level for 7 years, and worked for a community not-for-profit agency. I have been in private practice for 8 years and facilitate 1-1 supervision and coaching sessions.
My experience also extends to the fitness industry having spent many years as a personal trainer with an understanding of nutrition and fitness and how essential they are to one's life. I have a strong belief that a holistic approach is critical to physical, emotional wellbeing and brain health.
In recent years, I have incorporated Brainspotting - an innovative, cutting-edge therapy to move people toward optimal functioning. Brainspotting reaches into areas of the brain that talk therapies are unable to influence, enabling clients to live their best life NOW. Brainspotting shifts the brain out of irrational fears, addictions, PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders and resolves trauma.
Brainspotting is a gentle, life-changing therapy, and the unique process continues beyond the therapeutic encounter.

Brainspotting - innovative cutting-edge therapy!!
Brainspotting focuses on releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation, anxiety, PTSD and a variety of other challenging symptoms including overcoming addictions.
Brainspotting works with the deep-brain and the body by accessing the autonomic and limbic systems within the central nervous system.
The focus is on transformational healing of the mind, body and spirit. A holistic approach that goes to the core of what is blocking the ability to achieve goals and live one's best life now.
