About me
I completed my studies in Australia (Bachelor of psychological Science and a Masters in Social Work). For the past 7 years I have been providing psychological support in tertiary mental health settings, universities, schools and private practice. Alongside counselling, I facilitate mental health and well-being workshops in partnership with International Universities and Schools around the globe.
As someone who understands the complexities of living and working abroad, I support ex-pats, students and young professionals navigating the challenges they face with culture shock, immigration and adjusting to a new environment. I support those who may be struggling with school/university or workplace related anxiety, stress and burnout. I support in building positive coping strategies and resilience for long lasting well-being.
I have a keen interest in people and how we make meaning of our individual world and the world in relation to others. I enjoy reading philosophy, sociology and critical theory - all of which influence my practice as a counsellor. I am always learning and growing and believe this is an on-going process for myself and my clients alike.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
My approach is client-centred, meaning that I always strive to give you the space to write your own story and to feel empowered in it.
It is important to me to create a space that is authentic, non-judgemental and anti-oppressive. I use a blended approach in sessions, drawing upon a range of therapies and frameworks depending on your needs and preference. Most commonly, I use CBT and third wave CBT modalities (ACT and DBT) as well as stress management strategies and emotional regulation strategies. I am a firm believer in curious exploration, but also that therapy cannot work without healthy challenging, so you can expect this in a session with me.
I have experience with a variety of presentations including anxiety, low-mood & depression, burnout and stress, culture shock, perfectionism, emotional regulation, self-harm, panic, low self-esteem and LGBTQI+ & identity concerns.
