• I have over 9 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults within the NDIS scheme, leading a team of disability support workers, running organisation programs, training staff and students in person-centred support practices, building social and interpersonal skills, developing interpersonal relationships, life skills, working toward recovery and maintaining recovery, mentoring and building employment skills.

I believe each person has specific needs and goals, as such the therapeutic supports and interventions should be adapted to the person, whilst factoring in all elements of a person's life such as; biology (genes), your development, psychological health, socioeconomic situations, family, cultural backgrounds, religion/spirituality and social and emotional connections. 

I believe in integrative counselling and psychotherapy approaches work best and will draw upon a range of Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Individual Psychology, Reality Therapy, Psychodynamic, Family Systems, psychoeducation and social-emotional skills training.
