You are not alone anymore!I am a qualified counsellor based in Australia with six years of professional counselling experience. I work with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, trauma, difficult relationships, grief and loss, low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional abuse or domestic violence.
I also have a particular interest in supporting people living with chronic illness, including those navigating fatigue, pain, complex health conditions, or the uncertainty that can come with seeking answers and adjusting to life changes.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I believe each person is the expert on their own life, and my role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you better understand yourself, identify your strengths, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I tailor therapy to your individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. I aim to have sessions that are airy , and showing you tools and techniques to use for the rest of your life. I was born in France and lived in different countries in my life so understand the challenges to fit in a new culture.
Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially when you have been carrying difficulties on your own for a long time. Taking that first step takes courage, and I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you work towards greater clarity, confidence, and wellbeing.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
