- AASW
I am a qualified Mental Health Social Worker and Mental Health Clinician with experience providing therapeutic support to people experiencing a range of mental health and emotional challenges. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, family concerns, and eating and body image concerns.
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a warm, respectful and non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based practice.
Taking the first step towards seeking support can be difficult, and I am here to walk alongside you at your own pace. Together, we can explore what you are experiencing, build on your strengths, and work towards greater wellbeing and meaningful change.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
