General Info

[AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE SESSIONS] I provide professional counselling to help with stress, anxiety and depression, which could be related to life transitions such as migration or returning home from life overseas, relationship crisis, grief, loss, and career change. Any kind of change, loss or transition can be overwhelming - I help clients safely work through the challenging and tricky emotions that might come up during these experiences. Counselling helps 'change' become 'opportunity': a call to make new sense of the world, cultivate richer self-understanding, and foster growth in behaviour and relationships. I pay deep non-judgmental attention to clients' stories. With an understanding that people exist in a network of relationships, I utilise various therapeutic techniques to help clients come to their own realisations. I offer short-term goal-oriented counselling and longer-term therapy, or a combination of the two. I am open to engaging with clients' unique philosophical or spiritual perspectives.
