About Me

I was born & bred in the Sutherland Shire, with stints in the St George area, Canada, Melbourne & the United Arab Emirates.  This photo is me on To Troy when we won a gold and silver medal at the Australian Masters Games.

My first counselling client was on the 25 May 2005 and have been seeing individuals, couples and families ever since.  I have a Diploma of Applied Holistic Counselling, a Bachelors Degree of Counselling.  Additionally, I am qualified as a clinical supervisor with the ACA College of Supervisors.

The greatest passion I have is working with couples, as I see changes within the first session. Letting both people know they don’t have to ‘solve’ every problem that is spoken about.  Frequently being able to just debrief or verbally vomit, in a non judgmental and respectful place is all that needed.

Here is an article on Relationship Counselling you might find interesting.

Keeping it simple is the key to great communication (the KISS principal).  Men are literal beings, don’t ask a man “can” he take out the rubbish, ask him “will he or would he or I want you to”. That’s the sort of language men understand and will respond to.

Additionally, I am a clinical and professional supervisor, offering individual and group sessions at reasonable and affordable rates.

You might find this on how I work as a Counselling Supervisor of merit.

As a relationship counsellor and counselling supervisor, I believe you are the expert in the room.  My role is to support you in the direction you wish to go.
