Who I work with
Children & Adolescents · Parents & Caregivers · Adults · Clinical Supervision
I work with kids using play, creativity, and evidence-based approaches - helping them find ways to express what they're feeling, build resilience, and develop the skills to cope with anxiety, grief, and trauma.
I work with parents and caregivers too, because the most powerful change often happens not just with the child, but within the family. That means helping parents understand their child's experience, building capacity to respond to their needs, and where needed, advocating within schools and collaborating with other professionals to make sure a child has genuine wrap around support.
I also work with adults - particularly parents and working professionals navigating the long reach of childhood trauma, attachment difficulties, or relational challenges that show up in their mental health and everyday lives.
And I offer clinical supervision, because supporting the people who do this work matters. Throughout my career I've been fortunate to have access to good quality supervision, mentorship, and support - and I know firsthand how important it is to feel held and supported when you're navigating the complexity of this work. I supervise social workers, counsellors, and play therapists, particularly those working with children and families, whether you're working towards AMHSW accreditation, play therapist registration, or simply wanting a space that's warm, reflective, and genuinely useful for your practice.
In person in Wheelers Hill. Online across Victoria.
How I can help:
Children & Adolescents
For children and young people experiencing anxiety, big feelings, trauma, grief, behavioural challenges, or the effects of family change - including children with diagnoses such as ADHD and Autism.
Using play therapy and counselling, I create a safe, child-led space where young people can express what they may not yet have words for - and begin to feel understood, settled, and more themselves.
Parent Support
For parents who want to understand what's really going on with their child -and feel more confident and connected in how they respond.
We'll explore what your child's behaviour is communicating, how their development, temperament, and experiences are shaping the way they're showing up, and practical ways to support them at home. Many parents find that as their understanding deepens, their relationship with their child shifts -and so does the behaviour.

Adult Counselling
For adults exploring how their own early experiences and attachment history may be shaping their relationships, their parenting responses, or their emotional world today.
We work at a pace that feels right for you - through talking, or for those drawn to it, through creative and expressive approaches including sand tray and art-based work.
Clinical Supervision
For social workers, counsellors, and therapists working in child and family practice. Reflective supervision grounded in attachment theory and trauma-informed practice

At the heart of my work is a genuine belief that our thoughts, feelings and behaviour always makes sense in context - and that when we are supported to understand that context, we can then start to move forward.
