About Me

I am a psychologist based in Terrigal, New South Wales, providing counselling for a wide range of concerns, including life transitions, anxiety, grief and loss, mood disorders, and relationship difficulties. I work with individuals and couples, helping you better understand your challenges while building practical coping strategies and clear, achievable steps towards lasting change.

Approach

Sessions take place in my Gosford practice, where I offer a calm, supportive space to explore your experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we'll make sense of the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical, manageable strategies to help you move forward. Between sessions, I may suggest simple tools or exercises, and we'll regularly review what’s working so your progress feels meaningful and sustainable.
