I am a Certified Counsellor (CPCA) based in Cairns, providing individual counselling for adults and young people aged 14 and over.
I work with people who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck, or navigating significant life changes. This can include stress, trauma, grief and loss, addictions, identity shifts, relationship challenges, ongoing emotional pressure, and periods of heightened distress. I also provide short term crisis support counselling when someone is going through an acute or destabilising period and needs steady, structured support. I support NDIS participants where counselling is an appropriate part of their plan.
My approach is trauma informed and grounded in practical, evidence-based therapies including CBT, solution focused therapy, Gestalt therapy, and emotionally focused work. I aim to provide a calm and steady space where you can talk openly about what is happening in your life, make sense of it, and begin building realistic strategies that actually fit your circumstances.
I understand that many people come to counselling feeling exhausted or unsure where to start. Sessions are collaborative and paced in a way that feels manageable. The focus is not on labels or quick fixes, but on helping you feel more regulated, clear, and confident in how you move forward.
Sessions are available in person in Cairns and via secure telehealth. After hours and limited weekend appointments are available.
Areas of support may include:
🔵 stress and burnout
🔵 anxiety and emotional regulation
🔵 low mood and loss of motivation
🔵 identity and life transitions
🔵 boundary challenges
🔵 coping with complex life circumstances
My approach is non-judgemental and supportive. I do not rush the process or impose solutions. I work alongside clients to help them gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction.

Welcome to Evolving Change, the social work and counselling business that I created to work with people in a holistic, non-judgemental way, to promote wellbeing in the community, one person at a time. Interest in all areas of Mental Health
I was born and raised in Cairns, which means I have extensive knowledge of the area and the support services available to my clients. I take great pride in connecting my clients with this network to deliver a true wrap-around support service.
Since achieving my Bachelor’s degree in 2020 I have been delivering holistic support services to clients in Cairns , and beyond, and am passionate about drawing on my own lived experience and challenges to enrich my interactions with every client.
You will see that my logo represents the sun setting over the mountains. This is based on an image from the area I grew up in where you often see stunning sunsets. The sunset is representative of many important ideas with counselling, especially, closing a chapter, renewal and growth and, of course, new beginnings.
I understand that reaching out for help is hard and a difficult step to take, but if you are looking for a professional counsellor who will support you in a warm, understanding way with significant experience and extensive qualifications, I look forward to hearing from you.
I provider services in Cairns City to Gordonvale and Tele-health to other areas. Can meet at the office in the city, walk & talk at an outdoor setting of your choice and also offer home visits.

Expressive arts therapy, eco therapy/nature healing, and a combination of both, available to children, adolescents, adults, and small groups.
Eco Art therapy is a gentle way to work on habitual patterns of thought and behaviour which are causing disharmony, to reduce anxiety levels, to attend to trauma, to build self-confidence/sense of agency, develop communication/emotional intelligence and social skills, and to learn new ways of regulating the nervous system.
At Innerbloom Art Therapy, we combine the arts and nature into psychotherapy (talk-therapy), offering opportunities to connect to the natural world, to develop self-awareness through exploration, expression, and growth.
Combining nature into the creative process, clients may explore new ways of considering different situations and gain new perspectives that help them to move forward into the future with a healthier self & world-view.
Within a nurturing therapeutic relationship, expressive arts offer a way to connect to the Self, and to communicate in ways which often cannot be put into words through visual art-making, sand-play, sculpting, ephemeral eco-art, drama, play-based, and movement modalities.
Trauma-informed, client-centred services are NDIS eligible for clients who are self or plan managed, where-by together we may develop a tailor-made therapeutic plan for individual sessions that attend to both plan and personal goals.
While I am not a registered NDIS provider at this stage, services are NDIS eligible for plans that are self-managed or managed by a support coordinator.
I also offer zoom sessions and can offer in-person sessions at an indoor location.
