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.
