I live, learn, play, learn and work on the beautiful south coast of NSW. I recognise the deep and continuous connection to Country of First Nations Peoples. I acknowledge the Peoples
of the Dharawal and Dhurga language groups of the Shoalhaven and Jervis Bay Territory as rightful custodians of the lands, skies, seas and waterways.
I've worked with community services, not-for-profits, higher education institutions, disaster relief agencies and social enterprises in Australia and the UK. I've offered trauma informed services in diverse contexts including community health, domestic violence, refugee settlement, housing, disability advocacy and palliative care.

You are the expert in your life!
I strive to practice reflexively and relationally with cultural humility, humour and a beginner’s mind. My evolving approach is grounded in humanist therapeutic practices and grows through exploring social constructionism, creative therapies, ecotherapy and neuroscientific research. I respect, and seek opportunities to learn from, First Nations Knowledge and healing practices.
As a values-led counsellor supervisor, imperfect ally and academic educator, I advocate to address systemic and social issues that undermine health across the lifespan, while adhering to respectful and responsive work practices that promote wellbeing and vitality.

My people are from Yorkshire in northern England and I am a "white body" (Menakem, 2021) raised with cisgender (she/her) and heterosexual privilege. Decolonising my practice is an ongoing process of imperfect allyship - connecting, learning, making mistakes, recentering and trying to be/do better.
A qualified, experienced and accredited counsellor supervisor, I attend regular training, mentoring and supervision. I also teach, supervise and learn from postgraduate counselling and psychotherapy students.
The range of what we think and do Is limited by what we fail to notice And because we fail to notice That we fail to notice There is little we can do To change Until we notice How failing to notice Shapes our thought and deeds.
