I am glad you have found your way here.

A few fun facts about me

I was raised in Africa, lived in the UK, and now am loving being in Australia.

I am a holistic counsellor, traveller, photographer, chef, adorer of dogs, and a conflict facilitator-in-training.

My calling to be a counsellor came in the form of arthritis. It boldly interrupted my career as a photographer and chef, and redirected my work to see the inner light in people.

I’m an animist and I genuinely believe in nature being wise - I talk to trees. And animals.

Travelling is one of my big joys in life - I recently returned from trips to Japan, China, Spain, Morocco, and the UK.

I experienced trauma via displacement and it created a big interest in me of what home is, both as a place and in coming home in ourselves.

My super powers are calmness, cooking brunches, baking cakes, and giving sweet dogs lots of compliments.

“So peace is not a place you arrive at.
Peace is accepting things for what they are. Character is how one perceives the circumstances, and personality is what one does with them. To find peace is to realise the value and necessity of impermanence in everything. To know impermanence one knows loss and pain. To have overcome loss, one becomes familiar with joy. To accept joy, one believes in and acts with love.”
— Journalled by my 25 year old self.

How am I a counsellor?

I have completed a master’s in counselling (holistic practice) degree with the Metavision Institute. As well as training in sensorimotor guided drawing. I am currently training in somatic ecotherapy, and with ANZPOP to complete a diploma (Professional PhD level) of process oriented psychology.

 Currently I work part-time as a torture and trauma counsellor for refugees.

These are my promises to you.

Your grief is welcome here. I witness daily the power that comes with being with sadness and despair. You are safe here and your tears are welcome.

I believe in you. My role is support you and be your cheerleader. Even when you might not trust yourself, I will offer you trust.

I intend to offer a safe enough space, integrity, healthy boundaries, and heart-felt transparency, where you feel seen, heard, and inherently respected.

help them shine

Rescue animals are more likely to be adopted quicker if their photos reflect their personality. I offer one free photo shoot a week to take profile photos for rescue animals that are looking for their loving forever home.
