About my practice

My counselling practice specialises in the life experiences of grief, loss and change and searching for meaning and purpose.

After an extensive career in education, I completed qualifications in Experiential and Creative Arts Therapies and Grief and Bereavement Interventions.  I am a Practitioner Associate counsellor with the Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement (ACGB) and am accredited as a Certified Bereavement Practitioner (CBP) through the ACGB.  I am a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (Lvl3) and I am also a registered creative arts therapist with the Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association. 

I draw upon a range of counselling approaches  including  Person Centred Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, Creative Arts Therapy and Mindfulness Based Meditation, Self Compassion and Cognitive Therapy.

​I have rooms in Daylesford, Trentham and Gisborne.  I offer home and hospital visits as well as online video counselling.
