My Story

My favourite thing about being a counsellor:

Every day, I meet the most amazing people. Many of them have gone through trauma, dealing with their mental health and often struggle to support their children with mental health concerns. I believe that these are the bravest people I have ever encountered. Being able to journey with these bold, courageous people through their struggles makes me feel incredibly fortunate.

​

What is unique about me as a counsellor?

I own my mistakes - apologise when I'm wrong, and I'm not afraid to say I'm still learning. 

​

What are my goals?

I want to ensure everyone has access to mental health support, no matter where you are or where you come from. 

​

Most impressive Achievements?

In early high school, my maths teacher suggested I drop maths because she believed I would never pass my final year. She told me that I was not smart enough to finish school. - I finished year 12 with a great result.

A career coach suggested I took up a trade and believed I would never get through uni. I finished studying with three distinctions and an awarded the most dedicated student.

My enrolment at a web design college was rejected. I managed to land a job where I had the opportunity to teach myself web design ( with all the HTML, CSS, and PHP coding). I later built a web design and online marketing company helping small businesses build their online presence.

​

One quirky fact about me?

I live with a family of pranksters.
