Moving Towards a Better Place
With Compassionate counselling for anxiety, depression, grief and life’s harder transitions — structured around what actually helps.
For an Initial Conversation
Telephone and video counselling available Australia-wide, with in-person appointments available in Mornington.
Guided by Empathy and Collaboration
Before becoming a counsellor, I graduated as an electrical engineer and worked in senior roles both nationally and internationally.
As I became more involved in leadership, my curiosity gradually shifted from understanding “how things work” to understanding “how people work”. This led me to complete a Diploma of Counselling and to explore more deeply the nature of relationships, resilience, human behaviour, emotional wellbeing, and personal and spiritual growth.
Every person’s life experience is different, which means there is no single therapeutic approach that will suit everyone. Our first step is therefore to take the time to understand your circumstances, what is important to you and how you would like things to change.

Why the Lotus?
The lotus is a powerful symbol of resilience, growth and transformation. Although its roots are embedded in mud, it rises through the water and opens into a beautiful flower.
In much the same way, difficult experiences can become the source of greater strength, wisdom and compassion. The lotus reminds us that growth does not require a perfect life. It can emerge through anxiety, grief, disappointment, uncertainty and change.
Its petals and leaves also naturally repel water and dirt, symbolising our ability to move through hardship without allowing it to define who we are.
I chose the lotus as the emblem for my counselling practice because it reflects the possibility of healing and personal growth. We each develop in our own way, at our own pace and through our own circumstances. Counselling can help us understand what we have experienced, draw strength from it and move towards a better place.
