About Me.

Over my life I have seen many people struggle with terrible difficulties. This has ranged from significant ill health or injury, anxiety and depression, dealing with grief and loss, marriage breakdown, children with problems, workplace bullying and burnout, economic poverty, domestic violence, suicide, and overwhelming crises. As time went on, it was clear that more and more people were being diagnosed with a mental health issue. But often they would never talk about this because of the stigma attached to it, or they just didn't know who to turn to.

​

When I retired a few years ago, I decided to take action. I completed by Graduate Diploma in Counselling in May, 2025. I am working towards my Masters in Counselling, hoping to finish at the end of 2026.

​

I am registered with the Australian Counselling Association as a Level 1 counsellor. I will not be able to offer counselling to highly complex clients, such as people with severe mental health issues. 

​

I have set my fees low so as not to add an extra burden to those already in pain. Please feel free to contact me. If I can help, I will certainly try for you.
