Unlock Your Potential with Straight and Narrow Counselling Service
As a Level 4 Clinical Counsellor registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and Clinical registration with Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based support to individuals navigating life’s challenges. With additional qualifications as a Clinical Supervisor, I also mentor fellow practitioners to foster ethical, reflective, and effective counselling practices.
Areas of Specialisation
My practice focuses on:
- Addiction Recovery: Supporting clients to overcome substance use, compulsive behaviours, and process addictions.
- Unwanted Behaviours: Helping individuals manage and replace destructive patterns (e.g., emotional dysregulation, procrastination, self-sabotage) with healthier coping strategies, positive communication techniques, and self-care activities.
- Exploration of Values and Beliefs: Understanding personal values and beliefs fosters self-awareness, and decision-making skills that can positively impact your life.
- General Counselling: Addressing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, and stress to promote holistic wellbeing.
Therapeutic Approach
I blend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to create tailored, goal-oriented interventions. My approach is:
- Collaborative: We’ll work together to identify actionable steps toward your goals.
- Strengths-Based: Focusing on your existing resources and resilience to drive change.
- Practical: Equipping you with tools to reframe unhelpful thoughts and build sustainable solutions tailored to your specific needs.
My Commitment to You
I prioritise creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns openly. Empathy and understanding are at the heart of my practice—I believe trust and mutual respect are essential for meaningful progress. Whether you’re seeking to break free from addiction, regain control of your behaviours, or improve your mental health, I’ll walk alongside you with warmth, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity.
Why Work With Me?
- Dual accreditation with ACA and PACFA ensures adherence to rigorous ethical standards and clinical practices.
- Proficient in both client-facing counselling and clinical supervision.
- Flexible strategies tailored to your unique needs, values, and circumstances.
