Experience
Before qualifying as a counsellor, I enjoyed a fulfilling career in writing, content development, and business entrepreneurship. Alongside this, I pursued my education at esteemed institutions such as Curtin University in Perth, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts, and Swinburne University in Melbourne, where I completed a Graduate Certificate in Digital Media.
Further enriching my knowledge of how people learn, I obtained a Graduate Diploma in Education from Edith Cowan University in Perth and a Cert IV in Training and Assessment from Fortress Learning in Brisbane. These experiences and my diverse professional background underscore my commitment to using knowledge to bring about positive change.
Now, as a counsellor, I blend my wealth of real-world experiences with my academic qualifications to provide you with empathetic and effective therapy. My goal is to support you in navigating life's challenges, guiding you towards a path of fulfilment and personal growth - all at your own pace.
