Take charge of your response to life

I work on the cause not the symptoms. If you want tips or advice on how to handle a particular problem or situation, I can give you that. However, what is going to have the most impact for a real and lasting change is to address what is causing you to react in a way that doesn’t benefit you. 

Talking about or analyzing a problem can be useful, but it doesn’t necessarily make it go away. We start by looking at your reactions and overreactions to stressful situations as well as the role of cellular memory.

Absolutely! Helping people find good solid relationships is one of my passions.

Not only can I help you figure out what you want in a relationship, but I can help you clear the blockages that have stopped you from attracting a good solid relationship in the past. 

Surprisingly, other people often notice before you do. Because we address issues at the root cause, the shifts are cellular, so your behaviour will change automatically as new neural pathways are created. 

You may hear people say something like: “You know, normally you would react by doing X behaviour, but you don't seem to react in the same way any more” or “something is different about you". The shift is subtle but profound.

Some people notice a change right away; for others it takes a bit longer. The thing to remember is that once an issue is cleared, you will naturally change. It’s not a mental process and you don’t need to think about it or really understand it for it to work.

Most of us have blind spots when it comes to learning. It could be reading and writing, mathematics, the discipline of homework, or something about the learning environment itself that causes stress. 

I work with individuals who are still dealing with reactions to bad experiences they had when they were in school. Rather than letting those past negative experiences make us feel stupid or inadequate, there are ways we can deal with and clear up those learning challenges without pain or embarrassment.

All issues, physical, emotional, mental, and often health issues, are symptoms of something deeper. Pain is your body’s way of telling you there’s something that you need to pay attention to.

Don’t stop seeing your GP. I work alongside doctors and other medical practitioners to take a holistic approach to take care of the mind, body, and spirit. We will look at your emotional health; your overall well-being. Often a health issue is a stress response. This is especially true of problems like migraines, chronic fatigue, depression and anxiety.

Yes. It is a little easier if we’ve already worked together face to face, or if you are familiar with my work. However, it can work with new clients depending on the issue we are working on. 

Online sessions can be somewhat different than in person, but the results are the same. We can do a free short consultation call to discuss what would be best for you.

I hold a Diploma of Counselling, a Vocational Graduate Diploma of Grief and Loss Counselling, and a Diploma of Social Services.

I have been a counsellor in private practice for over 30 years.

In addition to traditional counselling, I have accumulated tools from many disciplines along the way.
I am a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a One Brain System Practitioner and trained in a variety of Energy Psychology techniques such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)  and TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique).

No. Unfortunately Medicare does not recognize counsellors, only registered psychologists.
