I have learned a great deal from my clients about grief, and what may help them most in their most challenging times.

I take a deeply empathetic, person-centered and existential approach to grief counselling. My practice comes from a trauma-informed and inclusive perspective, using techniques drawn from cognitive behaviour therapies, mindfulness, and body-focused therapies.

I provide a safe and nurturing counselling space, located in the foothills of Hobart, where people experiencing grief and bereavement can find solace in exploring their most profound emotions and thoughts. Within this sanctuary, I offer an opportunity for you to navigate the complexities of grief, the intricate web of your relationships with others and, perhaps most importantly, your relationship with yourself. Grief counselling offers a place to seek not just comfort, but the hope and meaning that can be found amidst the anguish of loss and grief. I extend my hand, heart, and unwavering support to you on this challenging journey, offering empathy and understanding in difficult times.

My personal journey in grief and bereavement has come from my own lived experience. I know intimately what it means to care for a loved one living through a debilitating and life-threatening illness, and I have personally walked the arduous path of a cancer diagnosis, accompanied by the trauma and grief that experience can bring.

My professional journey as a grief counsellor began with a career in general practice nursing, which led me to complete a Master of Counselling at UTAS. I am also a registered member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). I have an unwavering commitment to supporting people who are caring for loved ones, and I have worked with Carers Tasmania supporting family caregivers. I am currently working towards certification as a grief and bereavement counsellor through Grief Australia.
