CHANGE BEGINS WITH A CONVERSATION
MY APPROACH
Through years of practice, I’ve learned that change arises from exploring our inner world — the private space where we make sense of emotion, relationship, and meaning. And, as the famous Greek philosopher, Socrates, said, “The unexamined life is not worth living".
My work integrates Western and Eastern approaches, grounded in reflection and compassion, to help clients find renewal and clarity through an examination and understanding of themselves.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Counselling often begins with a quiet need to understand what feels out of balance — a wish to make sense of confusion, distress, or disconnection. It’s a deeply personal process, shaped by honesty, respect, and a shared intention to look beneath the surface of experience.
In the initial session, we’ll talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to change. It’s also a space to ask questions, clarify expectations, and get a sense of how we might work together.
“It begins with an exploration of your inner world — the private space where experience, emotion, and meaning meet. Through therapy, this exploration becomes a path toward renewal, clarity, and change.”

CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT
All that is discussed and shared in our sessions remains strictly confidential.
I will only discuss these matters with my clinical supervisor, as this is an ongoing requirement for maintaining professional registration with the peak professional body of Psychotherapy and Counselling in Australia (PACFA). However, there are exceptions when I am legally required to break confidentiality:
When there is a court order to disclose relevant issues.
If there is child abuse or neglect.
If there is an imminent threat of a serious nature to another person’s life.
If there are indications of suicidal intent or serious self-harm, our confidentiality agreement will not be broken. However, I would discuss the possibility of consulting with your treating doctor (GP) or making a referral.
