About Me

As both the director and a practitioner, I bring a wealth of diverse experience to my counselling practice. My background includes working in community services, health, employment, and martial arts, where I have supported clients as a counsellor, mentor, trainer, and coach.

My counselling style is characterised as authentic, creative, and non-judgmental, and I prioritise creating a comfortable and safe environment for clients to express themselves. While primarily using a person-centred approach, I also incorporate creative strategies to achieve optimal outcomes for my clients.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Tao & Mind – The word “Tao” means the “way” or “path,” and in our services, we focus on facilitating a journey where the person will uncover their true self that will be in line and harmonious with their beliefs and values.

This will lead to the person being able to live to the fullest and a life of passion and purpose.

MY QualificationS

My commitment to continuous personal and professional development through regular training, education, and mentoring programs, means that my clients also benefit with up-to-date, relevant and practical information. Outside of my practice, I’m passionate about learning, travel, culture and health & wellness. I am an accomplished Martial Artist. Some of my notable personal and professional achievements are, being recognised as Adult Educator of the Year by the SA Government and competing at the Abu Dhabi World Pro for Jiu Jitsu.
