you're becoming.
You just haven't met
that version of yourself yet.
As a psychotherapist, intuitive life coach and hypnotherapist, I've spent 30 years helping people just like you come home to themselves — understanding your thinking, your emotional triggers, and your choices, so you can connect with what you truly want.
Before you book —
feel who I am.
Choosing a therapist is one of the most personal decisions you'll make. You're trusting someone with the parts of yourself you rarely show anyone.
This short video is here so you can get a sense of my energy, my warmth, and whether this feels like the right fit — before you even pick up the phone.
"You'll know within five minutes of talking to me whether this is right for you. Come and find out."

I grew up reading people
before I knew what that meant.
From a young age, I was deeply intuitive. I grew up in my mum's hairdressing salon, surrounded by women, listening to their stories. I could read their energy, sense what they were feeling, and often tell them things about themselves that would surprise them.
At the time, I didn't realise what it was — I just knew I understood people on a deeper level. I heard what they weren't saying as clearly as what they were.
In my 20s, I faced my own overwhelming crossroads — people-pleasing, relationship uncertainty, and confusion around career direction. I got married young, stepped into the corporate world. But something didn't feel aligned.
At 26, I chose to follow my fascination with the mind.
It changed everything.
I trained. I lived it.
Then I understood it.
I trained in clinical health counselling and hypnotherapy at the Australian Academy of Hypnotic Science — not because it was the obvious path, but because I couldn't imagine any other one.
Through my 30s and 40s, I balanced business, motherhood, relationships, and the pressure of holding it all together. On the outside, high-functioning. On the inside — like many of the women I now work with — moments of overwhelm, emotional burnout, and quietly questioning what came next.
Now in my 50s, everything I've experienced has come together into one clear mission: helping people understand their emotional triggers, behaviours, and patterns — so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to themselves.
Three modalities.
One integrated approach.
I combine counselling, subconscious work, and intuitive guidance to help you uncover what's really driving your thoughts, behaviours, and choices. Together, we explore the deeper patterns keeping you stuck.
Psychotherapy
Intuitive and evidence-based. We explore your thinking, emotional triggers, and the patterns quietly running your life — and we rewrite them together.
Hypnotherapy
Subconscious pattern work. Your conscious mind understands the problem. Your subconscious holds the key. Hypnotherapy reaches where talk therapy often can't.
Intuitive Coaching
From insight to action. Once we understand what's been holding you back, we build clarity, self-trust, and practical tools to move forward — for good.
Don't just take my word for it.

"She sees things in you that you simply cannot see yourself — and somehow that changes everything."
