What do you love most about your job?
What I love most is seeing people reconnect with themselves, find clarity, and feel empowered again. It's a privilege to walk alongside someone in their healing journey and witness meaningful change unfold — whether it’s reduced anxiety, stronger relationships, or a renewed sense of purpose.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to create a space where people felt truly seen, supported, and safe — especially those who might not connect with traditional therapy settings. My passion for holistic mental health, combined with a background in education and equine therapy, led me to build a service that integrates nature, nervous system awareness, and evidence-based practices.
Why should our clients choose you?
My clients choose me for my warm, down-to-earth approach and ability to hold a safe, trauma-informed space. I offer flexible, personalised counselling with a range of options — in-room, online, and on the farm with equine-assisted sessions. I combine clinical skills with real-life empathy, always meeting people where they are.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I offer secure and confidential online counselling sessions via telehealth for individuals and couples across Australia. This option is perfect for those in rural areas, FIFO workers, or clients who simply prefer the convenience and privacy of therapy from home.
