Helping build closer relationships and happier families
Supporting parents and those seeking change, in a gentle space of safety and acceptance.
Are you struggling to understand your children's behaviours?
Are you tired of yelling at your children, tired of the chaos, tired of seeing your children upset, tired of the meltdowns? Are you tired of walking on eggshells around your moody or explosive teen?
Are you tired of feeling exhausted at the thought of facing yet another round of aggression, yelling and tantrums, or withdrawal and moodiness?
Perhaps you are concerned that your child is not keeping up at school, or has signs of autism, ADHD, anxiety or dyslexia?
Would you like to learn how to make parenting easier and more fun, while supporting your child’s natural process of development?
I will help you learn to recognise the signs of the approaching “storm”, and take steps to prevent it becoming a full blown “typhoon”.
You will learn how to “calm the storm” through building closer connections and mutual respect.
Consultations are available online using Skype or zoom, or in person at Moruya South Head.

My services focus on the following:
Children and Families
Our children’s behaviours can leave us feeling completely at a loss to know what to do. Learn what those moods and explosive meltdowns might really mean.
Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy
Asking for help can feel like a big step, but it can also be the beginning of something new and exciting. I provide a gentle space of safety and acceptance, and will support you as you explore questions and challenges arising in your life.
Kevin's Story
Autism, Anxiety, No Friends, Academic Delay and Meltdowns.
Kevin, aged 8, was struggling with tears, crying, meltdowns and anxiety at school. His parents reported that he was often angry and frustrated and was unable to interact socially. He was also behind academically. The gentle, no-pressure approach during Kevin’s weekly visits allowed him to gradually develop social and communication skills, to relax and self-regulate his anxious behaviour.
After 9 months his parents reported that there were no more meltdowns at school, he was much happier and more confident, and he had made a friend. He was also performing well academically.
