Helping build closer relationships and happier families
Counselling and Parent Coaching, in person and online.
Supporting parents and those seeking change, in a gentle space of safety and acceptance.
Counselling and Parent Coaching
Are you:
- worried about your children’s learning and behaviours, and unsure where to go for help?
- exhausted at the thought of facing yet another meltdown, tantrum or mood swing?
- concerned that your child is not keeping up at school, or has signs of autism, ADHD, anxiety or dyslexia?
- feeling overwhelmed about balancing work, family and time for yourself?
I remember going through all of this when my children were small, and having no idea what to do, or how to help them.
Looking for answers, I started researching and began studying. This was 15 years ago, and I have been helping families ever since.
I would like to help you learn how to make parenting easier and more fun, while supporting your child’s natural process of development.
Parent coaching sessions will help you understand what these emotional outbursts might really mean. You will be supported in achieving your parenting goals, changing behaviours and building closer family relationships.
Counselling sessions with your children give them a place where they can feel understood, learning how to calm their anxiety and regulate their emotional outbursts. The result is calmer, happier children who are ready to learn.
As a parent, grandparent and accredited Holistic Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I understand your concerns.
I am also registered as a Provider with the NDIS.
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.
