About

My qualifications include Diplomas in both Solution Oriented Counselling and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, I am registered with ASOCHA (Association of Solution Oriented Counsellors and Hypnotherapists of Australia) and PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia [prov.]), and maintain professional indemnity insurance. I bring to my clients a diverse background in counselling and life experience. Prior to my private practice, I have worked at Lifeline and attended the Milton H. Erickson Institute of Tasmania where I studied advanced hypnosis. Utilising the Ericksonian approach has helped many individuals resolve a variety of personal issues.

While helping couples and individuals seeking relationship counselling in Cairns, I emphasise the importance of communication and being honest in order to uncover the love which often gets buried beneath feelings of hurt, anger and frustration. When working with individuals at my Cairns based psychotherapy practice the focus is on being truthful with oneself, to find simple solutions to seemingly complex problems.

Dates for seminars including Enhancing Communication Skills will be posted on the Seminars page when available. In my therapeutic work, I enjoy helping people understand themselves and overcome self-defeating patterns of behavior that have been learned over time.

Your Cairns psychotherapy sessions are scheduled as one hour for individuals or one and a half hours for couples to provide adequate time to explore issues without interruption.

For those who prefer to speak to a counsellor from the privacy of their own home, I also provide confidential telephone counselling and coaching.
