The Authentic Counsellor

As an accredited member of the Australian Counselling Association, based on the North Shore and Northern Beaches of Sydney, I provide a safe and supportive space to help you navigate life’s challenges.

At times, life can feel overwhelming—whether you’re facing personal struggles or difficulties in your relationships. These challenges may involve your relationship with yourself, your partner, family, friends, or colleagues. Counselling offers a confidential and compassionate space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with the guidance of a professional counsellor.

You don’t have to go through it alone—I’m here to support you..

Individual Counselling

I can help you gain clarity, build resilience, and develop practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or major life transitions. It’s an opportunity for personal growth, improved self-awareness, and emotional well-being.

Couples Counselling

Focuses on strengthening relationships by improving communication, resolving conflicts, and rebuilding trust. Whether you’re experiencing relationship strain, feeling disconnected, lack of intimacy, or seeking tools to navigate challenges together, couples counselling provides a structured and supportive environment to foster understanding and reconnection.

No matter where you are on your journey, seeking support is a powerful step toward healing, growth, and creating meaningful change.

I’m confident there is a better more authentic version of you. Together, we can embark on a journey to discover and nurture that version—a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation.

Who I Help

I support individuals and couples who want to improve their relationships and create more fulfilling connections.

You’re a busy professional juggling life admin, work, and relationships—whether with your partner, family, friends, or colleagues. At times, it feels like no one ever taught you how to navigate it all, and you’re frustrated that life isn’t as effortless as it seems for everyone else. You’re ready for change.

Do you find yourself stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns—co-dependency, people-pleasing, communication struggles, boundary issues, or self-esteem challenges? Are you navigating life transitions while also dealing with emotional regulation difficulties?

Your goals are clear:

Healthier, more fulfilling relationships

Improved communication and stronger boundaries

Increased self-awareness and greater self-esteem

Feeling more connected, understood, and confident

I’m here to help you break free from patterns that no longer serve you. My approach is hands-on and practical—I use whiteboards, worksheets, and actionable strategies you can apply immediately to build better communication, set healthy boundaries, and reduce anxiety or stress.

I understand the frustration and loneliness that can come with relationship struggles. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your challenges, gain clarity, and develop the skills needed for stronger, more authentic connections.

Ready to invest in yourself? Let’s work together to help you build the relationships—and the life—you truly deserve.

About Me

My passion is helping people like you live a life that aligns with your values and aspirations. Based in St Leonards and Narrabeen on Sydney’s North Shore and Northern Beaches, I offer a safe and supportive space—whether in person or via video—where you can explore your challenges and navigate your path to personal growth.

Why Choose The Authentic Counsellor?

Being authentic to myself means being my true self. The counselling experience with me will help you get to know your authentic self. Together, we will explore how your past influences your present. As an individual or as a couple, we will examine how your upbringing shapes your relationship. We often try to be everything to everyone and forget to be our own person.

In my work with couples, I view the relationship as having three to four components: you, your partner, the two of you together, and, if you are parents, your roles as parents. Each person must take responsibility for their individual part in the relationship as well as their own personal growth.

Get in Touch

I would love for you to consider me as your partner on this journey of self-discovery and transformation. Whether you’re seeking to improve relationships through better communication, connection, and intimacy, dealing with anxiety, stress, or grief, or simply looking to unlock your full potential, I am here to support you.
