Cheltenham & Bayside
When family life feels overwhelming.
Supporting individuals, couples and families in Cheltenham and Melbourne’s Southeast and online.
Every family has a story, and sometimes it reaches a turning point. With over a decade of experience supporting families, I provide a calm and structured space where couples, parents, and children can feel heard and understood, even when communication feels hard or things feel stuck.
I am a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and a member of the Australian Association of Family Therapy (AAFT). My work is grounded in evidence-informed approaches, including the Gottman Method for couples. As a child-inclusive practitioner, I ensure that children’s voices and experiences are thoughtfully considered when supporting families through important decisions and transitions.

Life as a couple isn’t always easy. Often, the love that once felt effortless becomes tangled in pain, breaches of trust, infidelity, illness, grief, struggles with intimacy, or constant fights over money..

Child-inclusive mediation is an evidence-based approach that helps parents in separation hear and understand their child’s experiences in a safe and supported way. A trained Child Consultant meets with the child and brings their perspectives, not their “wishes” or choices, into the mediation process in a developmentally appropriate manner.

If therapy has been on your mind, whether for yourself, your relationship, or your family, we encourage you to get in touch. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out, starting the conversation is enough
In the first session, we take time to understand what brings you here and what feels most important for your family right now. There is no pressure to share everything at once, we move at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
