Hi, I'm Kay!
With over 8 years of experience working in the field of mental health, I see the effects of dysfunction and relationship dissatisfaction every day.
We all have the need for giving and receiving love, security, safety, connection, and a sense of belonging. Having healthy relationships helps us to meet those needs, and as a result, we have better emotional and mental wellbeing, and overall better quality of life. This is what I want for you, if you're ready for positive change.
My experience includes working with individuals and couples to address relationship concerns, working with survivors of domestic and family violence, supporting families and partners of people affected by addiction, and working with adults and young people with diagnosed mental illness and personality disorders.
Life has its ups-and-downs - having the right kind of support can help us weather the tough times and achieve deeper connections with others and with ourselves. As a wife and mother, I bring a nurturing approach using evidence-based techniques and methods.

My Story and Approach
My career in the mental health and counselling fields began when I was in my late 20's. I realised that I naturally gravitated towards roles where I could help others. I decided then that I would pursue a career in counselling.
As I progressed through my studies, I became fascinated with the complexities of relationships and was inspired to further my education in this field. Since then, I have been working with a range of people to help them improve their relationships and ultimately, their mental health.
My approach depends on your needs and your ideal outcome. I have found that using a range of techniques helps me to better personalise your treatment plan and counselling experience.
