Counselling
In counselling, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and support clients to enhance self-awareness, explore and develop solutions to alleviate distress, create meaningful relationships and move towards personal growth and healing.
I offer individual counselling services and work with children, adolescents and adults. I am located in Wattle Grove and Kalamunda.
Equine Assisted Counselling with my beautiful herd of horses is held at Rothwood in Wattle Grove.
