Q&A

I offer personalised, one-on-one counselling, coaching and mentoring, sessions that focus on personal growth and transformation of the Expat, Young Adult and Business Executive. Starting exactly where you are now, we create a step-by-step pathway to your better future. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, my aim is to work with you on both the cognitive and emotional levels, helping you reach current goals, and set you up for long-term success, so you can feel at home, anywhere.

"Why have a counsellor?" A common question many people ask, and if you've ever experienced talking to a counsellor who cares, you know that connecting with a professional to talk to who can provide real guidance and support during difficult times is an amazing experience, because you're never totally alone. A good counsellor can help you identify patterns in your life, learn coping skills, and provide a safe and confidential space to explore and discuss your feelings. Therefore, having a counsellor is crucial for those seeking to maintain their mental and emotional well-being.

"Why have a coach?" When striving for your goals, your mind may create blocks or setbacks that keep you 'stuck'. That's where having a professional coach to provide guidance and support can be invaluable in creating momentum towards your goals. As a coach, I can help you clarify your targets, identify patterns holding you back, focus on your strengths, develop new skills, and provide a safe and confidential space to ensure your goals become a reality. Having a coach is crucial for those seeking to achieve their personal version of success.

I am a Counsellor and Coach with double masters degrees from top Australian Universities, and I also hold a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Design from the University of San Francisco. With 20-years of experience in human transformation and change, I utilise evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches to treat psychological concerns and promote holistic wellbeing.

Working with clients who are motivated to make positive changes and strive for personal growth is the ideal scenario. As someone who has lived abroad for decades, I specialize in navigating every stage of the expat experience from pre-departure to relocation, settling in and long term lifestyles. My approach to counselling and coaching is comprehensive, guiding clients through mental health challenges and goal striving efforts. I offer caring support and guidance to help overcome obstacles and create new realities. When working with individuals, families, parents, and couples during times of change, we take the same nurturing approach to help find the "new and improved normal." For business coaching, I provide a safe space for leaders to unload their stress. I can help discover new techniques for remaining calm and positive about personal and professional endeavors, ultimately leading to greater success in day to day life.

For Personal Clients, I recommend offering tailored counselling, coaching, and mentoring sessions to meet their individual needs, at an hourly price you can afford. Providing necessary support and guidance to help you achieve your goals is both affordable and achievable. I offer a range of customized proposals aimed at maximizing personal and professional effectiveness during expat assignments. Feel free to contact me for a personalised proposal tailored to your specific needs.
