Getting here hasn’t been a straight road. My work has always centred around people — real people, facing real challenges — and that’s what led me to counselling.

I started out supporting individuals on weight loss journeys and those living with body dysmorphia. That work opened my eyes to how deeply our struggles can shape us — and how much healing happens when someone truly listens. Later, I spent years in Ambulance Communications, talking with people in some of the most intense and terrifying moments of their lives. I supported first responders, guided families through emergencies, and held space for people when everything felt overwhelming.

I’ve worked with those battling addiction and supported their families through the ups and downs. I’ve helped families navigate aged care decisions for loved ones, and supported couples, children, and individuals through divorce, trauma, anxiety, and life’s messier moments.

I still work as a primary consultant in rapid response — which means I’m often the first on-site when something significant happens in the workplace. That might be a critical incident like a sudden death or serious injury, but it can also be events like redundancies, job loss, restructures, or workplace conflict. Whatever the situation, I’m there to support workers, managers, and teams in real time — helping them process what’s happened, manage the emotional impact, and start to find a way forward. It’s about being a steady, supportive presence when things feel uncertain or overwhelming.

What all of this has taught me is simple: people don’t just need advice — they need a safe place to land. A space where they can breathe, speak freely, and start to feel like themselves again.

Along the way, I’ve trained in trauma-informed practice, mental health first aid, EMDR, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and most major counselling modalities. But tools alone don’t make therapy work. It’s the relationship — the trust, the feeling of being seen and understood — that creates real change.

Clients often say I’m easy to talk to. That means the world to me, because counselling shouldn’t feel clinical or cold. It should feel human. Like sitting down with someone who’s fully in your corner.

So whether you’re carrying trauma, navigating anxiety, facing relationship struggles, or just feel stuck — I offer a calm, down-to-earth space where you can unpack what’s going on, and start building a way forward.

If you’re ready to talk, I’m here — and I’d be honoured to walk with you.       Lindy
