Growing up can bring moments of challenge as much as growth. Young people often find themselves questioning, experimenting, and learning how to make sense of their feelings and relationships. Sometimes it helps to have someone outside the family who will simply listen — someone who can offer support, understanding, and guidance.
​
Sessions take place regularly in a space chosen together — somewhere that feels comfortable and grounding. For those who prefer an indoor setting, I offer a private studio space within the Clarence Valley. Whether we’re walking, talking, or using creative or movement-based approaches, the aim is to gently explore what’s been feeling heavy or stuck, and to help build a sense of stability, confidence, and connection.
For parents and carers, it can be reassuring to know that support is grounded in a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, focused on safety, growth, and connection.
My intention is to walk alongside each young person — and their support network — as they navigate change and build the tools to feel safe, capable, and understood.
Extra bits you may want to know
I am a big believer in the power of connection: Connection to self, to others and to nature. These are key supports to living a safe and healthy life.
I use playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, empathy and autonomy in the work that we do together. I balance my approach by also offering some tips, tricks and tools that can be used to weave into your world.
Having been a child and young person once, I know that we are always searching for a sense of belonging, both with self and others and working out what we like and dislike and how we want to show up in the world- this can often be a tricky time! It can also be a fun time, a time to try new things and new identities and ways of being. Sometimes we also just want to talk this stuff out with someone and have them walk beside us as we make our own informed choices about where to next or how to navigate something that has come up. I get it !
