One-on-one counselling sessions in person (Parnell) or online.

Talk with someone who gets you as a sports person

I offer counselling services for athletes, coaches, and young people navigating the unique challenges of sport and life. With a Master of Counselling Studies and over 20 years of experience in sport—from grassroots to high performance—I understand the pressures, expectations, and transitions that come with sport.

Who I work with

I specialise in working with:

  • Athletes at all levels—from pathway to elite

  • Adolescents and young adults

  • Coaches and support staff

  • Parents and adults seeking support around sport, wellbeing, or family life.

Areas of Support

My counselling practice focuses on:

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Stress and performance anxiety

  • Injury, burnout, and transitions

  • Relationship stress and conflict resolution

My Approach

I offer a calm, person-centred approach that prioritises safety, trust, and collaboration. Together, we set the pace and focus of each session, working toward meaningful goals in a way that feels manageable and empowering.

I’m trained in a range of evidence-based modalities, including:

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Solution-Focused Therapy

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Counselling sessions are available in person or online. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and cultures, and tailor each session to meet your unique needs.
