I am a counsellor working at Eating Disorders Families Australia (EDFA), where I provide support to carers of loved ones suffering from eating disorders. My passion lies in helping families navigate the challenging journey of supporting someone with an eating disorder, offering guidance, empathy, and practical advice to make this journey a little easier. Outside my professional life, I love being outdoors and embracing adventure, whether it’s bushwalking, camping, or exploring new places. I believe that staying connected to nature helps me bring a balanced and grounded approach to my counselling practice. I am available for online counselling appointments to all Australian residents. You can book a session with me through EDFA’s Fill the Gap Program. I look forward to supporting you and your family through this journey.
