ONE-TO-ONE · DARLINGHURST, SYDNEY

Sometimes we need a space to slow down, make sense of what we’re experiencing and feel seen and heard. Sometimes we’re ready to explore a different way forward.

I offer one-to-one counselling for people navigating emotional challenges, relationships, life changes and questions of identity, meaning and belonging.

Together, we can explore patterns that feel limiting, recognise your strengths and draw on the abilities, relationships and resources already in your life. The work is collaborative, supporting you to develop new responses while making room for difficult feelings and the possibilities ahead.

More than conversation, when it helps.

Alongside talking, we may draw on psychodrama, storytelling and creative exploration. These offer ways to see a situation from another perspective and practise new responses, guided by what feels useful and comfortable for you.

02 / FOR GROUPS

Grow together.
Discover new possibilities.

A space to be seen,
connect and explore.

EXPERIENTIAL GROUPS · SHARED LEARNING · PERSONAL GROWTH

Something shifts when we discover we’re not alone in our experience. Groups offer space to learn about ourselves in relationship with others, share what matters and explore different ways of being.

Through psychodrama, storytelling and creative exploration, I facilitate experiences that support self-awareness, belonging and personal growth. We draw on the strengths and perspectives each person brings, with room for reflection, playfulness and discovery.

Psychodrama & personal growth

Explore the roles and stories that shape your life. Through action and reflection, try new responses and discover possibilities beyond familiar patterns.

Connection & belonging

Shared experiences that invite people to listen, express themselves and build meaningful relationships, with care for different backgrounds and ways of participating.

who make your mission possible.

Connection and shared experience are central to my group work.

Wellbeing is shaped by how people relate, lead and support one another. I work with teams and organisations to create space for reflection, strengthen relationships and support meaningful transformation in the ways people work together.

Team wellbeing & connection

Experiential sessions exploring wellbeing, belonging, communication and mutual support, shaped around your team’s context.

Leadership & organisational development

Reflect on the roles people take, how power is used and how teams respond to tension and change. Practise more thoughtful, collaborative ways of working.

Conflict transformation

Explore what sits beneath tension, how power and communication shape relationships, and how to respond with greater awareness. Practise constructive ways to work through differences and strengthen connection.

Critical incident support

Support for staff navigating difficult events, with space to be heard, reflect and connect with the support around them. Enquire to discuss your needs and my availability.

HOW I WORK

Connection. Creativity. Possibility.

01

Start with relationship

Being listened to and understood creates space for honest exploration. We begin with your experience and what matters to you.

02

Learn through experience

Conversation, psychodrama and creative methods can help us notice familiar patterns and try something different.

03

Build on your strengths

We make room for challenges while recognising the abilities, relationships and resources that can support change.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Human first.
Curious about what’s possible.

I’m a counsellor, certified psychodrama practitioner and community builder based in Sydney. My life and work across Greece, Brazil and Australia have shaped my interest in the stories we carry, the roles we take and the places we find belonging.

I bring together counselling, experiential group work and creative practice to support individual, group and organisational wellbeing and development. At the centre is a belief in people’s capacity to connect, learn and find new ways forward.
