My practice integrates counselling expertise with research to assist individuals and couples.

I studied Postgrad Psychology at Rhodes University (Grahamstown) and the University of South Africa (Pretoria) in South Africa. I worked at the University of Cape Town and as an infertility counsellor at the Holistic Assisted Reproduction Treatment Clinic in Cape Town. I moved from South Africa to Australia in 2017 with my children. I completed my PhD at La Trobe University (Melbourne) which was a psycho-social study of relationships between Australian egg and sperm donors, recipients and donor-conceived children.

I have worked as a donor-linking counsellor in Australia with the Victorian Assisted Reproductive Treatment Authority (VARTA).

I have worked with women and couples during significant life transitions and moments of change. These include studying & striving to enter the workforce and navigating career decisions; trying to conceive and experiencing fertility challenges; matrescence and the transition to parenthood; relationship difficulties, separation and divorce and dealing with unresolved grief and trauma.

This combination of counselling experience and research has allowed me to provide counselling that is informed by current evidence while remaining focused on each person's individual experience.
