Holistic counselling looks at the whole person. It considers the mind, body and spirit, and how each of these aspects is interconnected. Rather than isolating a single issue, it explores the wider context, including the environment you were born into, how you were raised, the people you surround yourself with and the life experiences that have shaped you.

This approach supports greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. It can help you uncover unconscious patterns and emotional triggers, process past and present experiences and gain deeper insight into the way you respond to the world around you. Rather than just treating symptoms, holistic counselling aims to understand and address the root causes, allowing space for meaningful change, clarity and growth.

Appointments are conducted online via video call.

I come from a multicultural household, my mother is Australian and my father Spanish. I spent part of my childhood living overseas and was raised between Spain, central-northern New South Wales and Brisbane. In my early twenties, I lived in Sydney for several years. These varied landscapes and cultures shaped my understanding of individuality, human nature and the many different ways people view the world.

From a young age, I was immersed in spiritual and energetic traditions. I received my first Reiki initiation as a child and later experienced a deep shamanic initiation that profoundly shaped my inner path and the way I work with others. Practices like Tai Chi, martial arts and intuitive development were also part of my upbringing, laying a foundation for how I attune to energy, emotion and the deeper layers of the psyche.

I have worked for over 13 years as a holistic counsellor in both community and clinical settings, including the judicial system. I hold a university degree in Counselling and draw on an eclectic range of therapeutic frameworks. My approach is holistic, which means I look at the whole person, not just the problem. This includes exploring how your upbringing, environment, lifestyle, beliefs and unconscious patterns have shaped the way you relate to yourself, others and the world around you.

This often involves shadow work, bringing awareness to parts of yourself that may have been hidden, denied or unconsciously steering your life. I believe that real healing comes not just from insight but from taking ownership of our patterns and learning how to respond differently. My role is to walk alongside you and support that process with honesty, depth and a grounded, respectful presence.
