As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Trauma Counsellor at Newport Counselling & Psychology Service, I'm dedicated to helping individuals navigate their journey through trauma and emotional healing. My practice focuses particularly on supporting those affected by relational trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD, and the lasting impacts of sexual abuse and assault.

Understanding Your Journey

Having grown up as a first-generation Australian, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to the complexities of immigration and intergenerational trauma. This unique perspective allows me to connect deeply with clients from diverse backgrounds, acknowledging the intricate layers of their experiences.

A Safe Space for Healing

My approach centers on creating a secure, judgment-free environment where clients can freely express their concerns and emotions. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, family dysfunction, relationship issues, or addiction, I'm here to support your healing journey with empathy and understanding.

Comprehensive Treatment Approaches

Drawing from a rich toolkit of evidence-based therapeutic methods, I tailor treatment plans to each client's unique needs. My therapeutic approaches include:

Trauma-Focused Therapies

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy

Breaking Language Barriers

To better serve our diverse community, I offer counselling services in both English and Italian, ensuring that language never stands as a barrier to accessing mental health support.

The path to healing from trauma isn't linear, but you don't have to walk it alone. Together, we can work towards understanding, processing, and moving forward from past experiences, building a foundation for lasting emotional wellbeing.
