To find yourself in a domestic abuse situation can be extremely complex and brings with it a range of conflicting emotions ranging from sadness and grief to fear, isolation, heartache, and love. I provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to feel free to explore these complexities whilst supporting you to connect with who you are so you can navigate your life from an empowered place.

Domestic violence counselling encompasses prevention, early intervention, crisis, and post crisis support to clients (and their families) as well as providing a safe space for those women with ongoing and past experiences to process the complex drivers and impacts of domestic violence in their lives and consider options for recovery pathways.
Family violence has a devastating impact on many from their early years. We work with the individuals and families to minimise their risk of violence, addressing issues such as communication and values sharing, along with links to other community supports. We are experienced in assessing domestic abuse situations to work on problem-solving approaches that effect long term change while respecting the needs of all involved.
Domestic violence is a pattern of controlling and intimidating, abusive behaviours of various types including physical, emotional, verbal, social and sexual abuse. Working through the domestic abuse often requires help and support. We can assist with counselling and support to those dealing with domestic abuse or violence.
