Several years ago I found myself struggling with painful sex. I felt inadequate, sad and frustrated, suffered quietly and was way too embarrassed to get help for such a private and personal problem. The strain of this issue was a definite factor in the breakdown of my marriage and I decided to learn as much as I could about healthy, happy relationships. I survived the inevitable divorce and I am now grateful to be in a connected & satisfying marriage. I do my best to practice what I tell my clients - the "hard yards" that every relationship needs!.
​
I am compassionately driven to help people, especially those who find "sex" challenging. I believe that we all have the right to enjoy pleasurable sex - free of pain, guilt and shame or compulsive behaviour.
My skills lie in my ability to quickly get to the heart of the problem and in finding creative ways to help people have more pleasurable sex lives and healthy relationships. My approach is down to earth, direct and warm and although I am fairly serious minded I do have a rather quirky sense of humour. I have ADHD and I am an affirming LGBTQIA ally with a particular interest in supporting faith based queer folk and people living with neuro-divergence .
​
I am a registered professional member of the Australian & New Zealand Creative Art Therapists Association and the Society of Australian Sexologists, a level 4 member of the Australian Counselling Association and working towards EMDR accreditation with EMDRAA. I am also past President of the NSW Branch of the Society of Australian Sexologists.

I know without a doubt...that with the right support, at the right time it is possible to feel good about yourself, your sex life and your relationships.
