About EF Counselling
I am an ACA-registered counsellor with a background in sociology, teaching, and social research.
Over many years of working with students, communities, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds, I developed a deep interest in how personal experiences, relationships, and social environments shape the ways people understand themselves and navigate life transitions.
This background continues to influence my counselling work today. I am particularly interested in questions of identity, belonging, relationships, life transitions, and the ways people make sense of challenges, uncertainty, and change.
My approach is person-centred and integrative, grounded in the belief that meaningful change often begins with being heard, understood, and given space to reflect.
Through this process, people may begin to recognise their strengths, reconnect with what matters to them, and discover more grounded and meaningful ways of moving forward.
