ABOUT
I’m a certified counsellor and approved NDIS provider in Perth.
I'm specialising in Life Transition Counselling and Adolescent and Young Adult Therapy.
I offer guidance and support to people who are going through
difficult life changes or feel overwhelmed by their day-to-day lives.
I’ve been through many life transitions. Some were chosen,
others I had no other alternative but to get through the best I could.
One of the most recent life transitions was moving from Italy to Australia.
Although it wasn’t my first time moving to another country, it still felt scary at times.
There was a lot of uncertainty about the future. How would I find a job? How would my son cope with the change? Would we be okay financially? The anxiety and loneliness were overwhelming at times.
I thought maybe counselling would be a way to deal with my emotions.
I was right. It was in counselling that I learnt how to practice self-compassion.
I became more aware of my thoughts and feelings and how to navigate through challenging situations.
As time passed, I felt more comfortable when difficulties arose. I reacted to events in a more balanced way.
My mood improved, and I felt I was finally thriving rather than just surviving.
Learning how to overcome challenges changed the way I viewed life.
And knowing how hard life changes impacted people, I decided to embark on my next transition.
The time had come for another change. I returned to study to become a counsellor to help others.
I’ve always been interested in people and how we can constructively live our lives.
Studying counselling allowed me to dive deeper into these subjects
and learn how little adjustments can make a huge difference.
Now I do what I love most. I support people through challenging times
and work with them to develop new ways of coping.
If this sounds like what you are looking for, feel free to contact me.

It might help you to know that I listen in a warm and non-judgemental way.
