COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
COUNSELLING
We provide counselling tailored for seniors and NDIS participants, offering a safe and supportive space to navigate life’s challenges. Sessions focus on building resilience, improving wellbeing, and empowering individuals to achieve their goals. Whether in-home, at our clinic, or via telehealth, we create a personalised approach that meets each participant where they are.
ART THERAPY
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
COUNSELLING
Through expressive therapies such as art therapy, participants can explore emotions, build confidence, and communicate in new ways. Our sessions are flexible, creative, and designed to support both personal growth and emotional wellbeing. Art therapy is especially valuable for those who may find traditional talk-based counselling difficult, offering new pathways for self-expression and healing.

a bit about me
I wasn’t always a counsellor. For many years, I navigated the corporate world, immersed in spreadsheets and financial reports. While that life offered stability, something was missing. I longed for deeper connection and more meaningful purpose. That’s when I decided to change course — trading numbers for empathy and beginning my journey as a counsellor.
Today, at Through the Woods Counselling, I support people of all walks of life, with a special focus on NDIS participants and seniors. Life can sometimes feel like a dense forest, tangled with obstacles and uncertainty. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you find clarity, resilience, and renewed purpose.
My career change was driven by a desire to work directly with people, to make a difference in their daily lives. Over the years, I’ve gained invaluable experience in the disability support sector, aged care, youth mentoring, and community programs. This broad background allows me to understand the unique challenges and strengths of those navigating disability, ageing, or major life transitions.
With more than a decade of experience in counselling, mentoring, and support roles, I’ve seen firsthand the power of creating safe, respectful spaces where people can express themselves, grow, and heal. Whether it’s a senior rediscovering joy through art therapy, or an NDIS participant building confidence through creative expression and counselling, I tailor each session to the individual’s needs and goals.
The name “Through the Woods” reflects both my personal journey and the journeys I share with clients. Just as walking through a forest can be a time of reflection and renewal, life’s struggles can also be catalysts for growth. My goal is to empower every person I work with to discover hidden strengths, create their own pathways, and emerge from the “woods” with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.
Together, we can navigate challenges, explore new possibilities, and build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
