About Me
I am a PACFA-registered Clinical Counsellor, an ICF ACC-accredited Coach, and a Yoga Teacher. My work brings neuroscience, psychology, and mindful embodiment together to help individuals and couples stabilise the mind, rebuild trust in the body, and re-establish direction.
Growth does not occur in isolation; it arises from the integrated system of mind and body. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, and mindfulness because each activates distinct neural pathways, attention, emotional regulation, and meaning-making. These approaches invite the brain to rewire toward balance, resilience, and clarity.
The heart of my practice was formed long before my qualifications. Stabilise was created in memory of my mother, whose strength, empathy, and quiet wisdom shaped how I understand healing. She taught me that presence is the greatest act of love, that to sit with another person, fully and without judgment, can change the chemistry of a moment.
Each client journey is unique, yet the foundation remains constant, safety, clarity, and measurable growth held in presence.

These prepaid packs give your brain the consistency it needs for meaningful change. Regular sessions strengthen neuroplasticity, settle cortisol dynamics, and create the emotional safety required for deep relational and behavioural shifts. This is where insight becomes action. If you are ready for sustained growth, this structured commitment helps embed those shifts into your mindset and overall well-being.
CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS
As the sole practitioner at Stabilise and Head of Therapy at Omni Bali, I partner with organisations including ALDI and Solas Mind to provide on-site mental health support and Employee Assistance Program services. I work directly with teams in high-pressure environments, offering calm, structured and confidential psychological care that fits the realities of their day-to-day work.
Every corporate partnership is held by me personally. There is no outsourcing or clinician rotation, just one consistent, trusted point of contact, so your people receive stable, continuous care over time.

The mind and body are inseparable systems, constantly influencing how we think, feel, and act. When stress or uncertainty take hold, neural pathways narrow, and clarity fades.

This is not simply about coping; it’s about rewiring the brain for long-term resilience.

Through neuroscience-informed counselling and integrative coaching, I help you restore balance to your nervous system and strengthen the neural connections that support calm, confidence, and emotional intelligence.
The mind and body are inseparable systems.
When one heals,

Sustainable change begins with neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganise itself through attention and experience. By combining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Polyvagal Theory, we train the nervous system to respond rather than react. Each session builds emotional flexibility, turning awareness into action and insight into embodied change.
Neural Pathways of Growth
Growth happens across layers of awareness, personal, relational, and emotional. These pathways mirror how the brain itself develops: from individual regulation, to connection with others, to integration of emotion and meaning. Each one expands your capacity for presence and resilience.

How do I choose the right counsellor or coach for me?
Consider their expertise, experience, and approach. Finding someone you feel comfortable with and who aligns with your goals and values is important.
Awareness is the first step.
It is the moment you stop being inside the thought and start observing it. In brain terms, you shift from autopilot, the default mode network, into a more measured, choiceful mode. You go from “I am the thought” to “I am noticing the thought.”
Stillness is the practice.
Stillness is not emptiness. It is nervous system hygiene. You downshift arousal, soften the body, widen attention, and give the prefrontal cortex a chance to come back online. This is how you stop feeding the loop. Less mental noise, more signal from the body.
Presence is.
Presence is what you are when you are no longer narrating the moment. You are here, with direct sensory data, and the sense of self stops being a story you have to maintain. It is not a performance. It is your baseline when the brain and body are coherent
