Adolescence is a developmental period characterised by physiological, emotional and cognitive changes, coupled with social, academic and varying relational pressures. Not having an understanding of these changes can leave them vulnerable to insecurity, disorientation and anxiety.
I have worked professionally as a Registered Nurse for 19 years, providing services in a range of specialty areas with children, young people and adults. The aim of completing my Masters of Counselling was to combine both qualifications in order to make a greater difference to the growing number of kids and adolescents who are experiencing mounting distress around growing up and puberty.
I've seen firsthand when kids and adolescents can't cope with mounting complexities around growing up today, both in hospital and private practice setting.
Both qualifications complement each other as I have the ability to connect at their level by having an understanding of issues they face, and support discussions in a safe environment.

In life, Health and Education are two things I am very passionate about. I find it a real privilege working in different school environments, where the two are combined.

In life, Health and Education are two things I am very passionate about. I find it a real privilege working in different school environments, where the two are combined.
I really enjoy helping educate young people navigate a variety of often 'tricky topics' including things about their bodies, puberty, relationships, consent, diversity, personal & internet safety.
Young people need support to ensure they have the information they need to help prepare them for their own growth and development journey.
I believe it is important for all children to learn accurate, honest, age-appropriate information in a safe, relaxed and non judgmental way. I love helping them feel comfortable enough to not only learn but also ask the awkward or random questions that might otherwise go unanswered. I also believe it builds a more solid foundation for respectful health literacy.
With 10 years of experience working as a Nurse and being a mother of 2 children, I have the knowledge of the human body as well as a passion for supporting children through their own primary health education.
