COPING WITH CHRONIC OR LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS
Since 2009, I have provided counselling to hundreds of adults, children and young people diagnosed with chronic and life-threatening illness. I will work with you to understand the challenges you're experiencing and offer strategies to help you to cope.
Counselling is available in person or online via telehealth. I can help you to address concerns related to:
- Feelings of sadness, anger, grief and loss about the impacts of illness
- Living with uncertainty
- Managing anxiety and stress
- Experiences of trauma related to diagnosis or medical procedures or events
- Managing the impacts of illness on employment and education
- Supporting children and other family members
- Changed relationships and the challenges of being "a carer"
- Impacts of treatment (e.g. on energy, functioning, fertility and intimacy)
- Palliative care and end of life decision-making
I provide counselling one on one for individuals. And, counselling for couples and families.

Couple and Family Therapy
When families experience significant events or have concerns about one family member’s behaviour or wellbeing it can have an effect on the relationships between all family members. Meeting together as a family provides an opportunity to discuss challenges and to identify strategies to help the family live together and support each other as well as possible.
As your counsellor, my goal is to ensure our sessions are a safe space for difficult conversations, to enable everyone in the family to have an opportunity to share their experiences, and to identify concrete steps to help your family.
