Diversity-friendly counselling
Hi, I’m Jasmin (she/her), & I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
I know that seeking support can be a big step, and it’s one that can come with mixed emotions - maybe there’s some hope, some uncertainty, or even a bit of fear. I want you to know that all of that is welcome here.
My goal is to provide a welcoming, non-judgemental space where you can show up just as you are, and together, we can make sense of what’s happening and find pathways forward that work for you.
With a strong commitment to neuroaffirming and trauma-informed practices, I seek to co-create therapy spaces that are empathetic, collaborative and respectful, with awareness that trust is built over time, and what makes a space feel safe is different for different people.
Since 2010, I have been providing counselling to adults navigating a range of challenges including trauma, PTSD & complex PTSD, dissociation, stress, imposter syndrome, identity and shifting identities, grief and loss, suicide bereavement, relationship dynamics, work-life balance, personal development, neurodivergence, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting Emergency Services personnel and their families.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief and loss, relationship struggles, identity, or feeling stuck, I’m here to help.

My approach
You are the expert on your own life, and I am here to walk alongside you, offering support, tools, and insights to help you navigate challenges.
I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you are with empathy and understanding.
Together, we can explore what’s weighing on you, whether it’s past trauma, stress, grief, self-doubt, relationship dynamics, or navigating a major life transition.
I have a special interest in the mind-body connection and how our nervous system plays a role in our emotional and psychological wellbeing.
I love helping people connect more deeply with themselves, finding ways to feel grounded, resilient, and connected to self, even during life’s most challenging moments.
My approach integrates a variety of evidence-based therapies specific to each person’s needs. These may include: Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems-informed parts work.
MEDICARE REBATES AVAILABLE - at Paddington, for up to 10 sessions per year with a current Mental Health Care Plan.
Experienced
I'm an accredited mental health social worker and therapist with over 15 years of experience helping adults resolve childhood trauma. I help you understand the patterns and dynamics that were formed in your early experiences. Together, we get to the heart of emotional challenges so you can process trauma, and reconnect with self and life in meaningful ways.
Trauma-Informed
In counselling, we'll work together in 3 phases: 1) Safety and Stabilisation: resourcing you with the tools and scaffolding to support you with the symptoms of trauma. 2) Processing trauma memory, so it has less of a hold on you in the present. 3) Making meaning and reconnecting to present-day life: learning what it feels life to experience joy, awe, pleasure, playfulness and to dream and create a life you love.
Evidence-Based
I work with top-down (cognitive) approaches, as well as bottom-up (somatic/body-based) approaches. Many of the ways trauma impacts us don’t only live in conscious thoughts or memories, they show up through nervous system responses, emotional patterns, tension in the body, shutdown, hypervigilance, or feeling disconnected from ourselves. Together, we work with mind and body to process what’s been carried, helping your system move from survival and protection towards greater connection, safety, and self-trust.
Ready to reach out?
If you’re feeling ready, or even just curious to learn more, I’d love to connect. You can reach out to book a session or ask any questions you might have. There’s no pressure - this is about finding the right fit for you.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on this part of your journey.
