Founder and Managing Director – Legacy Counselling and Consultancy
Based in Adelaide, South Australia (Australia/Adelaide time zone), I offer counselling services tailored to clients in Australia and beyond. My local presence helps clients who prefer in‑person sessions, and the time zone compatibility makes scheduling easier for online appointments.
Approach & Philosophy:
I believe in creating a safe, empathetic space where clients feel heard and respected. My counselling style is client‑centered and collaborative, drawing on evidence‑based techniques—such as Narrative therapy, cognitive‑behavioural strategies, mindfulness practices, and solution‑focused therapy—to support personal growth, mental well‑being, and resilience. I maintain strict confidentiality and professionalism, and I adapt to each client’s unique goals and circumstances.
Experience & Areas of Focus:
With a background in counselling and ongoing professional development, I work with adults and young people navigating:
Stress, anxiety, and depression
Relationship and family issues
Grief and loss
Life transitions and personal growth
Self‑esteem and identity concerns
I am committed to culturally sensitive and inclusive practice, and I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds.
About Me & Cultural Perspective:
As a proud First Nations Torres Strait Islander person, I bring a deep awareness of the rich history, traditions, and lived experiences of Indigenous Australians. This perspective informs my practice and allows me to connect meaningfully with clients from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, as well as with those from other Cultural backgrounds. I strive to honour each person’s heritage and cultural identity, recognising how these factors shape mental health and well‑being.
Cultural Awareness & Sensitivity:
Culture plays a vital role in how we experience the world and understand ourselves. I respect and acknowledge each client’s cultural background—whether that’s shaped by heritage, family values, spiritual beliefs, or community traditions—and understand how these factors impact mental health and well-being. My approach is inclusive and non‑judgmental, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring and integrating their cultural identities into their personal growth and therapeutic journey. I also maintain awareness of the unique contexts faced by different cultural groups in Australia, including Indigenous communities, migrants, and multicultural families.
What Clients Can Expect:
Whether you’re dealing with a specific challenge or seeking general support, my goal is to empower you with tools and insights for positive change. Sessions are collaborative and practical, combining active listening with tailored strategies. I offer both online and face‑to‑face sessions, providing flexibility and accessibility to meet your needs.
I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward well‑being and clarity. Feel free to reach out to discuss how we might work together.
