There was a version of you that existed before him
You were somebody before the abuse.

Before the walking on eggshells. Before the anxiety. Before the self-doubt. Before the fear.

She's still there. Buried beneath years of survival.

The goal isn't becoming a new person. The goal is finding your way back to yourself.

You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Many of the women I have the privilege to work with arrive feeling overwhelmed by everything they're carrying such as court processes, parenting, financial stress, housing, safety concerns, anxiety, and the constant pressure to keep functioning.

This is a space where you can slow things down, untangle what's happening, and work out your next step. Whether you're recently separated or years beyond the relationship and still feeling the impact, support is available.

You can book a counselling appointment through the link in my bio.
If you'd prefer to have a conversation first, you're also welcome to call me on 0414 930 986, or text or DM.

Hello all,

I’m an ACA Level 2 Counsellor, Counselling Supervisor (ACA College of Supervisors), and Lecturer in Community Services & Counselling, currently offering a small number of supervision spaces.

My work is focused on practitioners navigating complexity - particularly in domestic & family violence, trauma, post-separation dynamics, psychosocial risk, and working within (& alongside) systems such as family law & the NDIS, including Positive Behaviour Support contexts.

I take an integrative approach to supervision, drawing from trauma-informed, person-centred, strengths-based, narrative, & solution-focused frameworks - but always grounded in what actually works in practice.

Supervision with me is structured, reflective, & practical. It’s not just a space to talk things through - it’s a space to think clearly, work through risk & ethical decision-making, & build confidence in how you’re practising.

Sessions can support:
· Complex or high-risk case reflection
· Ethical decision-making & grey areas
· Risk assessment & client safety
· Documentation & professional judgement
· Boundaries & practitioner sustainability
· Navigating NDIS/PBS & system pressures

This is not passive supervision. We actively work through your thinking so you leave sessions clearer, more grounded, & more confident in your decisions.

I’m also very aware of cost pressures across life at the moment, so I’ve intentionally kept supervision accessible while still offering depth & rigour.

This may be a good fit if you’re:
· Early to mid-career & starting to hold more complex presentations
· Working in domestic & family violence, trauma, or NDIS/PBS contexts
· Wanting supervision that goes beyond surface-level reflection

Sessions are offered online.

Individual supervision: $80 per session + GST
Limited availability.

If you’re looking for supervision that is grounded, thoughtful, & actually helps you move forward, you’re welcome to connect.

Rebuilding often isn’t linear. It requires ongoing decision-making in complex situations.

There can be progress in some areas, while other parts still feel uncertain, heavy, or unresolved. That doesn’t mean you’re going backwards.

It means rebuilding after abuse is rarely as simple or straightforward as people think.

Family law series.When “co-parenting” becomes another avenue for control.

We talk a lot about the importance of separated parents communicating, cooperating and putting their children first.

But what happens when there has been family violence and coercive control? Separation does not necessarily end coercive control.

The Australian Government specifically recognises that coercive control can continue after separation, including through the manipulation of co-parenting arrangements.

That matters. Because expectations around co-parenting can require ongoing communication, negotiation, flexibility and access between two people.

In a healthy separated-parenting relationship, that may be entirely appropriate.But where there has been coercive control, those same points of contact can potentially provide opportunities for the pattern of control to continue.

And this is where we need to be very careful about the language we use to describe a victim-survivor who establishes boundaries.

Reducing unnecessary communication is not necessarily being “difficult”. Refusing unreasonable demands is not necessarily being “uncooperative”. Raising genuine safety concerns is not necessarily “high conflict”.

So before we demand that separated parents “co-parent”, perhaps we need to ask a more important question:

Is the relationship required to do that actually safe? Because we cannot demand cooperation without first asking whether cooperation is safe.

Because in the context of family violence, a boundary isn't conflict , it's protection.

Leaving an abusive relationship is only one part of the journey. Rebuilding your life afterwards often brings its own challenges.

Many women are left carrying the emotional effects of trauma while trying to navigate family law, parenting, financial pressures, and the uncertainty of what comes next. It can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to carry it all on your own.

Through trauma-informed one-to-one counselling and navigational support, I help women make sense of their experiences, strengthen their confidence, and take practical steps towards rebuilding a life that feels safe, stable, and empowering.

Whether you're processing the impact of abuse, learning to trust yourself again, or navigating the complexities of life after domestic and family violence, compassionate support is available every step of the way.

If you're ready to invest in your healing, you can book a counselling or navigational support session using the links below. If you'd like to ask a few questions first, my DMs are always open.

You deserve support that meets you where you are.
You deserve to be heard.
And you deserve the opportunity to rebuild with confidence.
