A life crisis creates emotional upheaval, confusion and uncertainty. My own life crisis literally brought me to my knees. Desperate for help, I made the life-changing decision to see a counsellor and with her compassion, understanding, humour and wisdom, I slowly recovered. I experienced counselling as a safe space to talk about who I was: my identity, my experience, my beliefs, my values and my dreams. Counselling was a liberating and exciting experience and I wanted to give this same experience to others. Initially I fulfilled this desire as I mentored people within the church context, but I recognized that I lacked counselling skills. My hunger to facilitate personal growth, and my passion to help others to change and grow towards their full potential has been the ongoing motivation to pursue my counselling career. As an extension to my skills as a counsellor, studying the discipline of family therapy has given me a greater understanding and awareness of my own family context and has brought a broader dimension to my work with people. My own rich life experience, as well as my extensive training and study in counselling and family therapy means that I can help you if you’re struggling with a couple or family relationship issues, or are going through transition.

| Advice in seeking help: |
| Do your research. If you do not feel completely comfortable with your first choice for any reason, you have the right to look elsewhere. Be kind to yourself and recognise that you are embarking on a long term journey of self discovery. |
Healthy Minds Geelong's vision is to create a positive culture of mental health across the Geelong region.
The HMG concept was born to fill the gap in local mental health support services and in particular the need for a dedicated local information hub to help connect the community to local services, navigate the mental health care system and ultimately empower people to look after their mental health.
