Why work with me?

I was born and raised in Zimbabwe and moved to Australia as a young adult. Migration, with all its complexity, has been a defining part of my lived experience. It has deepened my understanding of mental health, life transitions, isolation, grief, and displaced belonging. It has also strengthened my appreciation for the land and nature that hold us, for community, supportive relationships, and the resilience needed to rebuild a sense of self and belonging over time.

Over nearly a decade, I’ve worked across public and private human services, including corporate settings, supporting individuals impacted by trauma and mental health challenges. The people I’ve had the privilege of supporting, alongside my own lived experience and clinical training, continue to shape how I show up in the therapy room: with presence, openness, curiosity, and a deep respect for the complex and beautiful layers we all carry.

At the heart of my clinical practice is the therapeutic relationship. I work from a collaborative, process-oriented, and relational approach, paying attention not only to what’s said and thought, but also to what’s felt in the body, expressed through the nervous system, and revealed in patterns of relating to self and others. I believe meaningful change happens in the context of safety, connection, and mutual respect. This is the kind of space I aim to co-create with each person I work with.
