I have been in Sydney for 16 years. I have worked as an RN in various health sector positions. I worked in St George Hospital for 4 years and as a community nurse for over 10 years in Nurses On Wheels.
I received training at the Australian Institute of Family Counselling. I have experience in handling domestic disputes, couple relationships, premarital counselling, postnatal depression, infertility, anxiety, lack of intimacy, menopause related anxiety, and depression.
I have many clinical and counselling skills, but most importantly, it is the skill and the practice of active listening. I am an empathetic person who treats people with respect.
