Community Nurse (RN)
I have been in Sydney for 15 years. I worked as an RN in the health sector in various places. I worked in St George Hospital for 4 years and as a community nurse for 10 years in Nurses on Wheels.
I received training at the Australian Institute of Family Counselling. I have experience in handling domestic violence, couple relationships, premarital counselling, postnatal depression, infertility and anxiety, lack of intimacy, menopause related anxiety, and depression.
I have many nursing and counselling skills, but most importantly, it is not only the skill but also the practice of active listening. I am an empathetic person who treats people with respect.
Don't hesitate to contact me as I'd like to make you feel secure knowing that you are in good hands.
