Maybe it's trust. Maybe it's something you've never said out loud - about a relationship, your past, or how you use alcohol or drugs to cope.
You don't need to have it figured out before you reach out.
I believe people do their best work in therapy when they feel genuinely safe, understood and accepted.
My background spans social work, mental health, and AOD (Alcohol and Other Drugs) work, which shapes a practical as well as compassionate approach.
I have a particular interest in supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and the LGBTQIA+ community in a warm, affirming and non-judgemental space.
I Work With: Individuals | Couples
Age: Teens (16+) | Adults
Languages: English | Macedonian
I work with people navigating:
Attachment & Relationship Patterns: the patterns that affect trust, connection, and self-worth, including couples work.
Trauma & PTSD: processing past experiences and building resilience, at your pace.
Alcohol & Other Drugs: practical, compassionate, non-judgemental support, drawing on a background in AOD work.
Grief & Loss: compassionate support through bereavement and life transitions.
If what you're experiencing isn't listed here: please still reach out - a lot of what brings people to counselling doesn't look like its label at first.
What working together looks like
I draw on attachment based, trauma focused, CBT, and person centred approaches, and I tailor the pace and structure to you.
In couples sessions, the work is often as much about the pattern between two people as it is about either person individually.
Many clients notice that having a genuinely non-judgemental space changes what they're able to say out loud, often for the first time.
For those in Melbourne’s inner North, I can provide in person sessions on request.
Maybe trust feels hard to hold on to - with a partner, your family, or yourself.
Maybe you're carrying something from the past that still shapes how safe you feel today, or navigating a relationship with alcohol or other drugs that feels more complicated than the people around you understand.
Whatever's brought you here, you can take things at your own pace and share only what feels right, when you're ready.
