Shores Counselling

At Shores Counselling, I provide warm, compassionate and evidence-based counselling for adolescents and young adults navigating the challenges that can come with relationships, friendships, study, identity and life transitions.

​

Adolescence and young adulthood are important stages of growth, change and self-discovery, but they can also bring uncertainty, pressure and moments when additional support is needed. Difficulties with friendships, relationships, school, emotions or confidence can sometimes leave young people feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to move forward. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space where young people can feel heard, understood and accepted.

​

I work alongside each person to understand their experiences, strengths and individual needs. Counselling can provide an opportunity to make sense of difficult emotions, develop coping strategies, build confidence and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual, recognising that everyone’s experiences, strengths and needs are different. Together, we can work towards meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.

​

I also recognise that supporting a young person through difficult times can be challenging for parents and caregivers. Reaching out for support is an important step, particularly when it can be difficult to know what your young person is experiencing or how best to help. I aim to create a space where young people feel comfortable being themselves, while families feel understood and supported throughout the process.

​

Located in Dee Why on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Shores Counselling provides evidence-based individual counselling tailored to the individual needs and experiences of adolescents and young adults. Support is available for a range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, low mood, self-esteem and confidence, emotional regulation, neurodivergence, friendship and relationship difficulties, school avoidance and disengagement, learning difficulties, study and organisation, body image and eating concerns, life skills and navigating life transitions.

​

My aim is to help young people develop a stronger understanding of themselves, build confidence and feel more equipped to navigate life with a greater sense of self, confidence and direction.
