Welcome to Restoring Hope Counselling Services

I’m an ACA Registered Counsellor with a deeply personal and professional understanding of grief, trauma, emotional distress, anxiety, and rebuilding after life’s hardest moments.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent more than 20 years working within funeral services, supporting families during some of the most devastating and emotional times of their lives. That experience shaped the way I support people today — with empathy, patience, honesty, and genuine understanding.

My work also extends into suicide postvention and community support, helping individuals, families, and wider support networks navigate the aftermath of trauma and loss.

In 2026, I was honoured to receive the Hawkesbury Local Woman of the Year award in recognition of my contribution to mental health support and community wellbeing.

At Restoring Hope Counselling Services, my goal is simple:

To provide a safe, supportive, and compassionate space where people feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward at their own pace.
