Deaf Counselling Services

I specialise in providing counselling services for Deaf clients and their families in both English and Auslan.

I hold a graduate degree in Social Work from the University of Sydney. I was previously employed as the School Counsellor for Thomas Pattison School, North Rocks (Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children). At the school I worked with signing Deaf children, their families as well as teachers. I spend most of my time now working in private practice, seeing Deaf and Hearing Impaired people.

Growing up a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) provides me with an in-depth understanding of the lives of Deaf people and their families. I am also a professional NAATI interpreter working with clients in a variety of settings. Furthermore, I provide training in Deafness Awareness to a number of organisations.

My counselling practice includes working with adults and children on a wide variety of issues such as:

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Anxiety

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Communication

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Depression

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Relationship issues

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Self-esteem

I provide counselling to individuals, couples and families.
