I’m a professional counsellor, with qualifications in emotionally focused therapy as well as counselling and workplace training. These days, I run a small private practice and I also work as a counsellor and relationship educator for Relationships Australia.Given my personal experiences, I chose to work in the grief and loss field for many years, providing training and facilitating support groups, and I spoke publicly about both suicide postvention, and grief and loss. My Daughter, Myself is my first book. In 2016, my short story ‘Big Grief’ was published in the Hunter Writers Centre publication, Grieve.
