Most weeks, the work is small and slow. That's not a limitation. That's the work.
The parts of life that don't have neat names yet.
I'm originally from Salento, in southern Italy, and I work with women across Australia — mostly on the parts of life that look fine from the outside but don't feel that way underneath. The slow grief inside good news. An anxiety you've gotten very good at hiding. A relationship, a career, or a sense of self that's quietly shifting.
I came to this work because I know what it feels like to need a space like this and not know where to find it. I've been in some of these places myself. I've sat with a lot of women — many of them through Red Nose — in the others.
I don't think you need to be in crisis to deserve support. Sometimes quiet struggling is the hardest kind.
Mostly, we just talk.
Sessions are slow on purpose. Most weeks the work is small — naming what's actually happening, then staying with it long enough to see it clearly. I won't hand you scripts or affirmations.
I'll be honest with you, gently, even when it would be easier not to be. We'll go at your pace. You don't need to come prepared, and you don't need to know what you want to talk about before you arrive.
If a particular tool or approach is useful, I'll bring it in and tell you what I'm doing. But the bones of it are just two people, talking, slowly.
The path here.
I'm an ACA Registered Counsellor (Member #2243), and I hold a Diploma of Counselling through the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC). I'm currently completing my Master of Counselling.
Most of what I've learned about sitting with grief, though, has come from working alongside families through Red Nose — Australia's leading organisation for stillbirth, miscarriage, and infant loss support — both online and in person.
That work taught me that holding space for someone over video isn't a lesser version of being in a room with them. It's its own thing, and it can be its own kind of close.
