My Story

548939570ed9920d30c57b06248e9b7a-stroke-

Welcome! I'm Natalie, a mental health counsellor also working in the not-for-profit sector with diverse communities to promote wellbeing. As a private practitioner and family educator, my Vietnamese-Australian background and lived experience as a parent/carer have given me some insight into the way that a range of intersectional factors can shape our sense of identity, attachment and belonging, as well as our ability to care for ourselves and others. My aim is to support individuals in exploring personal and relational challenges in a compassionate, culturally-safe and trauma-sensitive way which encourages re-connection and healing.
