About Marie
Over her career she has worked within NSW Health, non-profit organisations and the Australian Public Service, supporting older people, carers and women affected by domestic and family violence, trauma and complex life stressors. She supports adults facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, caring responsibilities, health changes, ageing, and other major life transitions.
Marie has a particular interest in working with older adults, people living with dementia and their carers, and women who have experienced long-term stress or domestic and family violence. Her style is warm, grounded and collaborative, using person-centred, strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches to understand each person’s story, cultural context and sense of safety.
She works with clients to set realistic goals, build on existing strengths and develop practical strategies to navigate challenges. Marie aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely, and she views her role as walking alongside clients to help make sense of what they are experiencing and to support steps toward a more hopeful future.
Evidence-based approaches and convenient online care
Marie uses person-centred practice, which focuses on understanding each person as an individual and working from their priorities and values. This approach helps when navigating relationship challenges, grief, caring roles and major life transitions by centering the client’s experience and goals.
She also applies a strengths-based orientation that identifies and builds on existing resources and coping skills, helping people find practical ways to manage stress, caregiving demands, health changes and communication problems. In addition, Marie’s trauma-informed practice recognises the impact of trauma and aims to create a calm, respectful therapeutic process that supports recovery from abuse, domestic and family violence, or long-term stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marie will work with each person to explore options, tailor techniques to their needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as goals evolve, ensuring the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling caregiving, health appointments or work commitments. Video calls and phone sessions enable real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging can suit those who prefer shorter, more frequent check-ins or who need a flexible schedule. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and continue therapeutic work from wherever is most practical.
