Supporting women and frontline workers to pause, heal, restore wellbeing, and thrive with confidence.
Pause. Heal. Restore. Thrive.
Mending Space is a wellbeing service for women and frontline workers seeking a compassionate, non-clinical approach to mental wellbeing.
As an Accredited Social Worker, I provide one-to-one support using trauma-informed, evidence-based Focused Psychological Strategies (FPS), including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, meditation, solution-focused practice, reflective storytelling, and strengths-based approaches.
I support women and frontline workers experiencing stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, life transitions, health challenges, caregiving pressures, grief, loss, and cultural adjustment. Together, we focus on restoring wellbeing, building resilience, regulating the nervous system, strengthening coping strategies, and reconnecting with personal strengths.
The philosophy behind Mending Space is inspired by jewellery making. Just as individual pieces are carefully brought together to create something meaningful and beautiful, people can reconnect with their strengths, values, and stories to create positive change and renewed wellbeing.
Mending Space offers a safe and supportive environment to pause, reflect, gain clarity, develop practical solutions, and move forward with confidence.

The Mending Space philosophy
The name Mending Space reflects the belief that wellbeing can be restored one step at a time. Just as a piece of jewellery is thoughtfully created by bringing together individual elements, people can reconnect with their strengths, experiences, values, and hopes to build a more meaningful and fulfilling future. My role is to help you identify what is already working, uncover new possibilities, and support you to move beyond surviving towards thriving.
Private-pay, self-funded, and NDIS self-managed clients are welcome.
Supporting women and frontline workers to pause, restore wellbeing, build resilience, and thrive confidently.
Mending Space is my signature wellbeing program for women and frontline workers seeking a non-clinical, compassionate approach to mental wellbeing.
As an Accredited Social Worker, I offer one-to-one support using trauma-informed, evidence-based Focused Psychological Strategies (FPS), including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, meditation, storytelling, strengths-based practice, and solution-focused approaches.
Mending Space was inspired by my personal and professional understanding that healing often begins when we create space to pause. Like the process of creating a piece of jewellery, wellbeing is built one step at a time, through patience, reflection, connection, and care.
I support women and frontline workers navigating life transitions, stress, burnout, health challenges, caregiving responsibilities, loss, cultural adjustment, and changing life circumstances. Together, we focus on identifying strengths, building confidence, regulating emotions, reducing stress, and restoring capacity for daily life.
Mending Space helps people move beyond simply coping to developing the skills, resilience, and self-awareness needed to flourish.
Pause. Reflect. Restore. Thrive.
