Dynamic Focus

With over 25 years of experience in the aged care sector, Dynamic Focus provides compassionate, knowledgeable guidance to help you navigate this stage with confidence and clarity.
Aged care can be both complex and emotionally demanding. For many individuals and families, it represents a significant life transition that involves both practical decisions and emotional adjustments. Feelings of uncertainty, loss of independence, and changes to daily life can create stress and anticipatory grief.

Dynamic Focus offers a range of services designed to support individuals and families through the emotional and logistical aspects of aged care. Each service is grounded in empathy, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the aged care system.
Individual Counselling: Confidential, one-on-one counselling for older adults at home or within care facilities. Sessions provide emotional support, help manage adjustment challenges, and promote wellbeing through life’s transitions.
Family Counselling: Support for family members adapting to changing roles, coping with a loved one’s diagnosis, or managing the emotional strain that often accompanies care decisions.
Guidance Through the Aged Care System: Clear, step-by-step assistance navigating Community Home Care Packages (CHCP) and Aged Care Assessment Teams (ACAT). This includes help understanding eligibility, preparing documentation, and coordinating appropriate care options.
Ongoing Support and Coordination: Continued guidance as needs evolve — from organising in-home services to facilitating smooth transitions into residential aged care. Dynamic Focus remains a trusted partner every step of the way.

Therapy That Fits Your Life: Flexible in-person or online appointments so you can access support in the way that suits you best.
Evidence-Based and Individualised: Grounded in proven techniques, adapted to your personal goals and circumstances.
A Safe, Welcoming Space: A calm and non-judgemental environment where you can speak openly and be heard.
Confidential and Trustworthy: Your privacy is always respected, with care guided by professional standards.
Holistic Wellbeing: Focused not only on mental health but also on mindfulness, stress management, and lifestyle balance.
Inclusive Care: Experienced in supporting LGBTIQA+, culturally diverse, and neurodiverse individuals.
Real Results: We set meaningful goals together to create genuine and lasting progress.
Collaborative Care: Willing to work alongside your GP, psychiatrist, or other allied health professionals for integrated support.
During this time of transition, both practical and emotional support are essential.
Dynamic Focus is committed to walking alongside you, providing the expertise and
compassion needed to help you and your family adjust and make informed decisions
about aged care.

What brings me joy is witnessing the quiet turning points when someone finds words for what they have carried, breathes a little easier, or reconnects with a sense of possibility. That is why I do this work.
I’m a counsellor with more than 25 years of practice. I blend my social work background with a warm, practical style. My sessions are tailored and draw on EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, ACT, solution focused strategies, and hypnotherapy. My focus is on trauma recovery and emotional wellbeing, with the belief that people can grow and live with greater ease given the right support.
