Safari is a kind, highly experienced, down-to-earth counsellor who creates a space where people can talk openly about what really matters, especially the parts that are often hardest to say out loud. She is a registered counsellor, sex therapist, and relationship counsellor, bringing both professional expertise and a deeply human approach to her work. Safari works in her private practice, offering sessions both in person and online across Australia and around the world. With over twenty-five years in helping professions, Safari has shaped a grounded, practical, and compassionate perspective. She is known for her friendly presence and ability to build trust, helping clients feel safe, understood, and supported without judgment, even when discussing sensitive or complex aspects of their lives.
Safari has a strong focus on relationships, intimacy, and connection. She works with individuals and people in relationships navigating desire differences, communication challenges, and the impact of trust ruptures, including those involving sexual behaviours such as pornography use or infidelity. Drawing on her understanding of rehabilitation, she recognises how patterns such as addiction, as well as differences in values around intimacy, pornography, and parenting, can deeply affect connection and trust. Her work is inclusive of LGBTQIA+, kink-aware, and non-traditional relationships, including ENM and open relationships, and she honours the unique values, identities, and dynamics each client brings. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, Safari is curious about what connection, intimacy, and fulfilment genuinely mean for you.
Her approach is integrative and draws on evidence-based therapies and humanistic and emotionally focused approaches. She includes these in sessions in a flexible, client-centred way, so each person’s needs and pace are considered. Safari is deeply committed to ongoing learning and professional development, and is completing her fourth postgraduate degree this year. She regularly engages in further training, research, and reflective practice to ensure her work remains current, ethical, and responsive to the evolving field of counselling and sexology.
At the heart of Safari’s work is a genuine belief in people’s capacity to reconnect – with themselves and with others. She values those moments when clients begin to feel a sense of relief, clarity, or hope, often after feeling stuck or alone for some time. Whether working with individuals or people in relationships, Safari supports clients to build insight, strengthen communication, and move toward lives and relationships that feel more connected, meaningful, and aligned with who they are.
