Hi, I’m Janice. As a Counsellor and the only Certified Mother-Daughter Coach in Australia and the South Pacific region, I bring over 25 years of experience helping women navigate complex family relationships. For 16 years, I worked as a Counsellor and Parent Educator in community and NGO settings supporting individuals and families with relationship issues, parenting concerns and emotional wellbeing, before moving into private practice.

During this time, I noticed a recurring theme. Many of the women who came to me, carried wounds from their relationships with their mothers. These strained connections left them feeling inadequate and frustrated, struggling to set and maintain boundaries, and overwhelmed in both their personal and professional lives. This insight reshaped my practice. Now, I focus on helping women uncover the root causes of these tensions and develop a new understanding of themselves and their mother-daughter relationship.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. Growing up with a critical and emotionally detached mother, experiencing bullying at school, and battling social anxiety and feelings of inadequacy, I understand how these wounds shape us. I’m committed to helping women overcome the relationship difficulties that prevent healthy connections, push past debilitating anxiety and reclaim their voice.

If you’re struggling with grief, guilt or emotional heaviness in your mother-daughter relationship, or you simply don’t know which way to turn, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll navigate these challenges so you can find clarity, peace and the freedom to move forward as your authentic self.

I have a Graduate Diploma in Systemic (Family) Counselling, am a member of Mother-Daughter Coaching International, and a member of the Australian & New Zealand Mental Health Association.

I am a Certified Coach with the USA based Mother-Daughter Coaching International, the world’s leading trainer of Mother-Daughter Coaches, and I am the only Certified Mother-Daughter Coach in Australia and the South Pacific region.
