Reconnect with yourself, discover your strengths and believe in what's possible again.

Have you reached a point where you're not sure what comes next?

Maybe you've finished school and don't know what to do.

Maybe university wasn't what you expected.

Maybe you've tried working but nothing has felt like the right fit.

Or maybe you've simply lost confidence after things haven't gone to plan.

If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

At Second Sunrise Studio, I help young people slow down, reconnect with themselves and discover a path that genuinely feels right for them.

Together we'll explore your strengths, interests, values and goals while building the confidence, routines and practical skills needed to take your next step, whether that's returning to study, finding meaningful work, becoming more independent or simply feeling hopeful again.

Support is available online Australia-wide and in person throughout Melbourne. Every session is personalised to your goals, strengths and where you are in your journey, helping you build confidence, independence and a future that feels right for you. If you're an NDIS participant, sessions may be funded through your plan.

Whether you're reaching out yourself or you're a parent looking for support for your young person, this is a place where you can take things one step at a time, without pressure or judgement.

You do not have to figure it all out on your own.

Living with disability, ADHD, autism, anxiety, mental health challenges or navigating a major life transition can feel overwhelming. Whether you're looking to build confidence, discover your strengths or find your direction, you don't have to face it alone.

At Second Sunrise Studio, we provide compassionate, personalised support that helps young people build confidence, discover their strengths, develop independence and find a future they feel excited about.

  • Second Sunrise Studio was created from lived experience.

    After experiencing a life-changing stroke in my early twenties and rebuilding my own confidence, independence and identity, I understand how overwhelming life can feel when everything suddenly changes.

    Living with disability taught me that recovery isn't simply about overcoming challenges—it is about discovering new strengths, rebuilding confidence and creating a meaningful life in your own way.

    That experience shapes every session I provide. Whether you are seeking therapeutic support, disability mentoring or counselling, you'll be met with empathy, respect and genuine understanding rather than judgement.

    I know how isolating it can feel to ask for help, which is why I have created a calm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, supported and empowered to move forward at your own pace.

    My goal isn't to tell you how to live your life. It is to walk alongside you, helping you build confidence, strengthen emotional wellbeing and take practical steps towards the future you want.
