Life can be perplexing at times. Psychotherapy can help. It firstly involves meeting together to understand your current experience and to foster a relationship of safety. We can then work respectfully to help you find fresh and empowering responses to the patterns and relationships that are causing stress and distress. I draw on evidence-based approaches - developmental psychology (ANZAP), mindfulness training (MBSR and MiCBT) and Internal Family Systems Therapy. These approaches harness present moment awareness and exploration to build a more compassionate and empowering relationship with yourself.

Are you struggling to find a balance in your life? do you feel out of control, even though you keep trying to take charge? Are you successful, yet find you're not happy, feel flat, though it all looks good on paper. You have tried different things or tried nothing, afraid to go there. This is usually an invitation towards change. It is not always convenient or comfortable, yet it is unavoidable, as often we have been feeling like this for some time. Asking for help is an act of courage, a willingness to go where you have not before.

Hi there, I am a psychologist practicing in Surry Hills, Sydney. I typically see adolescent to adult clients who benefit from a second human to support them through life's difficulties. For example, people whose daily lives are impacted by mood disturbances, such as when experiencing anxiety and depression, or people undergoing life stressors such as when working through major life transitions or shifts and difficulties in their relationships. And so much more; scroll below for a range of presentations that I have experience working with!

Sydney CBD Counsellor supporting high-achieving women experiencing anxiety, burnout and chronic overthinking. You might look capable and composed on the outside, but internally feel wired, exhausted or stuck in overdrive. Many of the women I work with are used to holding everything together, at work, in relationships and for their families, while quietly carrying overwhelm, self-pressure and emotional fatigue. Therapy offers a space to slow down, untangle patterns of overthinking and people-pleasing, calm your nervous system and build a steadier, more sustainable way of functioning.

I see psychotherapy as a collaborative journey of self discovery that can lead you to a more engaged and meaningful life. As we are all unique and complex beings, each of us will do this differently. Whether you feel stressed, overwhelmed, angry or depressed about some part of your life, as a therapist I will listen deeply, and hear what you say. Together, through our gentle conversations, we can find insights into your situation and identify the choices that are available to lead you to a better place. In my experience we all have the capacity to heal and grow in a caring and supportive environment.

I work with couples, families, adults, parents and adolescents in a calm space outside of everyday pressures. People often come to me because their relationships are triggering emotional pain and they feel lost. Therapy is about finding new ways to think and relate to your problems and act accordingly. Change can come about when you become less reactive and get more thoughtful. With the assistance of a neutral person (therapist) you can grow yourself and find ways to manage what previously felt impossible to tolerate in both yourself and your relationships.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, tired, hopeless or lacking joy; like your emotions are uncontrollable or that they do not match with reality; that your worry is getting out of hand or that there is no longer any point, then it might be a good time to seek some support. ​ We are social creatures, and despite what our modern society might have us believe, we all need human connection to function. Seeking support is a huge sign of strength – the strength to actually reach out and let someone in, in order to start the healing process. ​ If you can relate to this or if you have set yourself a personal development goal please reach out.
