I am a Social Worker and a Gestalt Psychotherapist. I have worked in mental health, disability, with the aged and the dying. Throughout my life journey I have come to have a deep appreciation of the human spirit and its capacity for growth and development. I understand that we are all unique in our response to the challenges that we face, and I work towards creating a supportive and safe environment that allows exploration of what is currently occurring in your life and how it is impacting your ability to live as you would like. Through this process, awareness deepens and the possibility and opportunity for change can occur.

Welcome - I’m Alex, a counsellor working together with people to create lasting change. My practice is grounded in the belief that our painful emotions and struggles offer us unique opportunities for growth, if we turn towards them and listen. As such, I offer an explorative approach to therapy - one which invites you to deeply acquaint yourself with your inner world rather than to suppress it. This process requires courage, but in a trusting and safe relationship, it ultimately brings long-lasting transformation.

You may be high-functioning on the outside yet overwhelmed on the inside — caught in perfectionism, overthinking or self-doubt. You might struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, boundaries or feeling “not enough,” even though you appear capable to others. Perhaps you're exploring identity (personal, relational, cultural, professional or gender-related), navigating relationship or attachment patterns, or noticing the effects of childhood emotional neglect or emotionally immature parents. You want clarity, confidence and lasting change. Syné Collective is a warm and intentional space where you can explore this, free of judgement.

I am a clinical psychologist who works across a variety of presentations including anxiety and mood disorders. I hope to bring a warm, empathic and authentic approach to the issues that people bring to therapy. I recognise the investment that people make when they share their difficulties with someone and commit to therapy, and work to honour that commitment by delivering evidence based treatments, that are tailored to a persons needs. I’ve benefitted greatly from the experience of working across a range of inpatient and outpatient hospital settings.

Although we may be trying our hardest, sometimes we can feel overwhelmed and unable to cope, or that our lives have taken a wrong turn. We can be plagued by depression, anxiety, grief or difficult life transitions. Or we may have mental illness or trauma that continues to get in our way and stops us flourishing. If these difficulties ring true, I believe I can help you get your life and your self back. Together, we will explore where you are now, the person you want to be and the way you want to live.

I trained as a therapist because I know the grief, health-related anxiety and depression of chronic illness can be overwhelming. What was going on pre-diagnosis can also need attention. I am available to validate difficult feelings, explore the sense of burden and work towards acceptance and restoring self-worth and confidence. My lived experience is of managing T1 Diabetes from the age of 17. My research interest is the role of chronic stress in auto-immune conditions and my purpose is to be available to those who seek more grounded and settled nervous systems as part of their approach to managing their health.
