Counselling in 2042
I offer psychotherapy to individuals seeking to understand their relationship issues, emotional conflicts and psychological difficulties. I provide a safe, non judgemental and supportive space for you to talk freely about whatever may be concerning you. You will have time and space to slow down to think through your thoughts and feel your feelings as I invite and welcome all the parts of you to be seen and heard. Together we can explore and process the impact of past wounds and relationships and as we make sense of what you discover you will strengthen your ability to fiercely be yourself and create the life that you desire.

Often children don’t have words to describe their experiences and feelings and instead reveal them through behaviours which can be misunderstood. They may get into trouble, be labelled, or disconnect. I work with children and families just like this. As a carer, reaching out for support can be the hardest step. I work closely with you and your child through Play Therapy which is relationship based therapy for children aged 3-12 years. Play is a child’s natural way of communicating and Play Therapy creates the environment where the therapist enters into a child’s world and understands the experience from their perspective.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about helping adults navigate various psychological and emotional challenges through increasing personal insight and the capacity for change. I am trained in treating various issues, some of which include anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, communication and emotion-regulation difficulties. I provide a warm and collaborative space where challenges can be safely explored and worked through. I believe that a trusting and authentic relationship is integral to therapeutic progress and I place great emphasis on listening deeply and connecting.

If you're struggling to cope or if you've tried everything to manage but nothing seems to be working, I'd like to hear from you. There is always a way forward and I can help you find what works best for your situation. I work with trauma mainly, mental health and substance abuse. I've worked in the trauma-addiction fields for over 10 years in public and private organisations. I'm also SIRA (Work Cover) registered and NDIS (self or plan-managed)

Currently unable to accept new referrals - several months wait time. I provide psychological intervention to young people (12+) and adults (18+), with a focus on developing insight into your current life difficulties (eg anxiety, depression, issues connecting with people), considering how you would like your life to be, and beginning to take actions toward that desired life. I utilise Schema Therapy, with elements from a range of other therapy models (eg ACT, IPT, DBT, CBT) where needed, particularly when assisting people to develop new skills.

Accepting new clients. TRAUMA? PTSD? ANXIETY? It can be hard to reach out, yet therapy doesn’t have to be miserable! The healing power of psychotherapy can be found in the quality of your relationship with your therapist. Perhaps you are overwhelmed and need help with emotional regulation. Or perhaps you're just going through the motions, rather than living life. Perhaps you've heard about Internal Family Systems, EMDR Therapy, or Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and you'd like to find out more. I invite you to contact me today. In addition to individual therapy, I also offer Couples Counselling. You are welcome here.

“I am so looking forward to getting to know you as a unique individual, and working together to create the life you wish for. I believe that creating sustainable change is only possible when working with people holistically. I have always cringed at traditional, clinical styles of therapy, so instead I am committed to treating you as a real person and working together to help you live your best life. I love it when people take a proactive approach to their mental health. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t appreciate how much of a privilege it is to get to know my clients and work together with them in a meaningful way"

I work with people to help improve their psychological well-being. There may come times in life where we feel a sense of getting stuck, where our life's map going forward seems out of touch with our every-day experiences and feelings. At these times it can greatly help to have an ally who can genuinely listen, understand and accept things as they are in the life and experiences of another. This secure feeling of support can give individuals space to pause, breathe out and discover time to collaboratively seek for tools, insights and understandings with which to help clarify and calibrate their greater life's map.

Are you experiencing stress, anxiety or depression? Maybe you don't feel at your best, not as in control as you'd like. Perhaps you've had angry outbursts, tears or panic attacks. It's not uncommon and can be confusing. As a counsellor and therapist, I'd like to help. We can work together to overcome painful stress and anxiety. If you're facing challenges with relocation, work or family, we can deal with those difficulties too.

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.
