Whether the problem that has brought you here is something recent, or has been an issue for a long time, I can provide an opportunity for you to experience change in your life. Perhaps it has been quite difficult to know exactly what help you need, so we will work that out together and build your confidence and emotional capacity to make the positive change that you're after.

I offer psychodynamic therapy for adults in Melbourne. People often seek therapy when speaking about experiences is difficult or just heavy. Psychodynamic therapy is a place where speech is not a transaction, but may contain meanings outside awareness, and markings of where we have been. Attention is given to the different patterns and points of tension and concern that emerge through speech, and how your life has been shaped by past experiences.

I work with adults experiencing relationship anxiety, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, reassurance-seeking, jealousy or comparison, and reactions that feel disproportionate to what triggered them. These patterns tend to repeat across relationships, and often sit alongside high personal standards or a habit of putting others' needs first. These patterns may have developed as responses to childhood relationships that were inconsistent, critical, or unpredictable. We work to both understand where these patterns came from and how they show up today to work towards lasting change.

Hi. My name is Cori. I am a person-centred, neuroaffirming therapist. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and centred on what matters most to you. I bring a sense of warmth and ease to sessions and understand us to be equals in the therapeutic process. I have significant experience working with people whose identities and experiences are not as often reflected in mainstream spaces and there are no topics off-limits. I work with clients on a broad range of topics and I'm drawn to doing deep work which expands your understanding of self and creates real, lasting changes to your mental health and wellness.
