Counselling in 3071
Do you frequently worry that your romantic partner won’t care about you as much as you care about them? Or that they won't love you for who you are or be there for you if you open up to them? If you're hoping to feel safe, loved, and accepted in your relationship or friendships, but you can never find people who make you feel this or you never give them the chance to do so, you likely have an attachment issue. I specialise in working with insecure attachment styles, working to help clients find security in a relationship for the first time and to develop a healthier, kinder view of themselves.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the community sector. Having worked in both urban and regional locations in Australia, and in community-based roles in the UK and Canada, I pride myself on being able to connect with people from all walks of life. I've worked with people of all genders, sexualities, cultures and abilities. Whilst working on Vancouver Island, I ran addictions support groups made up of an assortment of individuals. Homeless folks would be facing similar issues to investment banker-types. This led to me becoming more interested in the universality of trauma and PTSD.

My journey into the realm of anxiety and depression counselling was not just a professional choice but a personal calling. Having endured the depths of extreme anxiety and depression myself, I've experienced firsthand the profound impact it can have on one's life and the ripple effects it sends through a family. This personal battle instilled in me a fervent desire to dedicate my life to helping others navigate through their darkest times. My mission is to be a beacon of hope and a source of strength for those who are struggling and to foster a world where no one has to face the journey alone.

The supremacy dream has left us frozen, fragmented and disconnected from ourselves, others, and our ecosystem. Working through our body allows us to touch our vital force of life and come closer to our true desires and dreams. When we feel a sense of safety and belonging within ourselves, we enter into deeper intimacy with our wider webs of love - to our kin, the earth and the cosmos. In a world where the dominant narrative is to hustle more to accomplish your dreams, as your somatic coach, I am here to help your nervous system work less hard so you can relax into your Being and trust your inner inklings for what’s next.

Life is often unpredictable and challenging; and you shouldn’t be expected to hold it all on your own. My approach as an Integrative Psychotherapist is rooted in the belief that we are fundamentally relational beings, we need others to help us understand our own experience. I strive to create a safe and judgement free space for clients to be curious about their own minds and bodies in order to better understand their emotions, patterns and conflicts. Our work is not just focused on solving problems; it’s an invitation to a deeper relationship with yourself and the world around you.

My endeavour is for this work to help you cultivate strong inner foundations and resources; empowering you to expand your innate capacity for growth and transformation.

Disconnected. Anxious. Overwhelmed. Struggling. Uninspired. Challenged. Hurting. Numb. Lost. Any of these experiences resonate? Often when people seek therapy there is an internal voice which is speaking a longing for change. Therapy offers a space to become curious about the how and why we may have found ourselves stuck. It offers time to attune to your internal world and make meaning, move with and through complexity, and orient toward new goals. Working with adults and adolescents I practice with a trauma-informed, evidence-based, collaborative and creative focus. I appreciate the complexities of our deeply human states.
