Counselling in 3121

I am a clinical psychologist with more than 15 years' experience in public and private practice with adults. I work in full-time private practice, providing treatment and supervising colleagues and trainees. Earlier in my career, I worked at Orygen Youth Health, delivered post-graduate clinical training at The University of Melbourne, and published papers and books on psychotherapy. I specialise in psychotherapy, supervision, complex presentations, and training psychologists.

Utilizing an integrative, connected, and compassionate approach, I work with a variety of presentations including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, addiction, stress, relationship issues, parenting support, behavioral issues, grief and loss, and general well-being. I encourage my clients to empower themselves through developing an appreciation of their values and strengths whilst also considering the obstacles that distract them from living their values. I consider it a privilege to be but an instrument in my client’s journey to self-awareness, enhanced self-confidence, and improved well-being.

Sometimes we require a helping hand when adjusting to an ever-changing world. I want to help you develop skills and tools to create sustainable fulfilment within your life. Common challenges we all face include issues with self-esteem, processing negative or strong emotions, work-life balance, adjusting to change, developing meaningful relationships, and discovering our purpose. In addition, stress, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and interpersonal conflict can obstruct our ability to experience life to its fullest potential. You have the ability to unlock your own power, and I want to help you discover that inner strength.

My interest is in working with people who have a history of being in unhealthy relationships and who wish to change this. Clients come to me because they notice a pattern of being attracted to individuals who exhibit behaviours such as abusiveness, control, manipulation and devaluation. This often leads to their sense of rejection and abandonment; and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Together, we work through factors such as how to regulate intense emotions, tolerate distress and curb impulsiveness. We also learn strategies such as assertiveness, individuation, as well as gaining awareness about the impact of factors such

I have been working as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Private Practice since 2011. My aim is to create spaces of trust for clients to explore the intricacy of their own lives, to identify the fullness and complexity of their experience, to come to terms with themselves, and to release behaviour which no longer serves them. My work is Humanistic, Person Centred and Emotion Focused, and I use the integrative approaches of my training as entry points for us to language, feel, and honour, all that we carry deeply within us.

Feeling you need support outside of your family and friends? Not sure about changing some aspect of your life? I work with adults and older teenagers looking for growth or change in their current lives. If a trauma, or event has impacted you, we may understand why it's happened, but sometimes "why" isn't enough. Combining psychotherapy with somatic psychology, we can create the change and healing you are seeking.

Therapy can have profound benefits and can lead to lasting change, but it only works when you are ready, and feel trusting of your therapist. For my part, I seek to provide a warm, non-judgemental space for you to explore and experience whatever is most needed at the time—a supportive and curious approach that allows for rich and meaningful relational and inner-world development. If you have been feeling stuck in a cycle, overwhelmed, are experiencing grief or loss, want to make a change or cultivate your strengths, I will work collaboratively with you to enable your growth.

I am a registered psychologist who works with adolescents and adults. I pride myself on making all clients feel welcome and comfortable in the therapeutic space. I like to take the time to deeply understand each individual client in order to cater my therapeutic approach to the individual. I see the client as the expert in the room and tap into their knowledge of themselves and their presenting issues to collaboratively work through and understand the issue together. I endeavour to help clients develop long lasting strategies and insight into themselves to be able to use and apply outside of the therapeutic space.
