Counselling in 6021

I work with heterosexual and same sex couples and individuals who are in a place of questioning or are seeking help with a specific situation or event. For couples they may be wanting some "fine tuning" in specific areas of their relationship or they may be experiencing a crisis due to infidelity or a breakdown in communication and may be unsure if they can or want to stay together. Individuals may be ready to explore childhood issues, dealing with trauma or having an existential crisis. I teach Circle of Security an attachment based parent program and recently became certified to provide Safe & Sound Protocol.

My specialty is helping women work through life events that have had a power differential and through the processing and healing from this, regain your power and confidence.

Are you always ‘in your head’, worrying about one thing or the other? Does the glass seem half-empty to you? Perhaps your mind always thinks of the worst possible scenario! We are not our thoughts but sometimes they can wrestle their way outside of our minds and impact how we live our lives. Managing the effects of intense emotions can be difficult to handle on your own, especially with other things like stressful life events, interpersonal relationship issues, and work/study stressors. I have experience working with a diverse range of clients, across age, presenting issue, background factors and belief systems.

As a Clinical Psychologist I have experience working with a range of mental health issues, like depression and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, anger and stress management, difficulties with self-esteem and self-compassion, disordered eating habits, adjustment difficulties, chronic illness, sleep difficulties, trauma and work-related issues. I pride myself on establishing a strong therapeutic alliance with clients of all ages and enjoy working from a person-centred and psychodynamic approach.

I believe it is important to work with clients - not dictate to them. My preferred treatment method is to focus on the areas that you want to work on. I believe a partnership not a prescription is important. Sticking to values means more than putting them on a website - it means actually living them. I am genuine, open and also have a sense of humour (though it is twisted/cynical/dark). I work best when clients feel comfortable, if that means we swear a lot in session - I am happy to make that sacrifice! I work clients across many areas from complex trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and workplace issues.

Adult ADHD is my passion. I enjoy assisting clients to reach their potential as a neurodiverse individual. I am a practitioner with lived experience of ADHD - gaining a diagnosis as an adult.
