I'm an accredited Medicare registered therapist (AMHSW) with rebates available. I work with trauma, anxiety, mental health issues, grief and loss. I am highly experienced in the area of complex trauma and have a deep understanding of the ways this impacts everyday life and connections. Around trauma, I work both somatically and with talk therapy. I offer a safe and accepting space for members of the LGBTIQ+ community, providing support and understanding around issues such as coming out, gender identity, dysphoria and exploring sexual orientation. I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to work in a person-centred holistic way.
My therapeutic approach utilises EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, Attachment Theory, Trauma-informed Therapy and Poly Vagal Theory. My work is implicitly trauma informed and as a qualified body worker I hold awareness of the ways we embody our emotions and work to support you in finding ease and meaning in your experiences.
Often we diminish our challenges & we compare them to those of others. Challenges in all shapes and forms are worthy of support. My goal is to provide a safe & connected space to explore what's happening for you. If you'd like to learn more about how I work please visit the Stable Self website.

Rather than relying on a single therapy model, I tailor treatment to your needs by integrating EMDR, Schema Therapy, ACT and somatic approaches. My work is informed by attachment theory, neuroscience and an appreciation of how both our lived experiences and broader social context shape wellbeing.
