As a MH social worker my clients are eligible to a Medicare rebate with a MHC plan. I bring 40 years experience in counselling, psychology and somatic psychotherapy. I am trauma and somatically trained and work with all trauma, child, adult and service related. I consult on all issues and life challenges. My extensive training & experience enables me to resonate with my clients, offering different approaches according to the need. I work with CBT and other verbal approaches while including strategies to address the issues, or more deeply, to address emotionally based struggles or childhood issues playing out in adult life.
I am somatically (body) trained, adding depth to dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, addictive behaviours and life patterns. Somatic work facilitates the release of embodied patterns, emotion and trauma. I'm a qualified Imago Relationship Therapist for a deep & effective approach to couples counselling. I also offer parenting guidance and play therapy.
Life circumstances can be very challenging and I believe every challenge is an invitation to grow. It can be useful to seek assistance when we are challenged so that we can grow out of our usual patterns of behaviour and develop more productive and rewarding ways of handling life and being in the world. To me, therapy is a process of personal growth.

I work with clients experiencing any mental health issues or life challenges that are often rooted in complex relationships, family dynamics and current life stresses. We build a shared understanding of what you are going through. We pay close attention to how your body holds and expresses stress and trauma. Using body based interventions alongside talking to support regulation and integration.

I often include a somatic approach to therapy. We discover how to unlock stuck patterns of behaviour, held in the body. Somatic approaches can help calm the nervous system, reducing anxiety or build energy in the case of depression. You discover how to connect more deeply with yourself, finding a profound acceptance of who you are and an ability to meet others from a place of authenticity.
