I provide therapeutic support to individuals (aged 16+) from the queer, transgender, gender-questioning (LGBTQIA+) and neurodivergent (Autism, ADHD, Tourette Syndrome, etc.) communities in the Sydney area (in-person/online) and Australia-wide (online only). I can help you to manage symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression, improve your mental health, enhance your relationships, improve sense of identity and direction, work through 'coming out' or 'inviting in', increase self-esteem or navigate big life transitions and changes.
I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where individuals can explore their unique identities and experiences, offering a sense of pride and empowerment. My goal is to create a collaborative and relaxed therapeutic environment that supports individuals to develop resilience, self-awareness, and self-acceptance, and make positive change in their lives.
Deciding to see a therapist can be daunting. I am committed to providing clients with an experience where they feel safe, heard & understood. I offer a FREE 20 minute phone or video chat to see if we’re the right match. Simply contact me to organise one. You can also find more information on my Proud Place Therapy website, and can request a chat there too.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. As each client has their own individual needs and preferences, I believe that one size does not fit all. Therefore, I tailor my support to each client, taking an integrative approach to therapy by drawing from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities.
