I offer therapeutic services for people navigating the challenges of life — those quiet, heavy experiences that can make it hard to recognise yourself anymore.
Through the integration of lived experience, professional practice and a strong theoretical background I works in a way that bridges the gaps between theory and practice.
My intention is to share my natural warmth and engaging style to integrate current research from neuroscience, psychology, philosophy and psychotherapy. Together, we’ll make sense of your experiences and work towards meaningful and lasting change.
I specialise in working with clients experiencing addiction and substance dependancy, difficulty managing emotions, developmental trauma and relationship challenges. I work from a psychodynamic and relational approach and has received training in CBT, Internal Family Systems, Schema therapy, DBT, ACT and am heavily influenced by the Conversational Model.
Selecting the right therapist can be a challenging process, and positive therapeutic outcomes largely hinge on the strength of the therapeutic relationship. To assist you in this process I provide an initial 15-minute phone consultation (subject to waitlist availability) to help you determine if I might be a good match.
