Have you ever wondered why life seems harder than it looks for everyone else? Perhaps you’ve spent years feeling different, repeating the same patterns, or working against your own brain rather than with it? I help adults better understand themselves so that change happens and sticks. I have a particular interest in ADHD and LGBTQIA+ mental health, while also supporting people with anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, perfectionism and life transitions. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s keeping you stuck and build a life that fits who you are.
I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and honesty. While we may be talking about difficult experiences, therapy doesn't have to feel heavy all the time - there’s room for humour, perspective and lightness too. I’ll support you when you need it and gently challenge you when it helps. I draw primarily on ACT and Schema Therapy.
If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, the first step is to book a free 15-minute phone call. We’ll chat about what’s bringing you to therapy, any questions, and work out whether we’re the right fit for each other. I see clients in Kew (Mondays), Fitzroy (Wednesdays), and via telehealth video on Thursdays plus Monday and Friday mornings.
