You may be seeking support and guidance to address past experiences, present obstacles and future goals. I am able to hear your side of things and explore the overlooked strengths in your story. In doing so we can work on reducing the noise of your problems, tuning in to what matters to you, and finding new paths towards it. I am a neuro-affirming and gender-affirming practitioner.
With a non-pathologising approach, I am informed by narrative therapy to draw on your life story, recognise that life events have context, and find sources of resilience. I integrate elements of mindfulness psychology, expressive forms like writing and drawing, and take a humanistic view of how our environment, social and cultural identity offer meaning.
While I more often work with groups, I am available via video call from Victoria to individual clients nationwide.
