I trained as a therapist because I know the grief, health-related anxiety and depression of chronic illness can be overwhelming. What was going on pre-diagnosis can also need attention. I am available to validate difficult feelings, explore the sense of burden and work towards acceptance and restoring self-worth and confidence. My lived experience is of managing T1 Diabetes from the age of 17. My research interest is the role of chronic stress in auto-immune conditions and my purpose is to be available to those who seek more grounded and settled nervous systems as part of their approach to managing their health.

The core of my integrative trauma informed practice is Gestalt therapy including elements of Schema therapy, Internal Family Systems and Buddhist psychology.
My wealth of lived experiences including gender transition inform my collaborative client centred counselling approach. Whilst presenting issues may include depression, anxiety, identity incongruence, dysphoria, trauma, interpersonal challenges, addiction, loneliness, and more, I seek to work with the underlying causes as I believe that through addressing the root causes of the presenting symptoms that psychological wellbeing can be achieved without judgement or further pathologisation.

I have a deep personal commitment to Buddhist Psychology, and am a practitioner of Insight Meditation (Vipassana) and Yoga.
Hello. If you’re searching for a new and effective way of coping with stress, burnout, anxiety or complex trauma recovery, third-wave psychology might be the secret ingredient you’re looking for (mindfulness combined with traditional talk therapy). Maybe you’re suffering the horrible confusion and pain of narcissistic abuse or bullying. I can help. I have lived experience and in-depth understanding of what you’re going through. I’ve published a book, a podcast, blog and recently a short article in Australian Counselling Journal.

Sometimes you just need to talk. TRAUMA? PTSD? ANXIETY? I invite you to contact me. You're welcome to talk in depth about whatever is bothering you. It can feel daunting to reach out but please remember that therapy doesn’t have to be miserable! Sometimes, we are out of touch with our feelings because our early caregivers could not meet our needs. Perhaps it was not safe or acceptable to be ourselves in the past. Psychotherapy involves learning to deeply understand yourself. The healing power of psychotherapy can be found in the quality of your relationship with your therapist. You are welcome to contact me today.

I support people who understand the importance of healthy and stable relationships to repair, renew and relate more deeply. If you are tired of playing out the same relationship patterns, if your relationship struggles with gridlocked conflict, lack of intimacy or the hurt of infidelity, I can help. I assist individuals and couples in relationship crises to gain tools and grow from attachment insecurity, infidelity and betrayal; loss of trust, passion or intimacy; ongoing conflict, overwhelm, anxiety, trauma, managing dysregulation and life transitions. When relationships break down, getting support is better than struggling alone.

Feeling distressed about your mental health is entirely normal. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed about COVID, work or relationships, I believe that addressing psychological challenges should begin with developing an awareness of the influence of past experiences on current mental health. My role as a clinical psychologist involves working with you to understand the potentially traumatic origins of your current mental health difficulties. The process of developing awareness through exploring your past and addressing your current challenges requires a comfortable therapeutic relationship with your psychologist.

Clients can present to therapy for a variety of reasons. On the other hand, clients can feel overwhelmed or unsure about where to begin with therapy. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space that meets where the client is at, and gently explores what's happening in their life. Where together we can work towards goals that are alligned with their hopes, aspirations, desires or needs; to improve connection with the self, interpersonal relationships and the interplay with their surrounding social world.
