I work with adults who want to better understand themselves—especially when life feels stuck, relationships are strained, or familiar emotional patterns keep resurfacing. My approach is thoughtful and steady, offering a space where you can say the things you don’t usually say, feel what’s often pushed aside, and begin to make sense of it all with support. Some people come to explore long-standing difficulties or early experiences that still shape how they relate to others and themselves. Others are navigating parenting, grief, anxiety, or identity changes in the present.
I also offer short-term, focused support when the aim is more specific. I run Circle of Security Parenting programs (individually or in groups) to support caregivers in deepening connection with their children and managing challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Referrals are welcome from GPs and other health professionals. I accept Medicare referrals, and work with NDIS (self/plan-managed), WorkCover (including VicPol), TAC, VOCAT, and DVA clients.
