Australia Wide online therapy for young people, adults, couples and families who are surviving the impact of trauma provided by a Clinical Supervisor and Psychotherapist with over 22 years experience. Online therapy allows you to create your own safe space to explore your experience of anxiety and depression caused by an acute, chronic or complex trauma, grief and loss. We work together to explore and develop your own solutions so you heal and thrive. Explore the difference that Psychotherapy can offer by contacting me today. Mental Health Care Plan or Drs referral is not required.
You are the expert of your world and my role is walk alongside with empathy and curiosity, offering insight and perhaps a new perspective. Using a strength based, person centred approach you will be supported to explore your experience of yourself and develop new ways of being in this world.
If you have talked about your experience of trauma and felt heard but have seen little impact on the resulting anxiety, perhaps it is time to try a different approach. One that feels warm, engaging and empowering. I am here to walk alongside you to explore how to be with yourself and in the world with confidence.
