Counselling in Jolimont, WA

Feeling unheard and unseen? Frustrated with the way you (do or don’t) communicate with your partner, colleagues, family? Through counselling you can get the empathy and understanding you're longing for. Discover why you're feeling what you're feeling, AND what your unmet needs are. Reconcile with the parts of you that you resent by learning where your behaviour patterns come from and how they have been trying to protect you. Learn to communicate your feelings and needs assertively and compassionately, that will leave you feeling seen and heard.

I am a warm and experienced psychologist working with adults across the lifespan to address a broad range of issues. I bring deep respect and awareness to how each person's story, needs and circumstances are different. I draw from my decades of experience and professional training across a wide range of therapeutic modalities. My work is guided by a strong systemic approach: seeing all parts of a person, as well as the layers of relationships, family, work, culture and society that have and continue to influence and shape us. My approach ensures that each person I work with receives support tailored specifically for them.
