Whether you are experiencing difficulties in your relationship, with your family, or you are dealing with challenges at work or in your life, a therapeutic relationship can help you. I have extensive training in the integrative approach to psychotherapy and more than a decade of expertise in the practice of yoga and bodywork. For this reason, I work with both mind and body awareness and I draw upon different evidence-based models and theories to create a treatment that specifically addresses your unique experiences and concerns.

In order to support you navigating your life's challenges, I use a holistic approach, aiming to understand your personal struggles within the complexity of your life. I believe understanding the root cause of your emotional distress and unhealthy coping mechanisms is important to create lasting change. My work focuses on a trauma informed approach and I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, chronic stress and burnout and issues with self-esteem. I also offer sessions in German.

I offer above all my intentional+ deep listening to your conscious/ unconscious concerns. I specialise in tailoring individually suitable therapies. I wish to assist you to open spaces, that can allow reflection and creation towards new internal+ external potentialities+ futurities, unique only to you. I am a Registered Psychologist and Psychoanalyst (Badiou/Lacan), Phd (abd level) with 50 years of expertise. I can practice in English, German or French. I am available on line, by Skype/Zoom (from anywhere in the world) + in person (at my office), by phone (Australia), for home visits (10km radius) for short and longterm therapies.

My counselling approach is person-centred and strength-based. You are invited to speak openly, without being judged or being told what to do. My counselling creates a sounding board for things you might want to talk about and provides a space to explore what you might like to do differently, achieve, or just understand better.

I am a psychologist and supervisor with a warm, collaborative approach and 8 years of experience working with a range of concerns. I have special interests in working with anxiety & depression, eating & body-image, trauma and family issues, self-esteem, LGBTQIA+ clients, as well as working with women on alcohol use. I work with each person individually to identify meaningful and relevant goals and have a holistic and trauma-informed approach. With children & adolescents I work from a developmental framework incorporating play and collaboration with work with parents. I also provide supervision for other therapists.

I have a masters in Gestalt psychotherapy and work with a range of people and issues, including LGBTQIA+ folk, their families and others whose experiences of marginalisation have affected their mental health. A lifelong wish has been to enable others to explore their own healing journey. Emotional difficulties or life situations can feel overwhelming to deal with alone, and support is needed. I have learnt the value of analytic therapy through my own healing and see my work through a Gestalt lens. We are human, which means we are flawed and unique beings. 'We are all unique pieces of art in the making'.

I enjoy working with adults of all walks of life, and have gathered experience from young adults in high school settings, across the lifespan, even to the end-of-life stage. I work in a trauma-informed, client centered way integrating approaches from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, while also utilising experiential and mindful methods.

I believe that the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives, our identity, and our sense of 'place' in this world. We can impact and transform our lives by exploring how we engage with our life stories - by learning to tell our stories in ways that make us stronger. Narrative Therapy, to me, is a respectful and hope-filled counseling method that connects a client with their agency and stories, empowering them to shape a different future.

You may have come to this site because you feel stuck – because you are not moving in the direction you most want to. You may feel aspects of your life could be better, or you may be dealing with problems that feel overwhelming. These feelings may be related to your work, relationships or health, or they may be about your attitudes and feelings toward yourself. You may not know what is wrong or why you feel the way you do. Whatever the issue, I hope I am able to help.

Are you feeling stuck, like something important is missing from your life, but you can't quite put your finger on it? Do you find it challenging to have your emotional needs met in relationships? Are you trapped in repetitive patterns, struggling to define healthy boundaries? There is a reason behind these struggles, and together, we will uncover what is holding you back, providing you with the clarity and confidence needed to turn things around. I specialize in somatic therapy, an approach that dives deep into the core of unresolved trauma within the body, facilitating rapid healing.

As a clinical psychologist, I believe everyone is different, so I focus on giving each person the treatment that's right for them. I'm fascinated by the positive transformations individuals experience in their lives (when they receive the right support). We'll work together to understand what you need and what you want to achieve through therapy. Being a down-to-earth and compassionate person, I'm here to create a safe and caring space for you.

I'll help you find a way through whatever is bothering you by teaching you a different way of relating to your problems which will be a total relief. The changes you make will be lasting, life-enhancing and uniquely yours. You may have never had therapy, or be like many of the people I work with and have seen lots of other therapists before and nothing has really stuck. It could be a familiar old depression feeling creeping back in, you might be feeling conflicted about what to do about a situation, whatever it is, I can help. As a psychotherapist, I am unfortunately unable to offer Medicare rebates.
