You may be frustrated, confused or concerned that all your efforts to keep things working well have begun to slip and wondering if reaching out for professional help may offer you the support and understanding that you need. With 20 years experience I work mainly with women feeling overwhelmed parenting children, coping with stressful relationships at home and work, caring for elderly parents and facing perinatal, perimenopause and ageing stages in their lives. I offer you careful listening and the benefits of my wide and trustworthy therapeutic experience working with clients from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds
I hold dear the importance of the therapeutic relationship as being the essence of good therapy, no matter which therapy model, tools and techniques are utilised. To that end I meet and model the values of respect, non judgement, openness and genuine interactive communication where my life values of kindness, compassion and mindfulness can flourish
I would value an opportunity to meet with you for a free 15 minute telephone call to understand more fully what is bringing you to therapy. You can ask any questions and if you choose make an appointment. I am a Medicare health provider with rebates available if you have a referral for a Mental Health Care GP plan

I employ evidence based therapies ( CBT, ACT, DBT etc) and check whether the client would like information regarding their efficacy and suitability for their issue.I try to match a therapy to the client's preferred style of working with thoughts feelings and sensations If the client is willing I like to offer mindfulness and awareness practices to support the therapy process
