Hi, I’m Gun — an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, trained in Evidence-Based EFT/Tapping, ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), ACT for trauma, anxiety, relationships, ADHD and perfectionism, and a Certified Buteyko Breathing Instructor. I specialise in anxiety, trauma, insomnia, chronic pain/illnesses and other health challenges. Offering psychological interventions tailored to your needs and with a Mental Health Care Plan, 10 Medicare rebate sessions per calendar year.
I draw on a blend of evidence-based psychological therapies and somatic approaches, tailored to your unique needs, goals, and preferences. Whether you’re looking for practical strategies, deeper emotional healing, or body-based support, we’ll work together to create the right path forward for you.
You’ll be supported with a compassionate, non-judgmental, and person-centred approach that is trauma-informed and holistic. I believe everyone holds the capacity to heal—and with the right support, meaningful and lasting change is always possible. Note that a couple session are 2 hours.
