Available both in-person and online
Melbourne, VIC 3000
We work with children, adolescents, and adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and other emotional difficulties. Clients come to us seeking understanding, practical support, and a path forward. Through compassionate, client-centred care and evidence-based interventions, we help people build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and make positive changes that improve their quality of life.
I am trained in CBT, ACT, trauma-informed practice, EMDR, Schema therapy and solution-focused therapy. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
Seeking support can be one of the hardest decisions to make, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can explore what you're going through at your own pace.
