28 Davis Street Coburg, VIC 3058

My person-centred psychotherapy practice supports individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, grief, psychedelic experience integration, and issues related to identity and self-esteem. Sessions focus on the client’s lived experience, valuing each person’s perspective and fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and genuine human connection.

In this practice, therapy is collaborative and non-directive. Together we co-create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment in which clients explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal challenges at their own pace. As therapist, my role is to listen deeply, reflect understanding, and express unconditional positive regard.

Through a compassionate, holistic, and client-led process, individuals are empowered to strengthen self-acceptance, enhance emotional resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If this service-offering resonates, I would be honoured to serve you. Please reach out to me by calling, texting or email.
