Are you feeling hurt, stuck, misunderstood, or in emotional pain? Are you really having the relationships you would like with your partner, children, extended family, or co-workers? Are you really having the relationship you would like with yourself? You may be experiencing emotional swings, perhaps using food, anger, work, alcohol, shopping, etc., as ways to manage your pain. Perhaps you have lost someone, or perhaps you have been deeply hurt by someone you love....You want things to be different in your life, but don't know how to get there....tell me about it, and we'll work together to make a change (Medicare rebates available)
I am experienced in treating all manner of difficulties (with a special interest in anxiety, relationship counselling, OCD and Borderline Personality Disorder), but what is really important is finding out what is getting in the way of you living the life YOU want to lead (even if you're not sure what that is yet). Let's work on that together...
I am a warm, compassionate and empathetic therapist, who believes that being truly heard and acknowledged is critical to the therapeutic process. While I have three degrees in Psychology, and knowledge and experience of multiple therapies, strategies and techniques, I believe that that validation of your lived experience is where healing starts.
