Many people I work with feel overwhelmed, trapped in their thoughts, or frustrated that their body and mind don’t seem to be cooperating, no matter how hard they try. You may seem like you’re coping from the outside but inside your mind can’t switch off. You may also be wondering whether therapy will help, or how to find the right support. It’s a lot, but you don’t have to do it alone. I specialise in supporting adults with anxiety, OCD, & trauma, as well as those navigating chronic pain/health conditions, autoimmune conditions, PMDD, endometriosis, or perinatal/postpartum challenges. Proudly neuro-affirming and LGBTQ+ inclusive.
My approach to therapy is warm, gentle, and collaborative. I aim to create a space where clients feel truly heard and supported. Together, we can focus on developing practical coping skills that actually fit your life, reducing your distress, and making sustainable change so you can improve your wellbeing and move towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
I offer online sessions across Australia, which can be especially helpful if fatigue, pain, caring responsibilities, or location make in-person therapy difficult. Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially when you’re already carrying a lot. If you’re wondering whether I might be the right fit I’d love to hear from you.
