Telehealth Available Australia Wide. In Person Available in Perth Metro WA. There is no such thing as a human that doesn't need support sometimes. If it all feels too much and you're confused or overwhelmed by your emotions, or perhaps you've gone numb long ago, it's ok to be where you're at. The question really is, where do you want to be in the future? What do you want your life to look like, and how can you get there? I am all about helping people build up their own toolkit of coping strategies so that you feel you have options to weather the storms and are in control of your own thoughts and feelings and not at their mercy.
I don't have the answers to your life. You are the expert in your own experience, choices, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I can offer you a listening ear, empathy, respect and will draw on the science to see if there are proven strategies that may be useful in your own life. My aim is to help people feel like they don't need me :-)
If you've tried a psychologist before and it didn't work out, I encourage you to shop around and try again. Finding a psychologist you click with is like trying on a pair of shoes. Just because one pair doesn't fit doesn't mean barefoot is the only option :-) We all work in different ways. I'm good at listening but happy to discuss practical strategies also.

I will adapt to what your presenting issue/s are but for many clients I tend to use a blend of Schema Therapy for understanding how we build blueprints of ourselves in the world, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to explore your self-talk, interpretations and choice of actions and/or Dialectical Behavioural Therapy for its strong focus on self-soothing and distress tolerance as we try new strategies.
