Whether you want to learn strategies to regain mental health; regulate intense emotions; navigate life's complexities and relationships; manage stress or simply maintain optimal wellbeing and balance, I take a compassionate, collaborative and client-centred approach in employing evidence based treatment relevant to the uniqueness of the client. Working with adolescents and adults from a predominantly DBT-informed lens, I encourage people to take an active role in devising treatment goals and firmly believe that each individual is the expert on themselves. I strive to consistently embody non-judgment and flexibility in all that I do.
I support clients predominantly through delivery of techniques derived from: Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT); Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) ; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Schema Therapy; and Person-Centred Therapy. My dog, Mozzie also aids in the therapeutic process, providing a safe space for clients to engage and co-regulate.
Everybody deserves to feel content within themselves and their lives. Allow me to guide, encourage and walk beside you as you navigate what this looks like in the individual context of your life. Feel free to reach out to determine whether this may be a good fit for you.
