I specialise in supporting individual adults over 25, both online and in person in Melbourne, with Complex PTSD/Relational Trauma, ADHD, Autism but am not limited to these issues. Having someone non judgmental truly listen and understand your experience can be a huge relief. However, the way I work involves more than just talking and symptom management, I use body-based and nervous system based approaches based on neuroscience that have been shown to create transformational shifts and lasting change.
I work in collaboration with you to tailor therapy based on your goals. With the security of our therapeutic relationship at the foundation, I use an integrative, trauma-informed body-based approach. This includes the Internal Family Systems model, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Focusing, AEDP and Memory Re-consolidation.
You may be wondering if you can do this by yourself, but we are designed to heal with others. Sometimes we would like to reach out to friends or family but feel unable to do so, this is completely normal. I welcome you to try therapy with me and find a judgement-free zone, where you can accept all parts of you and allow your authentic self to thrive.

Therapy with me is not a one size fits all. You are the expert on yourself and I am here to facilitate your change and empowerment by being a guide and creating a safe space.

I am a trauma-informed, body-based talk therapist with a focus on working with emotions, nervous system regulation and parts work. I love helping my clients get to know different parts of themselves, both the light and the dark, and helping them realise that we all have these different selves that can change from moment to moment and that's completely normal. When we accept this, we can heal.
