Therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. I'm a registered counselling psychologist who leads with acceptance and stays genuinely curious — about you, about people, about what actually helps. I work with people who've often felt like a bit much, not enough, or just different. I'm deeply committed to meeting you where you are — no judgment, no assumptions, just honest, grounded support.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. What I do believe in: genuine connection, honest collaboration, and a space where you can tell me 'that's not quite right' and we adjust. Your feedback shapes how we work — the best work happens when you feel safe enough to be real.
You'll find me in a small, cosy practice in Red Hill — the kind of space that feels a world away from the everyday. If something here resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you. Reach out by phone or email and we'll take it from there.
