Blaxland, NSW 2774
My approach is rooted in the belief that while life in the Blue Mountains is beautiful, the terrain of our internal lives can often feel steep and demanding. With a focus on holistic, evidence-based care, I work exclusively with adults to navigate the complexities of burnout, anxiety, and the many transitions of modern life. My practice, The Hollows, was born from a desire to provide a grounded sanctuary where perspective is found and the nervous system can finally settle.

As an experiential and creative psychotherapist, I am passionate about working with those who have experienced trauma and relational struggles. Sometimes what we have experienced can be difficult to put into words, utilising the body, movement, music and play can support self expression, building of a coherent narrative and integration of experience. Use of experiential mediums in therapy is known to support healing from trauma experiences as well as support accessing therapy through offering more than words to explore experience. I also provide supervision to mental health professionals working with families.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
