Counselling in Brookvale, NSW

Are childhood or past adult experiences continuing to impact your life now? Adverse childhood experiences or difficult adult events can leave us experiencing panic, anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, addictions, relationship challenges or sleep issues. Your brain and body need support to tolerate difficult emotions, heal your nervous system, and file past events into the past. Talk therapy alone can not do this. Brainspotting Therapy, Integral Somatic Psychology, Mindfulness and ACT include your brain and body. These therapies are integrated into the work we do together.

I am passionate about supporting clients in their healing process through assisting them in learning more about themselves and developing new ways of coping with present and past challenges. I am a warm, supportive, caring, and compassionate psychologist and I believe each client is unique and therefore requires a tailored treatment strategy to achieve their therapy goals.

Do you often feel like you are surviving instead of thriving? If you feel stuck in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or if you battle with addiction, you are not alone; and there is something you can do to start feeling better. Integrative therapy can help you get unstuck and heal painful dynamics within yourself and your relationships.

I'm a psychological therapist who gets to the heart of problems in both short term and long term therapy, for both self referred, or with a GP referral (Medicare rebates available). I bring a wealth of clinical counselling experience (20 years), my compassion, sensitivity, sharp perception, tools and strategies; embedded in calm groundedness. I attune to my clients' needs, bringing the most effective and expert approach to facilitate healing, resolution and rewarding change.

This is a private online therapy (Telehealth) for adults needing a safe space to talk. If you are suffering with depression, stress, anxiety, loneliness, bereavement, trauma, relationship issues and more, I would like to help you find your strengths and rediscover who you are, and to assist you to navigate your negative experiences and emotions. Together we will make this journey less stressful.

We can all get stuck with personal challenges and sometimes we need to deal with significant difficulties that cause us genuine concern. This can impact the way we feel and function in our personal and professional lives. That’s where I can help. I am a warm and empathetic psychologist with extensive counselling skills and clinical experience. I focus on establishing strong therapeutic relationships with my clients, enabling genuine conversations about your individual needs and challenges to take place. I combine evidenced-based treatments with a supportive and encouraging approach to improve your mental health and wellbeing.

Even though life looks good on the surface, my clients often have a sense of unease, feel like something is wrong with them and can't understand why the same patterns and symptoms keep showing up in life. They feel stuck wondering if this is 'just their lot' in life, and that circumstances are controlling them. They may have kids that are getting older and a little more independent which also has them questioning 'is this all life has to offer?' They want to feel stronger, to feel empowered and make great life decisions, but low self esteem and every day demands of life have left little time to explore this.

I am warm, open and experienced Doctor of clinical psychology who works with all sorts of issues, big and small, from life adjustment issues to mental health difficulties. My focus is on mental health wellness. I work with proven psychology treatments for mood and relationship issues for all ages, including couples.  I aim to treat each client as an individual with their own unique biology, personal history, strengths and areas for change, utilising a collaborative approach to provide your own program of evidence based intervention. 

I cultivate change when invited to examine your mounting challenges, & accompany you along your journey, as required. I tend to your needs & resources as you transition, while we face issues together, & grow your capacity to journey beyond me. This may involve an exploration of the past, or practical focus on here & now strategies & approaches, which influence the map of your life journey you are carving. You guide me with expertise of your needs, wants & experiences, to plan a route forward, drawing on a variety of evidence-based methods I offer.

Qualified Art Therapist and Counsellor helping people use their natural creativity for wellbeing and mental health, mobile service available.

Many of my clients describe a sense of disconnection - from their partners, from themselves, and from the world around them. This is sometimes expressed through anxiety or depression, or addiction, or a breakdown in a relationship. By working with me you can find the sense of peace and calm that we all strive for.

As a therapist I aim to help clients learn how to honour and understand their resistance and difficulty with life challenges as an outdated coping mechanism which originally was formed to serve as a self-preservation and adaptive function. In facilitating a pathway for change by walking alongside my client creating a safe and supportive environment towards self-awareness and the discovery that you are the expert in your life. My practice is trauma informed with a humanistic person centred approach. I will meet you with compassion , curiosity and connection, working towards your future goals, innate healing, health and happiness.

As a nurse practitioner as well as a psychotherapist, I can prescribe psychotropic medication if needed. I can provide medicare rebates for every session because I am also a nurse practitioner.
