Counselling in Cammeray, NSW

Life can throw up sticky moments which can feel experientially ‘heavy’. Where once we seemed to have managed well enough, where now it feels like something else is needed to meet that moment in a more enduring way. I platform a space that is safe, secure and stable that holds our work together in finding a more enduring way forward. “The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the process is its own reward”. Amelia Earhart

I believe that as human beings our vulnerabilities can often become our greatest strengths. My mission is to walk beside my clients in a heart centred, trauma informed, holistic way while helping them to rediscover their authentic self, find purpose and have meaningful, fulfilling relationships.

I work with adults who are seeking to find meaning, direction and self growth in their lives. They may be going through stressful life events, major milestones in their relationships or health, changes of roles, and other life adversities.

In my role as a clinical psychologist I will listen to you, the expert in your own life, to guide us in your treatment goals. Therapy can be short term and specific, or you may wish to have a safe and contemplative space to explore re- occurring themes in your life. You may need to examine and reset patterns of behaviour so your family/relationships can flourish and enjoy wellbeing, or you may be a performing artist or student struggling with performance anxiety, perfectionism and goal setting.

I am passionate about supporting people to reclaim their lives and relationships from the effects of problems, such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues. I enjoy meeting with a diversity of people, who each bring their hopes and dreams about what is important in life. Many people want assistance to find their next steps.

I have a special interest in working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, imposter syndrome, depression, chronic health issues, grief and loss, life transitions (e.g. career, stage of life, migration), PTSD, OCD, tics and Tourettes. I am passionate about helping individuals live a life worth living based on their values. Some populations I particularly enjoy working with include people of colour, gifted individuals, young women, and creatives. In addition to providing individual therapy, I have a keen interest in cognitive assessments to identify gifted abilities or learning disabilities.

My approach is based on recognition of your uniqueness. Working together we can identify what is important for you, issues you may wish to explore and changes you may want to make.You deserve the opportunity to share your worries, anxieties, your strengths and dreams in a safe and accepting space, and find pathways and hope for the future.

We all want to lead fulfilling lives, regardless of our situation. It's my passion to help you learn strategies to conquer the challenges you face. Sometimes, it takes courage just to get through each day, & this is where the most impressive changes can occur. I want to help you gain a better understanding & awareness of yourself & what you are capable of. By nurturing change within therapy, I hope to help you avoid feeling that life is "just happening to me" & instead feel empowered. Whether it's a mental health issue, life transition, or coping strategies, I am here to support you towards a life of balance, joy & well-being.

To other people you appear to be fine, however, on the inside, it feels like a completely different story. You get caught up in internal battles with your own mind, questioning your decisions, second-guessing yourself, overthinking things, and feeling lost, anxious, depressed. It's exhausting. You want to make changes and you are sick of feeling anxious, it is interfering in your life, your work, your relationships. You want things to be different. I can help you sort through the stories, the experiences that have led to this, and to change your old patterns, thoughts, and beliefs, and create the life that you want to live.

I am a qualified and experienced Social Worker. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients to help them overcome life’s challenges and empowers them by giving them the tools to improve their lives.I believe that life can be difficult and challenging at times and that most people will come across situations and experiences that are overwhelming and test our ability to cope.
