I believe that therapy is a necessity for every individual, regardless of their age, gender, or circumstances. Everybody has a story, and every story needs to be heard by a willing ear, understood with no judgement, shared in a safe environment, and respected. I aim to deliver a positive outcome for individuals, allowing them to further better their lives today, tomorrow and in their futures using a holistic and person-centred approach. I help my patients in building self-awareness, confidence, and understanding and empowering them to regain control of their lives, allowing positive choices, providing a sense of direction.

In the same way that you see a GP for physical illness, a physio for muscular problems, a psychologist can help with mental, emotional and situational problems. You have a safe place to talk about things. You are not alone, and what you face is often faced by others. When you don’t know what else to do, we can help you find safety, and ease the pain - of anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, and career. We can also get to the root cause, to end spiralling, to end the back and forth. We can meet face to face in Norwest or by Zoom. Access to medicare benefits for mental health plans are available.

My ideal clients are adults feeling anxious, overwhelmed, often navigating trauma, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. They may feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, and are seeking clarity, relief, and a deeper understanding of themselves. In my private practice, I support individuals and couples, and I am an approved counsellor with NSW Victims Services and an EAP provider. Together, we build insight, strengthen coping, and reconnect with your inner resilience to support meaningful, sustainable change and a greater sense of balance and wellbeing.

I work with people navigating life transitions, seeking clarity, and wanting to create a life that aligns with their values, goals and sense of direction. This may include career change, relocation, relationship transitions, stepping into new life stages, or periods of uncertainty where you are reconsidering what matters most and what comes next.

Most issues that people experience have their origins in childhood when developmental needs were not met. Most parents mean well and do their best but because our culture is generally ignorant about the early needs of children the child has to learn how to adapt. For example a parent because of their upbringing may be easily angered. One way is for the child to move towards the parent by always trying to please the parent to ward off an angry episode. That is the behavior and the belief is "I have to be good or mummy will not love me." This establishes a mode that may not be helpful in later life in intimate relationships.

When you come to therapy, you are often carrying more than the emotional pain that brought you here. Alongside the difficulty for which you are seeking help, you may also carry the uncertainty of asking for help in the first place and wonder whether you should be coping better on your own. You may feel anxious about revealing yourself to another person and wonder whether you will truly be understood.
Reaching out can be difficult. When you do, I will meet you there. Whatever brings you to therapy, and whatever anxieties accompany that step, they will be welcomed and can become part of our conversation.
