Counselling in Sydney, NSW

I have been in practice for 20 years working with adult clients. I offer supportive counselling, trauma therapy or long term work with those seeking to gain a better understanding of their internal states. The majority of people I see present with varying levels of anxiety, depression or personality issues. I am happy to see anyone who is actively interested in seeking help and am available for face-face and/or online work. I have a sliding scale of fees and I am willing to meet the individual at what they can afford especially since my fees are unsupported by medicare.

*Please use email for any inquiries, including booking an appointment*. While I am passionate about helping my clients with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks and low self esteem, I also have a special interest in treating difficulties related to recent and past trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, recurring nightmares, dissociation, adult survivors of childhood neglect and abuse, long term unhelpful patterns of relationship and/or behaviour.

If we are left alone with our problems, we can get into a downward spiral. Sharing your concerns with me or with another professional will help you to assess and address them. You can go further in life by unloading some of the emotional weight you have been carrying for so long. Let me help you improve your life.

All of us go through a range of emotions, thoughts, doubts, and hopes in life. In the complex and transient layers of people and events, we often find ourselves in a difficult situation where nothing much we do seems to help. Please remember you are not alone and that you are not your problem nor diagnosis.

Feeling sad, worried, anxious, low in self-confidence, overwhelmed, angry or conflicted is all part of being human. But sometimes we need extra help and support to cope, or to figure out what to do. When those times come, we look for a professional who cares and whose therapy approach is guided by our goals. We may want supportive counselling, or to develop strategies to manage a specific problem or situation. We may want help to decide on, get ready for, cope with, or start, a process of change. On the other hand, we may want to explore starting therapy for a complex issue or seek help for a long-standing problem.

Therapy is a very personal experience so it’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist and believe they’re a good fit for you. People will decide to see a psychologist for a range of different reasons... Often they’re experiencing some kind of stress, relationship difficulties, trauma or addiction… or sometimes they feel they just need someone to talk to. We start by talking about what brings you to the session. You may have clearly defined goals of what you’d like to achieve or, perhaps you’re not sure and you’re just trying to get a better understanding of yourself and your life experiences. Therapy is also about encouraging you to consider different ways of thinking, trying new strategies and learning new skills. It's ok if you feel that you’re stepping outside of your comfort zone. It’s not always easy to be in therapy, it takes a lot of courage to start, and to continue the process.

We can all have times in our lives when things can seem unmanageable, whether it is within our family or close relationships, divorce or bereavement, or our health, our work or in coming to terms with difficult events that have happened either recently or in the past , which still don’t feel resolved. You are not alone, as human beings we all have difficult times. It is a brave decision to try to resolve those issues in the best way you can. A counsellor is not there to judge you, or to give you text book solutions. They are there to help and guide you towards the solution that is right for you.

I have a diverse skillset developed as both a Clinical Psychologist and as a senior executive in a variety of companies over the last 22 years. My corporate experience gave me a unique insight into the realities of professional life and made me very passionate about looking after the mental health and wellbeing of working professionals. By blending powerful evidence-based Psychological therapies with practical Executive Coaching tools, I aim to empower my clients with both the emotional coping resources and the practical skills to thrive in spite of the varied challenges they face at work and at home.

Life throws us curve balls and we all need to find ways to adjust and cope with these in a healthy and flexible way. Whether you are going through significant life changes or whether you are seeking change, I endeavour to work with everyone with compassion and empathy. I am passionate to help you find a healthier way of relating to yourself and others.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in kindness, compassion and empathy. I cultivate a non-judgement space to be heard and seen, whilst encouraging personal growth.

I work to help people create better relationships with themselves, and better relationships with other people. I help my clients to understand and learn to regulate what is happening in their bodies, dealing with anxiety, stress, depression and trauma in practical, tangible and simple ways. I aim to help people become less self-critical, frustrated and stressed and create a more meaningful life.

Can you relate to either of these statements? “I’m so over hurtful relationships. I’m starting to think I’ll be single forever” "We can’t keep fighting like this. If something doesn’t change we’re headed for a breakup” If you can relate to the pain of struggling in a relationship, you’re not alone. If you’re an individual in relationship pain, I can help you overcome your past relationship hurts, understand your blocks to intimacy, and help you create a successful long-term relationship. If you’re a couple, I can help you resolve long-standing issues and rebuild the loving, intimate and harmonious relationship you once had.

I believe we are all doing the best we can with what we've got, but sometimes we don't have the right skills or viewpoint from which to understand and resolve the issues that cause us to suffer. Our old coping strategies fail and we become stressed, depressed, anxious, isolated, angry, fed up, stuck, lost or hopeless. And there's a voice in us that says we've got to figure it out for ourselves, we mustn't burden others or others won't understand us. I'll listen deeply and work beside you to find your own answers, in a confidential, non judgemental, safe space. We all need to be seen and understood and to understand ourselves.
