NDIS Psychologists and Therapists in Coffs Harbour, NSW
Funding options include NSW Victim Services, NDIS (plan- or self-managed) and private health funds.
I specialise in assisting individuals who have experienced trauma from shocking/terrifying events, or developmental/ relational/ complex trauma, and are struggling with symptoms such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, overwhelming feelings of anger/ sadness/ anxiety/ shame, numbness, low self-worth, relationship/ boundary/ trust issues, powerlessness, and disconnection from self/others. Using a holistic approach that honours the mind-body connection, I'm dedicated to supporting clients to transform chronic stuck patterns into deeper experiences of wellbeing, self-empowerment, freedom and joy.

I accept private pay, government funding (Victim Services, WorkCover, NDIS) and most private health funds.
I provide a reflective and confidential space where you can explore not only the difficulties you are facing now, but the underlying patterns that shape your relationships, emotions and sense of self. Our work is not focused on short-term strategies, but on developing insight into longstanding ways of thinking, feeling and relating that may have formed early in life and continue to influence you today.

Have you tried therapy before and found that some things still won't shift? I bring a relational and embodied approach to working with complex trauma, dissociation, and longstanding patterns held in the body. I use EMDR and somatic approaches, alongside a relational, weight-inclusive approach to eating and body image concerns.

I work to uncover and transform the issues which underlie the anxiety or depression rather than just treat the symptoms. These are usually wounds from childhood which we were unable to deal with as they occurred. I also work with trauma, initially to stabilise and build trust, moving onto trauma processing. I am inspired and intrigued by my clients creativity and spontaneity and always try to connect with where they're at, seeing the person as part of a whole system. I believe that healing comes from the client, I am just a facilitator.

WorkCover and NDIS (self- and plan-managed) are invoiced.
I work with adults who feel stuck, particularly where previous therapy has helped but not fully resolved things. This often includes trauma, anxiety, or workplace stress that continues to resurface in similar ways. The focus is on changing the underlying pattern, not just how you react to it. My approach is structured and collaborative, focused on processing experiences while maintaining stability. We work at a pace that feels manageable, adapting within the session to what works best for you, with you remaining grounded and in control throughout.

My experience so far has been with youth & adults, often neurodivergent or living with complex mental health challenges, seeking self-understanding. They struggle with intense emotions, self-criticism, and complex relationships, often stemming from trauma or deep-seated fears of isolation. They need a safe, affirming, and trauma-informed space to explore these issues, learn emotional regulation, and set healthy boundaries. Their goal is to build self-worth, find authentic connection, increase independence, and ultimately live a more peaceful, confident, and self-directed life.

Life can be hard sometimes and, even if you think you're more neuro-typical, we are all masking to some degree. Finding a place where we can gradually unmask and be real with what is happening for us might be a little challenging to start but ultimately it's a huge relief! Having a place where you don't have to say anything, but you can say anything, seems to be the most important factor in getting along in the world and feeling less alone. I enjoy being one of those people for people... it's my jam! ...because it's real, I know we all suffer at times, and I feel privileged to sit in that space with a person.
