Stress Counselling in Crows Nest, NSW

Are you chronically anxious or stressed, or coping with the impact of trauma? Are you unable to achieve what’s important to you in your work and relationships? You may have been trying to cope alone and just feel stuck. Healing takes place in relationship and it is never too late to work on what is holding you back from living an optimal life. A therapeutic relationship is without judgement, and with acceptance, and this is how to safely make progress toward meaningful and lasting change.

It is actually possible. If you are trying to navigate through these issues I can help you by using a range of evidence-based psychological strategies to start to let it all go.

Are you struggling with conflict and feeling distant from your partner? Are you constantly worried about life and what happens next? Or is it more about what happened today or yesterday? Are you overcome by a significant loss in your life? A job, your health, a friend, a partner, a house, a family member? Or is life just so “blahhh” that it is a struggle to get through the day? All these situations and many others are a result of your most intimate and important relationship – the one you have with yourself!

No two people are the same, no two stories identical. Perhaps you are already clear about what you want from therapy, perhaps our starting point is to figure this out. No matter what, all of you is welcome. Together, we aim to: heal old emotional wounds you might still be hurting from, clear up current anxiety, stress confusion or disheartenment that weigh on you; make good decisions for your life and find inner joy, calm and balance to sustain you in a meaningful way of being. When working with couples, I support partners to repair relational injuries, strengthen communication, commitment and trust and deepen love and intimacy.

In life, we all face challenges within ourselves and with others. To many of us, seeking someone to share emotional and relationship difficulties does not come easily.

The Psychologist at the practice will work collaboratively with you in a respectful, caring and accepting manner to help reach your goals.

We're passionate about psychology, and it is our mission to help people reconnect with their values, achieve their goals, unlock their potential, and live more rich, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.

“Sometimes the bravest most important thing you can do is just show up” Brene Brown. I firmly believe it is healthy to connect and explore life’s challenges to make sense of what makes us ‘tick’ - and what doesn't, and how we might get stuck in fixed patterns of behaviour. I work with clients to develop awareness, to enhance the quality of relationship - to self, to others, and our environment.
