In Person Counselling in Dee Why, NSW
I now have immediate availability for new clients (both face to face and Telehealth).
I understand what it’s like to feel trapped in the constant noise around food, body image, and self-worth. My own journey with an eating disorder has deeply shaped the way I practice today. I bring not only clinical expertise but genuine empathy, lived understanding, and hope that full recovery is possible.
My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, drawing from schema therapy, emotion-focused work, and body image healing. Most importantly, it’s grounded in the belief that you are not broken, your struggles are a response to unmet needs, and together, we can help you meet those needs in healthier, more empowering ways.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling stuck. They’re exhausted from repeating the same arguments, finding themselves in the same kinds of relationships, or feeling angry, numb, or disconnected—and they don’t know why. Even when they’ve done therapy before or tried to “work on themselves,” something deeper hasn’t shifted. They want real change, but can’t seem to get there on their own. What sets my work apart is that I don’t just focus on managing symptoms. I help you uncover the deeper emotional patterns that are keeping you stuck—patterns often rooted in early experiences of pain, disconnection, or unmet needs.

Change is inevitable so the saying goes. Changes in our relationships are changes we often feel deeply: with our partner; in our family; with our children as they grow; with our parents as they get older; in our workplace; with friends. We can also experience change in ourselves: the place we live; our health; our life goals. Mostly we have the capacity and resilience to thrive through change. But sometimes we experience frustration, hurt, pain, anger, sadness, despair. Sometimes we can feel stuck. It may be working with a counsellor like me will help better understand the experience and rediscover your resilience.

Having difficulties in relationships may look like: people pleasing; avoiding conflict; difficulty setting your boundaries; feeling lonely (often even within relationships); anxiety and overwhelm; becoming consumed by relationships; feeling misunderstood and like you don’t fit in. To soothe your discomfort, you may use unhealthy coping strategies.

The therapy journey can help us understand and address distress in our lives through understanding how the past has stayed alive in our current experience. It is no longer about what happened, it is how it lives on in parts of ourselves.. "Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it" (Brene Brown). I offer a safe therapeutic environment for you to navigate and resolve the concerns and difficulties you face with gentle curiosity and mindfulness, and will support you in building self-compassion, understanding and connection, strength, self-esteem and a sense of empowerment.
