Sometimes the hardest part isn't knowing that something is wrong; it's understanding why you keep finding yourself in the same place.
You may look like you're coping on the outside while feeling exhausted, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. Maybe anxiety has become your constant companion, relationships keep following familiar patterns, you're carrying the weight of past experiences, or you're navigating a life transition that has left you questioning who you are. Therapy with me isn't about fixing you because I don't believe you're broken. It's about making sense of your experiences, understanding the patterns.

Perhaps your relationship feels stuck. Maybe the same arguments keep happening, communication has become difficult, or life simply feels heavier than it once did. Many of the people I work with are couples feeling disconnected or individuals trying to make sense of stress, relationships, or major life challenges. I also work with anxiety, life transitions and questions about where to go from here. Alongside private practice, I lecture in the Discipline of Counselling at the University of Notre Dame Australia and bring many years of experience in counselling, relationship education and family support.

Are you feeling out of touch with your truest self? Do you feel like you've achieved your goals in career or relationships but somehow still struggle with chronic burnout, relationship patterns that repeat, or a lingering sense of unmet spiritual hunger. Often my clients have done a lot of self-improvement, read the books and tried conventional methods, but these haven't touched the core of the issue. I especially work with people with chronic health issues: unexplained fatigue, autoimmune conditions, weight issues or chronic pain.

Infertility Therapists
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
