Counselling in Manly, NSW

I cultivate change when invited to examine your mounting challenges, & accompany you along your journey, as required. I tend to your needs & resources as you transition, while we face issues together, & grow your capacity to journey beyond me. This may involve an exploration of the past, or practical focus on here & now strategies & approaches, which influence the map of your life journey you are carving. You guide me with expertise of your needs, wants & experiences, to plan a route forward, drawing on a variety of evidence-based methods I offer.

To take a journey of recovery is a path that is never ending; you will never know all there is to know or see and discover all there is out there. You will find yourself , years down that path still discovering new things, getting excited and inspired by the most ordinary of things, and you're not alone on your journey. Starting today for better tomorrow... how do we know that we become fearless if we never knew fears ...

I work with divorcees who are struggling with the challenges of life as a single person facing the adjustments that come with their new circumstances.

The grief that is experienced during this time can be extreme, and the difficulty in managing the grief whilst maintaining the practicalities is something which for many people need guidance

Are you suffering a mental health condition and need support? Are you experiencing interpersonal conflict at work ? Perhaps you are going through a relationship break up or divorce or struggling with family dynamics. Are you struggling in dealing with your child's emotional outburst or challenging behaviours or simply need a child assessment to identify learning difficulties/ADHD/ASD symptoms? You may simply be feeling a little lost with little direction and clarity. If this is you, then make a change today and reach out and speak to one of our clinicians ( Psychologists, Behaviour Therapists, Speech Pathologist, Learning Support)

I value you just as you are and I believe in your potential.

I’m a Psychotherapist and Counsellor based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. My work is largely informed by my psychotherapeutic training in contemporary Gestalt therapy as well as my person-centred counselling training and an interest in somatic work and existential therapy. I am trained and experienced in supporting clients impacted by trauma.

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.

Are childhood or past adult experiences continuing to impact your life now? Adverse childhood experiences or difficult adult events can leave us experiencing panic, anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, addictions, relationship challenges or sleep issues. Your brain and body need support to tolerate difficult emotions, heal your nervous system, and file past events into the past. Talk therapy alone can not do this. Brainspotting Therapy, Integral Somatic Psychology, Mindfulness and ACT include your brain and body. These therapies are integrated into the work we do together.

I work with a person-centred approach, within it I pull from my years of experience in all areas of mental health. The therapeutic strategies and interventions I predominantly work with are the behaviour focused therapies of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Above all I hold the up most importance in developing a good therapeutic relationship between client and therapist, within it a emotional bond of trust, caring and respect is created, which allows for a safe space where healing can take place.

In my role as Counsellor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I aim to help people find safety and connection in their bodies, their relationships and in the environment in which they live. My deep understanding of the nervous system along with a non judgemental, empathic and caring presence, helps my clients to settle into their own therapeutic exploration of self.
