One of my greatest passions is helping people live better lives. Achieving my clients' counselling goals is my ultimate reward. Understanding my client's needs and aims of counselling is essential for the best treatment. Clients need confidentiality to express their problems freely and find effective support and therapy for their psychological concerns. Clients' goals may change from session to session, therefore, supporting the clients through the counselling journey and tailoring the best treatment to their needs is crucial.

The one constant we all share, regardless of our gender, wealth, race, location or religious beliefs is that we will spend our life in our body. This will also be one of the most confronting, challenging and potentially beautiful relationships we'll ever experience. Can we fully embrace our body? Can we come to terms with the social and cultural factors surrounding our body and, when the time comes to leave our body, will we do so with love and gratitude for how it helped us to connect with ourselves and others? Let's explore those questions together.

I hold postgraduate training in Psychology and Law from Harvard University, the University of Oxford, and Monash University; and specialist clinical training in Gestalt psychotherapy from the Relational Institute Australia. My approach integrates influences from Gestalt, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Circling, and vipassana meditation. I focus primarily on the cultivation of present moment awareness. Over time, awareness reinstates the body-mind's remarkable innate capacity to release energetic and physical blockages, stagnation and armouring. It then begins to return to its natural state of ease and wholeness.
