If you've been to counselling or therapy before, the way I work is probably different from what you're used to. The first 4 sessions are done as a package, which costs $200 (payable up front). During these sessions we'll explore your reproductive story, family-of-origin story, genogram and attachment style - in other words, we'll explore you! Who you are, where you came from, how and why you came to be here. After that, if you choose to continue, we'll begin the work together of how you'd like to move forward. What sort of life do you want to create and why?

Hi, I am really looking forward to getting to know you and working together to achieve your therapy goals. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, recognising that the psychological and physical both impact overall mental well-being and as such my approach to therapy includes elements of each in order to achieve lasting change. I have always believed that no one knows you better than yourself and while I will guide you along your journey, applying learned skills and maintaining changes at home is up to you. I recognise the importance of a client centred approach where we work together toward change and symptom management.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, tired, hopeless or lacking joy; like your emotions are uncontrollable or that they do not match with reality; that your worry is getting out of hand or that there is no longer any point, then it might be a good time to seek some support. We are social creatures, and despite what our modern society might have us believe, we all need human connection to function. Seeking support is a huge sign of strength – the strength to actually reach out and let someone in, in order to start the healing process. If you can relate to this or if you have set yourself a personal development goal please reach out.
