Many of the people I work with have reached a point where life no longer feels as it once did. They may be living with anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, relationship difficulties or navigating a significant life transition. Others come with a quiet sense that they have become disconnected from themselves and are seeking greater clarity, meaning and direction.
Whatever brings you here, we begin by taking time to understand where you are, what has shaped your journey, and what is calling for your attention. Together we create the conditions that support healing, growth and a way forward that feels authentic and deeply your own.

I have experience working with a broad range of concerns from everyday stressors to mood disturbance, anxiety, grief, substance concerns, neurodivergence, trauma, personality vulnerabilities and other complex mental health disorders. I value fostering a collaborative supportive atmosphere where curiosity can develop in order to understand and mobilise present strengths and values in meeting life. I have an interest in how our early experience and relationships inform who we are, and how we relate to others now.

Some difficulties don't respond to short-course therapy, and it isn't because you didn't try hard enough. I was a GP for ten years before I trained as a psychotherapist, and I work with the problems that don't fit neatly: trauma, symptoms that keep returning with a normal result, depression that has outlasted everything reasonable, relationships that keep taking the same painful shape. I see adults and adolescents, in person in Byron Bay and by video anywhere in Australia.
