My ideal clients are adults feeling anxious, overwhelmed, often navigating trauma, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. They may feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, and are seeking clarity, relief, and a deeper understanding of themselves. In my private practice, I support individuals and couples, and I am an approved counsellor with NSW Victims Services and an EAP provider. Together, we build insight, strengthen coping, and reconnect with your inner resilience to support meaningful, sustainable change and a greater sense of balance and wellbeing.

People often come to counselling at a point where something no longer fits — a relationship dynamic, a life transition, a loss of direction, or the growing sense that they’ve been carrying too much for too long. I work with people who want to better understand themselves, untangle emotional patterns, strengthen their relationships, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that have been overlooked, suppressed or stretched thin. While I know this probably sounds like a lot of other therapists—and on paper, it is! But therapy is deeply relational, so finding the right fit matters. If you think that's me, reach out for a chat :)

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
