Counselling in South Penrith, NSW

Next Generation Psychology is a psychological service dedicated to helping children and adolescents have the best start in life. We are neurodiverse and understand the importance of self-discovery and individually-tailored supports. We provide a number of evidence-based assessments, comprehensive reports, play-based therapeutic interventions, and school observations and consultations. We work with you and your child to help build on their strengths and reach their full potential. We believe every child and adolescent should get the support they need, and are here to help.

As a wholistic counsellor my goal is to engage you in a meaningful self-exploration process to support healing and personal growth. I specialise in a symbol-work method that's effective in reaching deeper, underlying issues. These issues can manifest as stress, relationship problems, work issues, conflict, insecurity, low self-worth, anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, frustration, confusion, hoarding, addiction. Potential outcomes are heightened self-awareness, unveiling of hidden/unconscious truths, emotional blockages released, increased self-esteem, heightened clarity, reduced confusion, improvement in general wellbeing.

As someone who has personally navigated the complexities of relationships, I understand how tough they can be. I've battled with insecurities, wrestled with anxiety, struggled to communicate my needs, and navigated through the complex world of family life. But through it all, I've grown. Understanding my emotions and working through my issues in a safe space brought me a peace I had never known. This is the same gift I'd like to offer my clients through my professional service and I can't wait to walk with you on your journey!

I wholeheartedly believe that we all possess unique strengths and qualities that can be honed and amplified, empowering us to embrace our individual journey towards meaning and fulfillment. Amidst distress, overwhelming pressures, and internal doubts, it can be challenging to remember these qualities, but my therapeutic approach aligns with this philosophy. I draw extensively upon transformative modalities such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

I am a Counsellor/Psychotherapist, I have lived through a lot of different experiences. Born in Australia and one of 10 children. My marriage was mixed racially and I had 5 children of my own, who are now adults and am now blessed with a grandchild. I am divorced. I sought counselling for my own healing and eventually studied at a mature age. I now have the privilege of helping others through their life challenges, family, parenting, relationship issues, grief, mental health, whatever the struggle is.

We can all have times in our lives when things can seem unmanageable, whether it is within our family or close relationships, divorce or bereavement, or our health, our work or in coming to terms with difficult events that have happened either recently or in the past , which still don’t feel resolved. You are not alone, as human beings we all have difficult times. It is a brave decision to try to resolve those issues in the best way you can. A counsellor is not there to judge you, or to give you text book solutions. They are there to help and guide you towards the solution that is right for you.

Are you struggling with major changes, loss or uncertainty about the future? Maybe you're contending with a child’s worsening behaviour or mental health and you're feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or at a loss. Your family or intimate relationships may be more strained or volatile and you find yourself reacting to or retreating from others more than you'd like. Real Life Counselling provides a supportive space to explore and address your concerns about the realities facing you and your loved ones.

I bring four decades of experience in mental health, art, design. I work with individuals, couples, and family members who seek to change their relationships with themselves and others. I aim to open possibilities to people who have little hope for change, struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms, feeling overwhelmed and lost. This is often accompanied by counterproductive soothing behaviours such as substance use, addiction to gambling, gaming, sex, or screen use. Further, some clients may stay in relationships that deepen their belief that they cannot become the agents of their own lives.

My practice includes EMDR Trauma therapy and regular Counselling & Psychotherapy at my practice in Bondi Junction. I also practice Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I provide flexibility for client's who may need short term support around a particular issue or client's who prefer longer term deeper psychotherapy support. Either F2F, online or telephone. I strive to support clients in living the best life they have imagined. ​Helping them to heal, recognise their strengths, connect to their authentic selves and empowering them to discover their own solutions & become their own self-advocate. I believe in my clients.
