Attachment-based Psychologists and Therapists in Wollongong, NSW
I love to work with adults who feel stuck despite trying therapy or life hacks, especially people who’ve been late‑diagnosed as neurodivergent or who carry long-standing effects of trauma. They come because patterns in relationships, work, or emotion keep repeating and no changes seem to last.
I offer focused, depth‑oriented therapy that helps you understand those patterns, connect present problems to their origins, and make meaningful change that actually lasts.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to break? Perhaps relationships feel hard, burnout has crept in, or you're going through a major life change and don't quite recognise yourself anymore. Maybe you've tried therapy before, and it didn't quite click. Reaching out is often the hardest part; everything after that, we figure out together. I work with adults across a wide range of concerns — online and in-person — and am Medicare and SIRA registered, welcoming WorkCover and DVA clients.

You're a mum who’s overwhelmed, burnt out, and wondering where you went in all of this. You’re carrying the mental load, trying to do everything “right,” but still feel resentful, anxious, or low. You want to feel more like yourself again - calm, connected, and understood.
Or maybe you’re a couple stuck in the same arguments - disconnected, resentful, unsure how to fix it. You both want to feel heard again, to stop fighting over chores, and to rebuild a sense of closeness and teamwork without blame.

Welcome to You are Here Therapy.
Some people call it trauma. Others call it a difficult experience or a painful chapter they can't seem to move past. Whatever you call it, its effects can linger, shaping how you see yourself, relate to others, and navigate life.
Sometimes it's a current stressor that feels overwhelming. Sometimes it's the past showing up in the present. I support adults of all backgrounds and genders, with a particular affinity for working with gay men.
Together, we'll make sense of your story, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Your past may shape your story, but it doesn't have to write your future.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. On the outside they’re capable and high‑functioning. On the inside they’re using sex, porn, dating, love, work, gambling, gaming, control, or emotional distance to cope with stress, shame, loneliness, or relationship pain.
These behavioural or “process” addictions bring short‑term relief but often create more secrecy, disconnection, and repeated relationship struggles. Together we explore the childhood wounds that sit underneath these patterns and begin to build healthier ways of coping and relating.

Free yourself from unprocessed emotion and painful memories. I work with people who are looking to free themselves from unhealed trauma and unhealthy relational patterning. If you are seeking support with the intention of breaking long held patterns and beliefs, then I would love to work with you.
I use altered states of consciousness to move blocked energy- breathwork, transcendental meditation, EMDR and dream rescripting are a few of the techniques available to process life experiences and move forward with purpose, presence and peace.
