I am a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist based in Canberra who specialises in trauma and addiction. I have extensive experience in the not-for-profit and private sectors, supporting adults with mental health and psychosocial conditions, such as PTSD, CPTSD, substance use disorders, personality disorders, anxiety and depression. I’m an accredited EMDR practitioner, a registered clinical counsellor with PACFA and a qualified Social Worker and member of the AASW. I provide online psychotherapy sessions to adults (+18) across Australia and in-person sessions to individuals based in Canberra (office based in Turner, ACT).
I have received formal training in EMDR, CBT, Schema Therapy, ACT and Motivational Interviewing, and am a qualified Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) practitioner. I also worked as an Allen Carr’s Easyway therapist for several years (supporting individuals struggling with alcohol addiction) and have an in-depth understanding of that approach.
I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental space for clients to explore their issues (at their own pace) and understand that trauma therapy can be a daunting and confronting process. As an experienced AOD practitioner, I also appreciate the importance of confidentiality and discretion when addressing substance use and mental health issues.
