Personality Disorders Counselling in Elizabeth Bay, NSW

I am a compassionate, non-judgemental and validating clinician who strives to facilitate a therapy environment where my clients can feel relaxed, understood and leave each session with new insights or skills to face life’s challenges, no matter what it might be! I believe that there is no one size fits all approach to therapy. My therapeutic approach puts my clients at the centre of their therapy journey, collaboratively working towards their own unique goals or values and tailoring a treatment modality that works for them.

NOW accepting NEW clients & HAVE availability! “I offer trauma informed therapy in a safe and non- judgemental space, so you can work through whatever difficulties you are experiencing, live more mindfully and embrace your inner strengths & resources.” My style is warm and empathic, though I can challenge respectfully when needed. I regard the therapeutic relationship as team work and appreciate that it takes significant courage to reach for counselling.

Seeking support takes a tremendous amount of courage and is an important first step in addressing issues that cause distress or unhappiness. I believe that creating a safe, welcoming and accepting space is essential in helping clients make contact with difficult experiences, and in developing a richer understanding of themselves and their emotions. With 20 years of experience working in community and inpatient mental health services, I use a psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach which is client-led and tailored to individual needs. I have capacity to see people short-term or long-term.

Brave souls, we live our lives to the best of our abilities; we aim to achieve our dreams with what life has to offer us. However, due to various reasons, and often beyond our control, we might hide from ourselves ... in ourselves, or in other people. Depression, anxiety, personality disorders, dissociative features, psychotic experiences ... We fall, we rise. We laugh, we love, we feel anger and pain. In a conversation with another we could find our way out of this state of being lost in these states. Recovery from trauma perhaps is not about forgetting the past; perhaps it's about expanding your Self, your narrative.
