My name is Kodi, and I proudly identify as a queer woman, which not only informs my professional endeavours but also fuels my commitment to fostering healing and empowerment within the queer community.My journey into the realm of psychology was deeply influenced by my own lived experiences as a person who is a QBIPOC.

I work with adults and young people from age 14 and up to help them overcome challenges, reduce anxiety, depression and stress, and achieve greater understanding, contentment and meaning. I provide a strengths-based approach which is open-minded, compassionate and authentic, leading to the development of alternative perspectives and relief from psychological distress. I work with people who may be struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, challenging circumstances, adjustment to change, relationship issues, work or career issues with self-confidence or self-esteem, or deeper existential issues.

The most common things my clients say to me is you seem like you really care. Therapy sessions are about you and what you need, so I tailor my sessions to what works best for you. It is important that you feel heard and I make sure I truly listen to what is going on for my clients.

Often children don’t have words to describe their experiences and feelings and instead reveal them through behaviours which can be misunderstood. They may get into trouble, be labelled, or disconnect. I work with children and families just like this. As a carer, reaching out for support can be the hardest step. I work closely with you and your child through Play Therapy which is relationship based therapy for children aged 3-12 years. Play is a child’s natural way of communicating and Play Therapy creates the environment where the therapist enters into a child’s world and understands the experience from their perspective.

Everyone can live a more fulfilling life, although thoughts and feelings make it easy to get stuck. I believe therapy offers space to take a step back and do our best thinking about 'whats working well?' and 'whats not working well?', when it comes to thoughts, feelings, and relationships. I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations such as: anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, and low motivation.

Like a flower, we bloom in the right environment; in the play therapy room I work with empathy and acceptance to create a safe space for children and families in order for them to work through their issues and “grow”. I recognise the importance of family and offer assistance to parents and carers to work towards a safer, happier and more relaxed home environment in a strength-based way.
