Life can change in ways that leave you feeling unsettled, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are becoming. You may be navigating changing relationships, unmet expectations, shifting identities, migration, faith transitions, betrayal, or realising that life has not unfolded the way you hoped. I support women navigating accumulated grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also work with ministry leaders, pastors, chaplains, and those in caring roles who may be carrying the emotional and spiritual weight of supporting others while neglecting their own wellbeing.

Psychotherapist, PhD
West End, QLD 4101
If you need help unpacking what the hell is going on. If you know you nearly have it worked out but for these things that keep getting in the way. If you think you are OK but it is all those pesky family, work mates, or colleagues who drive you nuts. If you have had more diagnoses than help, more good ideas flung your way than anything concrete, then perhaps you could pay me a visit. I pride myself in having no long-term clients because I do what I say, and I do not turn you into a professional therapy clients or perpetual victim of life. I get curious in why you have come, what you want for yourself, what success might look like.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
