I hold space for clients with grief and loss (people and pets) as well as infertility, divorce/separation, childhood trauma, anxiety, end of life counselling & I am LGBTQIA & NDIS supportive.
Are you feeling like you are unable to move forward? I support clients who have lost a loved one (person or pet), or you have just been through a separation and are wondering - how do I get through this? How do I let go and rebuild? I also support women on their fertility journey. And to see life through different eyes when infertility is a reality. Also people who have been suffering all their life and unsure why - it is often childhood events that have been left unhealed and impact current decisions. I am here to help you move forward through the difficulty and come out the other side stronger and more empowered for the future.

As both a registered Psychologist and a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, I can work with you to help improve both your mental health and your relationships with others. Mental clarity, new communication skills, relief from grief, anger or burnout are all possible if you are willing to start the work! My style is both empathic and challenging. We will work to identify the cause of your suffering, make sense of it and explore new beginnings. Therapy will sift through the best cognitive tools until we find an approach that is a match to you and to the goals you have set. Then its time for the next chapter.

I’m not your everyday therapist. I help people break free from old patterns, reconnect with themselves, and create real change. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy—I blend psychotherapy with somatic and alternative methods to get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck. Whether you’re navigating a relationship breakdown, stuck in old patterns, or searching for a stronger sense of self, this work goes beyond talking—it’s about feeling, shifting, and truly changing. If you’re ready to break free from what’s been holding you back, let’s dive in.

Life can feel overwhelming, and many of my clients come to counselling feeling stuck, anxious, or weighed down by stress, trauma, or relationship struggles. They may be coping day-to-day but want more clarity, peace, and balance in their lives. Some are seeking support to rebuild confidence, heal from painful experiences, or strengthen their relationships. Others simply need a safe space to talk without judgement. Whatever the reason, my clients are looking for understanding, practical support, and real steps toward positive change.

As part of normal life we all have to face challenges from time to time. Over 30 years in private practice, helping people overcome their challenges, has taught me a lot about human resilience and capacity for change. But for most people, knowing how to tackle life’s challenges is not the end goal. Beyond that, they also want their life to feel meaningful!

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.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, confused, emotionally overwhelmed? Does life seem overwhelming, unfair, sad, unfulfilling, directionless, hopeless? Is your relationship in distress or not as fulfilling as you’d like? You’re not alone. I endeavour to understand what is important for you, which means that I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. Using empathy and non-judgement, I listen to understand what life is like for you and to ‘get’ you - what you are thinking and feeling, how the events of life have impacted you, and what you want and need. I create a safe space to be open and real about what you are experiencing.

Divorce Therapists

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?

Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?

There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?

When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
