Parenting Psychologists and Therapists in Buderim, QLD
The shock of a frightening medical diagnosis, significant loss, or other traumatic event in our lives can severely overwhelm our nervous system leaving us feeling fearful, anxious, panicky, unable to relax or sleep, emotional and very reactive to everyone around us. It is an awful place to find ourselves in and as humans we often try to avoid or distract ourselves from these unpleasant thoughts, feelings and emotions as best we can in an attempt to cope. Some of the behaviours we may use to bring short term relief, may be harmful to us in the long term, impact on our relationships, lead to depression or reduce our quality of life.

You are so much more than a symptom, a struggle, or a diagnosis. People come to therapy for different reasons—often to work through challenges, and also in search of something more: greater self-understanding, connection or meaning. I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore both life’s challenges and opportunities for growth. I'm guided by a holistic understanding that our inner and outer worlds are deeply interconnected through mind, body, emotion, relationship, health, environment and spirit. I am passionate about these connections, particularly in the areas of complex trauma, chronic health conditions and ancestral patterns

You've spent years being told you were too much, or not enough. Too scattered, too emotional, too forgetful- or holding everything together on the outside while quietly drowning inside.
ADHD in women looks nothing like the textbook version. It hides behind perfectionism and people-pleasing. It shows up as overwhelm, emotional dysregulation, and a bone-deep exhaustion no amount of sleep fixes. And for too long, it's been missed- in classrooms, GP offices, and therapy rooms.

Men struggle to open up about whats troubling them. How do I know? Because I bottled my own troubles up for 30 years! Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, anxiety and burnout are all challenges I've worked through since I was 8 years old. I've learned through my own journey, that bottling things up doesn't help; and through Mindful Men, I aim to inspire men to open up, get the help they need, and live a life full of hope, purpose and joy.

Emotional struggles often signal that something in your life needs attention. Anxiety, mood fluctuations, addictions, and relationship struggles can leave you feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. Unprocessed challenging experiences, such as trauma, narcissistic abuse, domestic/family violence and addictions can shape how you see yourself and the world, making it hard to break free from harmful patterns.

We can all be challenged from time to time regulating our emotional state. It can be a struggle to articulate whats going on for us and thats where it help's to talk and explore whats going on. Sometimes however, it is difficult to open up to family and friends, particularly when you are experiencing anxiety, depression, personal or work related stress or family/relationship concerns. As a Clinical and International Psychotherapist, I offer relief by providing emotional support, psycho-education and the ability to truly hear and challenge what is going on for you via flexible appointments, both in Person, Telehealth or Telephone.

And what I've noticed is how many people struggle with their relationships - that could be the relationship with their partner, their child, their parents, their co-workers, their mates or the biggest and most important relationship of them all...

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
