Some things I work with include (but are not limited to): The neurodivergent experience; Sexuality, gender, and other queer issues; Bereavement, grief and other types of loss; Chronic health issues and disability; Trauma and complex trauma; DFV and other forms of abuse or violence; Relationship issues, including polyamory, sex and kink; Anxiety, depression, and suicidality.
As a social worker and psychotherapist, what matters most to me is creating a space where you feel truly seen, safe, and respected. I want our time together to feel like somewhere you can show up exactly as you are (no masks, no pressure), and know that it’s more than enough. I really believe that the connection between therapist and client is at the heart of any meaningful growth, which is why I bring a warm, down-to-earth, and often humorous and playful energy into my sessions.

It’s important to find a therapist who feels like a good fit. You may get a lot out of our work if you struggle with assertiveness or establishing your own needs in relationships. You may be deeply attuned to others, overwhelmed and resentful, and stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You may struggle with shame, boundaries, or building relationships that feel safe and reciprocal. If you’ve tried traditional talk therapy but felt that something was missing, somatic therapy might help you work through things in a more integrated way. If you want not only coping skills but genuine growth and change, you're in the right place.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds. I have spent many years working across the lifespan with children, adolescents, and adults in government, not-for-profits, with complex NDIS populations, and in private practice. I place a high value on working with individuals who may face barriers to traditional services including working with anxiety, depression, communication building, identity questions. I acknowledge the additional factors faced for clients with gender & sexuality concerns, with men & boys, and with rural populations who face considerable barriers to accessing traditional services.

I predominantly work with LGBTQIA+ individuals across a range of concerns, with a particular focus on high-functioning anxiety — including perfectionists, high-achievers, people-pleasers and self-sacrificers who are used to coping well on the outside while struggling underneath.
My approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, a humanistic, attachment-based therapy. Rather than focussing on coping strategies, we explore the emotional and attachment patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others, including underlying needs that can be difficult to recognise on your own, to allow new responses to emerge.

My approach is warm, relaxed and down to earth with genuine care and practical support. I’m a generally registered psychologist working with children, adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, phobias, OCD, self-harm, emotional regulation difficulties, stress and life transitions.

Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening, develop practical strategies and work towards meaningful change. If you have any questions just reach out !

I work with adults feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Many of my clients experience trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, low self-esteem, or unhelpful patterns of behaviour, and often come from diverse cultures or the LGBTIQA+ community. While I welcome and work with adults of all genders, I hold a special passion for supporting women as they process trauma, manage their mental health, and navigate life's unique transitions and complexities. Together, we work to understand these challenges, learn to cope, and build a stronger sense of self in a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental space.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialised training, either during their degree programme or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalisation in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialised training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
