I work with people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, identity, anxiety, and disconnection from self and values.
You're good at holding it together on the outside, but privately running on empty. You say yes when you mean no. You shrink yourself to keep the peace. You're exhausted by how much space other people's feelings take up in your head. You might feel disconnected from who you actually are, stuck in patterns you can't quite name, or like something's off but you can't fully explain it. You're not in crisis. You're just tired of carrying so much. You want to slow down, understand what's been getting in the way, and start making choices that actually feel like yours.

Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed about COVID, work or relationships, I believe that addressing psychological challenges should begin with developing an awareness of the influence of past experiences on current mental health.
I bring a warm, reassuring and palpably non-judgemental approach to therapy and aim to demystify mental health concepts, so that you can independently apply knowledge to your unique life circumstances. My diverse work and life experiences at hospitals, clinics, Lifeline and advocacy coupled with an innate curiosity mean I approach therapy holistically.

I understand that something significant has likely brought you here. Perhaps you’ve experienced challenging events in the past, are facing life-changing circumstances, or even though everything seems fine externally, you’re struggling internally. For many, therapy can feel like a last resort. You might have tried other ways to feel better and whilst those steps can be helpful, difficult psychological struggles require specific psychological support. Reaching out to a therapist means sharing deeply personal with a complete stranger. This requires genuine vulnerability and it's natural to feel uncertain about booking a first session.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
