Codependency Psychologists and Therapists in Mooloolaba, QLD
Many of the adults I work with have spent years feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed. They might be navigating ADHD, autism spectrum traits or longstanding trauma, often without clear formulation or integrated support. Some have received a late diagnosis or recognise high masking patterns. Others struggle with emotional regulation, relationship strain or persistent distress that has not shifted with short-term approaches. They want clarity, stability and a deeper understanding of themselves.

Maybe you've started noticing the same patterns showing up in your relationships, your reactions, or the way you see yourself. You might find yourself shutting down, overthinking, people-pleasing, struggling to trust, choosing the same relationships, or reacting in ways you don't fully understand. You don't need to arrive at therapy with all the answers. I work with individuals and couples who are curious about themselves and ready to understand what's underneath the patterns, process what they've been carrying, and create meaningful change.

We all have parts of ourselves that we like, and we have parts of ourselves that frustrate, confuse, or scare us.

I am a PACFA registered clinical counsellor with over 20 years of experience, a certified Level 2 IFS psychotherapist, and a certified mindfulness teacher. I have a special interest in trauma informed, mindfulness and body-based approaches. I specialize in working with complex childhood trauma, but can also help with a range of other issues.
My clients have often tried various psychological modalities which helped to some degree, but continued to struggle with certain issues. The combination of therapeutic modalities I use, particularly IFS, often helps people go much deeper within themselves and resolve those issues.

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.

I work alongside women navigating neurodivergence, highly sensitive nervous systems, trauma, chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, burnout, anxiety, addiction, experiences of oppression, and significant life transitions including perimenopause and menopause. Many arrive feeling disconnected from themselves, their bodies or their sense of meaning, often carrying symptoms that have not been fully understood through traditional approaches. Together we explore the stories, patterns, relationships and systems that have shaped their experience and support a process of reconnecting with self, body, community and life.

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, disconnection, overwhelm, or repeated relational conflict, and who are ready for something deeper than surface-level change.
My approach is calm, relational, and depth-oriented. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we work by understanding behaviours and the drivers behind them — the patterns, protective strategies, emotions, and unmet needs that shape how you relate to yourself and others. This allows change to happen in a way that feels steady, not forced.
Clients often describe feeling safe, understood, and guided toward meaningful change.

I work with people who are thoughtful, reflective, and ready to actively engage in therapy. Many of my clients are functioning well on the outside yet feel anxious, burnt out, stuck, or caught in repeating relational patterns. They’re not looking for quick fixes, but for a deeper understanding of how their nervous system shapes their emotions, body, and relationships. Through somatic psychotherapy, we work at a steady and supportive pace to build regulation, capacity, and trust in yourself. Over time, clients often feel more grounded, less reactive, and more able to meet life and relationships with clarity, choice, and ease.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
