Anxiety, Trauma/PTSD, Autism, & ADHD are my four areas of specialty. If you would like to work with a psychologist who really understands these issues, who will tailor their approach to your specific needs, and who can provide a mixture of being patient, empathetic, and direct, then we will be a great fit. We will work towards resolving the root causes of problems, not just applying temporary fixes. We might do this by addressing past trauma, engaging in problem solving present-day issues, or building skills to better handle difficult thoughts, feelings, and challenges for the future.

As a late diagnosed Autistic/ADHD/PDA individual, I proudly own who I am and utilise this as a foundation for my framework of practise as a Registered Counsellor. It has given me the permission to deeply root myself in neurodiverse affirmative counselling; a strengths based, non-pathologising type of therapy where each individual’s unique neurotype, sensory needs, values, beliefs, and current lifestyle form the foundation for therapy. It gives me such joy to work with people in the process of unmasking, and gently guide them as they discover what living authentically can be like.

To offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space for clients to freely express and explore their truth is my passion and purpose in life. One of my favourite quotes which guides my practice is by Bessel van der Kolk who states: "Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives." - Bessel Van Der Kolk. Through the many forms of listening, I am able to enter into the world of my client and walk alongside them as they explore, express and empower themselves to navigate the challenges in their life.

I believe that a huge part of my job is to be able to sit with a client in the hardest of times, and allow them the space and support to get up by themselves. I take a very client centred approach to care and believe that the client is the expertise in their own lives. I use a basis of ACT, Narrative Therapy, EFT and SFT to drive my practice from evidence based models and enjoy working with clients from a multitude of different backgrounds. I believe in the power of creating a safe space for people to share and be vulnerable, the ability to do this is one of our great human gifts.

I’m Corene, a trauma-informed therapist offering gentle, collaborative therapy for adults & adolescents. My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a compassionate approach that helps you understand and care for the different “parts” of you that may be struggling. Alongside IFS, I draw from evidence-based & relational approaches such as CBT, ACT, & attachment-focused therapies, tailoring each session to what best supports your pace and goals. My clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people navigating change, emotional overwhelm or who feel stuck. Therapy with me creates clarity, connection and confidence.

My professional experience has included working with teenagers, children, neurodivergent individuals and women who have been the victims of domestic violence as well as women who are experiencing grief associated with reproductive loss.
Navigating and taking care of our mental health has never been so crucial in this age where being 'busy' has become more important than taking a break and just breathing. Unfortunately, our mental health is often in fact being neglected and when we become overwhelmed with all of our 'stuff', we sometimes feel like we can't reach out and ask for help. I encourage you to reach out if this is you. We can walk through this together.
