Starting therapy can feel like a big step, particularly if you’ve been managing things on your own or have had unhelpful experiences with therapy before. I aim to offer a space where you can slow down and think carefully about what is happening in your life. My approach is psychodynamic and relational, focusing on understanding the emotional and relationship patterns that shape how we experience ourselves and others. I often work with people navigating issues of self-esteem, identity, shame, and relationship difficulties, including those seeking a deeper understanding of themselves rather than a quick fix.

I work with people who feel burnt out or quietly overwhelmed by the pressure to keep proving themselves. Life can feel like a constant test of your abilities, creativity, and resilience. You may be excelling on the outside — at work, in your studies, or in your creative projects — but inside, there’s a persistent exhaustion, self-doubt, or sense that you’re never doing enough. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, think deeply, and explore not just symptoms but the underlying pressures shaping your experience.

I endeavour to provide you with a gentle, reflective space to facilitate a joint exploration of your inner world. One of our innermost needs is to form meaningful emotional connections. How we internalise relationships with others, in combination with our temperament and proclivities, influences our development. Frustrations of our emotional needs result in painful feelings, perceptions, and expectations about ourselves and others, all of which obscure our true selves. My approach, therefore, is to help you develop insight into and work through your emotional experience to connect with your true self.

Life happens whether we feel ready or not. Change, stress, and difficult emotions don’t always wait until the timing feels right; and neither should your chance to feel better. You deserve to be living the life you want now, not just surviving and hoping things will settle someday. I work mainly with young adults around anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity and relationship concerns, and alcohol or other drug use, with experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

I am a Brisbane-based psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice, working with individuals (16+ years) and couples. My way of working tends to resonate with those who feel a quiet pull to understand themselves more deeply, and with those who sense that their relationships—both with themselves and others—could hold more ease and coherence. I try to approach each person as singular, attending not only to their symptoms or struggles, but to the particular texture of their inner world and the unfolding story of who they are becoming.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
