We are innately equipped for both struggle and connection, essential for enhancing our life experiences in areas like relationships, work, parenting, and beyond. Recognising the impact of adversity, it's important to understand how it shapes our emotional experiences and reactions. Adversity manifests in various ways, influencing our ability to express and process emotions across the spectrum - from joy and happiness to sadness and fear. Our team provides a supportive space that fosters a safe, warm, and empathetic environment where you can openly explore and discuss your personal experiences, through trauma-informed perspectives.

Your life, and your feelings matter. I can give you a safe, confidential space to be heard, accepted, and understood. You get to tell your story and talk about your struggles at your own pace, and together we can work towards greater clarity and resolutions. In our sessions I draw partly on my own lived experience. I have insight into trauma, workplace stress, high-functioning autism and supporting a family member with dementia. I also have 25 years experience working with children and their families. These assets give me empathy and a deep understanding of a wide range of others' personal experiences.

In over 30 years practice experience & ongoing professional development; I have had the privilege of working with children, young people and adults whose engagement, potential and enjoyment in education, employment, social recreational & family contexts has been compromised through challenging acute (short) or chronic (long term) experiences – affecting their mental health and overall wellbeing. Through an integrative therapeutic model we have many positive, wonderful, inspiring and occasionally surprising outcomes; with felt and observable progress - often from our very first session.

In my 24 years as a mental health provider, I have taken great pride in helping people through a variety of challenges and life events. To me, therapy is about become whole again, healing current issues and past traumas, (even the ones we don’t remember, but our bodies and psyche does). Most often clients present with one issue and the connections we make during our work together show many layers and exactly why these situations arise. I help my clients not only understand where they are and why they are there, but also what they must do to change their lives, heal, and move forward a happier and healthier person.

I have been working in the fields of family therapy and stress-related disorders and conditions for more than twenty-two years, since being an army chaplain both in the South African and Australian Defence Forces during times of military conflict (I served for extensive periods on the front lines of battle and experienced the horrors of traumatic incidents, death, loss, brokenness, anger and excessive aggression behind retaliation on the front line). Touched by the distress of those around me, I realised that we have to be proactive and therefore intentionally develop sustainable resilience before facing extreme distress!

We all experience varying degrees of anxiety or depression, but when those feelings become debilitating, life can lose its colour. You are not alone. I invite you to come and tell your story in a safe space where you can process what you are going through, and begin to move towards a lifestyle that aligns with your values. Whether you are dealing with trauma, relationship difficulties, identity issues, major life changes, grief and loss, work/study problems, addiction or maybe you just want to connect with your best self, my door is open.

All I ask of my clients is that they show up to session. Beyond that, we figure out together. I aim to create a safe, collaborative environment where clients are able to share their authentic selves and be accepted as they are. I predominantely work with those with Dissociative Identity Disorder and those who have experienced complex trauma from childhood. My goal with all clients is to work together to develop treatment goals and style. I pride myself on being a chameleon, being able to adapt to clients style, whilst still maintaining my core authentic self in session. Support starts here.

A relationship-based approach is at the core of my practice- I've found that only when people feel welcomed and accepted do they feel safe enough to explore important challenges and issues.

I have an incredible passion and commitment to working with people whose lives have been pushed around by a broad range of mental health issues. I hope in meeting with people that they will feel heard, validated, and not judged. I hope that people will leave each conversation having had a very different sort of conversation, a conversation where people leave with a greater understanding of their issues and the context surrounding the issue, what they might be preferring for their life and how that might be possible.
