Counselling in Chatswood, NSW

Going to therapy takes guts. Often, it takes a person, or a couple, years to move from contemplating therapy to booking a first appointment. It’s not an easy process. But, what you get out of therapy is directly related to what you put into it. And I will match your dedication with mine. The process of healing and recovery is also one of becoming and realising. Therapy is self-development at its most satisfying. Yes, it takes courage, effort, and, often, a leap of faith. But, if you are ready to give yourself the gift of therapy, I am here to take that leap with you.

I am a dedicated professional with dual qualifications as a registered Psychologist and Occupational Therapist. My career has been shaped by a deep belief in the transformative power of listening, connecting, and nurturing. With a wealth of experience spanning numerous years, I've mostly dedicated myself to providing care within the public mental health sector, specifically focusing on individuals coping with moderate to severe, persistent mental illnesses, from inpatient to outpatient settings.

Human beings are a part of evolution's legacy, and despite some contrary indicators to this, I like the idea that we are at the leading edge of an unfolding universe. That makes us complex, and since birth we've made it this far by having a bunch of needs met. But needs change as we grow and often we end up with deficiencies in those needs that cause pain and suffering. To thrive there are universal human needs that must first be met, including needs to be seen and heard, understood and respected. Both individual and couple therapy offer the opportunity for those needs to be met, so we are better equipped to move on.
