Therapies CBT, ACT,DBT and EMDR
Repeating patterns of unhelpful behaviour, feeling frustrated with emotional fluctuations and relentless self criticism is exhausting. It not only impacts your energy but can create barriers to truly connecting with others and living a fulfilling life.
Understanding how these beliefs developed and are maintained is important in establishing change. Developing ways to break cycles and reset your way of thinking, feeling and responding can be empowering and life changing. Knowing you have skills that will enable you to heal, cope and manage most of life's challenges frees you to focus more energy on building the life you value

Together, we work at your pace to understand thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours, process difficult experiences, and develop practical strategies and tools to help you feel more grounded and confident.

I have spent half of my professional life working with people. This translated into a desire to help people in need, which led me to studying psychology and counselling. I believe, the most important skill for a counsellor is to strive for connection, assisting the client with their life issues or questions. My aim is to listen, connect and provide that support on a journey of healing or change.

The therapies I use most include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) and Narrative Therapy.
Many people living with complex trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ minority stress come to therapy believing there's something "wrong" with them. We can struggle for a lifetime in our attempts to "fix" ourselves and our lives. But what if the basic premise isn't true? My practice is grounded in the belief that you've responded to your life exactly as anyone else would, given what you've been through. In our work, I'll support you to understand the impact of past experiences, commit to new ways of responding and relating, and move with courage toward what truly matters to you.

I've spent twelve years on the front line of community services. I've worked as a drug and alcohol counsellor. I've supported people rebuilding their lives after prison. I've spent years working with children, adolescents and families under strain. I’ve worked with many couples on the brink of separation. And I've facilitated around a thousand men's behaviour change group sessions — thousands of hours in rooms with men working through anger, relationships and accountability, many of whom walked in convinced that counselling had nothing to offer them.
That kind of work teaches you things that you can’t learn in a textbook.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
