You dream of having a wonderful, meaningful life, and having it all together. But reality looks very different than this. You feel stuck, not going forward, and desperate for answers. Coping for you involves distracting yourself, pushing away the discomfort, hoping things will magically sort themselves. But they don't. Everything just overruns you again, making you feel powerless. And you get lost in this space where you are so discouraged, have no motivation, and you cannot think your way towards a place where you can breathe again. If this sounds familiar, then I'd love to help.

You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss or the effects of past or recent trauma and don’t know how to process your recovery; you may be a couple in crisis or wanting to build a better relationship but don’t have the tools; you may be ‘sick and tired’ of feeling ‘tired and sick’ - struggling with addiction or a family member of someone living with addiction. I tailor counselling and psychotherapy to meet individual clients’ needs, collaborating to build a safe and trusted therapeutic relationship. I use Gottmans’ approach to support couples to repair damaged relationships and build a ‘sound relationship house’.

As a Clinical Psychologist I am grateful to have shared many diverse experiences over the past 20 years, working with people at different stages of their life. I have an honest down-to-earth approach providing practical ideas, guidance and strategies for building skills to manage life's challenges and encourage positive outcomes. Perspective and empathy are important in life. How we choose to look at individual events, ourselves and others can shape how we manage difficulties and how effectively we work toward the things that are important to us. We all struggle at times and we all have the capacity to grow in a positive direction.

Hello. I am a registered psychologist with twenty years experience. I treat a wide variety of issues, however, my passion area is eating, weight and emotions. I am skilled at working with clients of all weights (from underweight to overweight/obese) and address the "why" of eating/dieting behaviour rather than just the "what". It is best to tackle a problem by understanding the causes. I also work with people with binge eating disorder, bulimia, body image issues and other related problems in a caring and empowering way. If you want to manage your health by normalising your relationship with food, I may be able to help.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
