Psychologists and Therapists for Elderly in North Adelaide, SA
I work with individuals aged 16 and above who are experiencing anxiety, low mood, OCD, or the effects of trauma. Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns that are difficult to shift—such as overthinking, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, or feeling constantly on edge. You might be someone who appears to be coping on the outside but feels overwhelmed internally, or someone who has tried to manage things on your own but is finding it increasingly exhausting. I take a collaborative approach to therapy. Together, we will make sense of what is maintaining your current difficulties and identify clear, manage steps forward.

You're insightful, maybe overthinking a little too often, and carrying more than you show. You might be navigating burnout, trauma, identity shifts, or relationship strain—just trying to make sense of it all. You're not here for surface-level coping or fluffy advice; you want honesty, depth, and a space to show up without the mask. By the end of our work, when life tries to push you, I want you to be able to look it dead in the eye and say, “No, YOU move.”

I work with adults affected by trauma, stress, and overwhelming life experiences, using EMDR therapy as my primary approach. You may be living with the after-effects of childhood trauma, emotionally abusive relationships, or past events that still feel unresolved. Even if life looks “fine” on the outside, you might feel constantly on edge, not good enough, or stuck in patterns you can’t break. Trauma can leave you feeling unsafe in your own body, weighed down by shame, or disconnected from who you want to be. I focus on treating anxiety, PTSD, depression and help with difficult life events and grief and loss.

Successful relationships are the basis of our well-being and good mental health. When relationships are stressed and conflicts start to escalate, the pain can be overwhelming. You are so busy every day helping others that you may feel like you haven’t enough to give to anyone at the day’s end. When your focus at work is helping others, it can feel even more lonely and distressing to feel disconnected at home with your partner. If you're finding that the same problems, the same arguments, aches and disappointments are on repeat mode, it's time to reach out for help.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
