Noticing that we are slipping and finally in need of help can take many years. Equally, distress may be triggered overnight by a major life event, a traumatic experience or a recent psychiatric diagnosis. Signs of adverse mental health may be subtle or obvious. If you are here, you are possibly exploring the idea of counselling for yourself or a loved one. I encourage individuals to tune into the biological, social and emotional processes influencing their current mental state, manage states of distress and be guided by their core values in order to live a rich, full and meaningful life. I work with clients aged 15 and up.
Modalities include psycho-education, CBT, ACT, Schema, DBT, Emotion Coaching, Mindfulness and EMDR therapy. When working with clients, I am relatable, creative and incorporate a range of evidence based techniques appropriate for age and stage of development. I offer Medicare rebates under a mental health treatment plan for in person and online sessions.
The most difficult step is often the first one. If you’re exploring counselling for the first time, please do reach out and I will be in contact with you to explain my service to ascertain whether I am the best fit for your needs.
