I work with adults living with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and the effects of trauma. I offer a space that is relational, intentional and unhurried and tailored to you. My approach is trauma informed, person-centered and psychodynamic at heart. I work across both conscious and unconscious processes. We pay attention to the thoughts and beliefs you're aware of, as well as some of the deeper emotional and somatic patterns that often quietly drive our life and struggles.
You don't need a GP referral or a Mental Health Care Plan to get in touch. Because I work independently of Medicare, our sessions are fully confidential and not limited to capped sessions. We can work at a pace and depth that's right for you.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out - Vanesa
