Bupa Psychologists and Therapists in Boronia, VIC
My ideal client is someone who has carried the weight of responsibility for far too long: men, veterans, parents, and individuals navigating relationship strain, emotional fatigue, or a loss of direction. Often, they are the dependable ones, the "rocks" for others, but silently wrestling with stress, disconnection, or inner turmoil.
They want someone who gets it, they want to break patterns that no longer serve them, reconnect with their values, and take action that feels honest and grounded. Their goal is not to be "fixed," but to become more aligned: emotionally, mentally, and relatationally.

My aim to walk alongside couples to help them identify their own painful cycles of disconnection—where arguments repeat, intimacy fades, and both partners feel unheard or unseen. They may be navigating betrayal, communication breakdowns, or simply the quiet ache of growing apart. My aim is to create safety where couples can learn how to exit this negative cycle, rebuild trust and reconnect with one another and create renewed and deeper bonds their relationship.

I am a postgraduate qualified clinical counsellor and PACFA Clinical Member with a special focus on couples and individual therapy. I help people deconstruct the patterns that drain their energy—whether that is relationship conflict, anxiety, perfectionism, or depressive loops.
I provide a non-judgmental environment where the focus is never on blame, but on understanding the mechanics of why these loops keep repeating and how to actively fix them.

Recovering from trauma is hard work. It can leave you questioning who you are, doubting your instincts, and feeling out of control — often just when you hoped things were finally easing. The storm has a way of arriving uninvited, touching every part of your life: your relationships, your sense of purpose, even your sense of safety.
Having a counsellor who shows up consistently — with skill, warmth, and the ability to sit with you in the hard parts — can make the difference between barely surviving and genuinely healing.
I welcome referrals through the Victims Assistance Program, WorkSafe, and Carers Gateway.

Have you spent years trying to understand yourself, yet still find yourself caught in the same emotional patterns or relationship difficulties? Perhaps you've gained valuable insight through previous therapy, yet something still feels stuck.
When insight alone hasn't been been enough, it is often because the effects of trauma are reflected not only in how we think, but also in the protective ways our mind and nervous system have learned to respond.

You might be the strong one. Capable, high‑functioning, the one everyone leans on. But inside you feel anxious, wired, and tired of holding it all together. You overthink conversations, over‑give in relationships, and question yourself afterward. Maybe you reach for wine, food, or constant busyness just to take the edge off. You may have experienced trauma, grief, or a narcissistic relationship that shook your sense of safety. You want to feel calm, secure, and at home in yourself again, in your relationships, and in your body.

Don't expect to see a change if you don't make one. I enable positive change. My clients may have seen a therapist or coach before, but it didn't change anything for them. They then come to me. They want to make lasting positive change in their lives, but they need somebody to give them structured tools and support them in the growth process. Change can be good, but it is not easy. Typically, my clients come to me feeling that living on auto-pilot or that they have lost touch with who they are at their core. They desire more life satisfaction and are prepared to work for it. They want to thrive not just survive.
