Self Esteem Psychologists and Therapists in Brighton, VIC
We understand that ADHD is not simply about attention or organisation, it affects emotions, relationships, work, study, self-esteem, and daily life in deeply personal ways.
As with many conditions, the earlier ADHD can be diagnosed, the better the outcomes usually are. Considering a professional ADHD assessment is a crucial step. It not only helps in understanding yourself or your child’s strengths but also provides insights into effective strategies for managing the condition.

I exclusively work with crickerers (young amateurs, semi-pro, pro or elite), sport parents, performers & sport team coaches. I help you with the psychological shifts needed to transition through the different stages of your sporting career. EG: From Semi-pro to Pro or from Pro to Elite. Before you even get to that level, you need to know you belong there. All the issues you are experiencing in your sport stem from that core issue. That is the essence of my work.

Through a thoughtful and collaborative process, I help clients better understand their experiences and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I work with couples from diverse cultural backgrounds who are seeking greater understanding, trust, intimacy, and emotional security. Together, we create a space where difficult conversations can occur safely and productively, allowing meaningful change to become possible.

EMDR & Play Therapy sessions can be really impactful way of helping you connect with your child to work through inner feelings, and process what might be challenging in your relationship. It is often really tough for children to express what's going on for them using words, and this is often why they find ways to communicate with us through their behaviour. This can feel scary and overwhelming for us as caregivers, who may just be needing things to become a little easier at home.
I also offer EMDR to children and adolescents - allowing young people to safely process their internal needs and worries meaningfully.

I am a registered clinical counsellor. I use Emotion-Focused Therapy as my main mode of practice. EFT is Person Centred/Humanistic. It is based on the Attachment and Identity theory. It also means that in therapy, I prioritise working on emotions. You may have learned to avoid and suppress your feelings, or they may have overwhelmed you. In therapy, I aim to support you in befriending and welcoming your feelings so they become a resource as they are meant to be and not a hindrance.

If you are an adult, wanting meaningful help to alleviate suffering, be it from longstanding depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship problems or work issues, please feel free to reach out.

I am passionate about helping clients navigate anxiety and relationship challenges. This includes high functioning anxiety (stress, burnout, & perfectionism), generalised anxiety (overthinking & catastrophising), OCD intrusive thoughts, panic, social anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, difficulty navigating relationships, being self-critical or doubting oneself, people-pleasing, & excessive guilt. The way we relate to ourselves, and others, is fundamental to our mental health. Anxiety can place significant strain on relationships, just as difficulties in our relationships can, in turn, heighten feelings of anxiety.

My therapeutic practice draws on a range of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy, Solution Focused, Compassion Focused and Clinical EFT Tapping.

You've come here because you're suffering in some way. It is my honour to be able to offer a therapy space for people who want to face the pain in their lives, and see what might be on the other side. Many people come at times of change or transition: relationships, life stages, careers, dark nights of the soul, or plunges into the deep end. Or, people come feeling stuck after years of coping with trauma and addiction. In sessions, I support you to identify the conflicts, emotions, memories, and relationship struggles that repeat and we find ways to experience these differently.

All people of all ages can experience difficult times in their life. These may have been caused by an event that has caused distress, issues with family, friendships, relationships, the work place, health issues and countless other situations. Sometimes events have happened long ago and continue to trouble us and impact our life, or the situation may be more recent. It can be difficult to share what is happening. Often we don't want to burden or worry those who care for us; or we may feel uncomfortable talking to people we know. Counselling provides support toward finding resolutions and living life in the best way possible.
