Counselling in Carlton North, VIC

As a therapist, I understand the need for warmth and acceptance. This is the foundation of a therapeutic relationship where people can show up with aspects of themselves that are problematic and unhelpful without judgement. I can relate to very human uncomfortable and undesirable behaviors, feelings and beliefs about ourselves. Through consistent support, compassion and curiosity, positive change becomes possible.

Undertaking therapy is a very personal experience. A person may come to therapy to process complex trauma, work through relationship struggles, or simply desire to get to know and understand themselves more deeply. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, the gifts born from the process of building self-awareness benefit not only you but also those around you who you love. It is profoundly humbling to support my clients to move through adversity, unpack challenging questions, grieve, transition, and move towards wellbeing. I am dedicated to the service of helping people to build agency, inner resources, and stability.

I am a psychologist with experience in working with people who identify with LGBTQIA+ identities and/or struggle with chronic medical conditions (cancer, chronic pain, etc.). I also have experience working with adolescents and young adults in public settings to help them manage severe mental health conditions (bipolar, psychosis, and chronic suicidality). In addition, I am also doing research on suicidality and LGBTQ mental health as well as teaching psychology across university settings.

Do you suffer from unprocessed trauma or feel stuck, anxious, depressed? Are you experiencing sex or gender identity issues, interpersonal struggles or emotional dysregulation?

Through our sessions you will see a change in your nervous system and emotional regulation, self-awareness of patterns and behaviours, self-compassion and a larger vitality for life. I offer support for individuals and couples experiencing relationship challenges particularly ethical non monogamy and kink. Couples will experience a new found sense of understanding.

I work with adults who have a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, sexual health, erectile dissatisfaction, LGBTQ+ issues, anger, addiction with alcohol, gambling, gaming, masturbation, and pornography.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Counsellor and Psychotherapist and have worked for many years across health, mental health and palliative care settings with people with varied issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, suicidality and adjusting to living with life threatening and limiting illness, grief and loss. I specialise in working with people experiencing dissociation, especially those identifying as living with DID, plurality, gender and/or neurodiversity.

I seek to support clients who are looking to make positive change in their lives. They may want to move away from difficult emotional states like depression, anxiety, anger and loneliness or address repetitive and destructive behaviours such as substance abuse or sexual compulsion that are holding them back. They may also be overwhelmed by big transitions like bereavement, divorce or relocation and feel stuck, or unvalued, in their professional journey. I see clients of all ages and from many walks of life, with a particular focus on men's mental health, working professionals, and members of the LGBTQ community.

I am a psychologist with extensive experience across a range of corporate and educational settings.

I have a passion for working with couples, people looking to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, anger and grief. I want to help you achieve a better understanding of why you feel the way you do, why you think in a particular way, and to challenge and shift behaviour patterns which are holding you back from experiencing a more connected, fulfilled and meaningful life.

Having a safe and non-judgmental place to talk in your most vulnerable moments is really important. I believe that each person is worth being heard, seen, and known, and I work to compassionately help you tell your story. My areas of interest are general counselling, life transition, stress, burnout, grief, trauma, spiritual and religious issues, and mental health issues such as anxiety. I enjoy working with people from a diverse range of cultures, beliefs and experiences.

Once you know exactly ‘what’ to do you will quickly regain control, find your feet, and move forward. I have over 30 years experience helping people and have been a consultant in charge of a major hospital Psychology Clinic. I have also worked in an Anxiety Disorder Clinic, and Family Therapy Clinic. This level of expertise allows for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment. I employ practical, tested methods. When you are under stress it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you are powerless, and that this is just the way things are. You will start to believe, “I’m not as capable as I once was"

I am a gentle, compassionate, and trauma-informed psychologist who works well with people from all walks of life and strives to be an ally to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent folks. I view mental health issues as understandable responses to challenging life circumstances and/or unmet emotional needs rather than pathological or deficit-based ‘disorders’. In my work, I do everything I can to establish a warm, empathic, curious, and non-judgemental therapeutic space for clients to work on things that matter to them as they build a life that is increasingly rewarding, meaningful, and in line with their values.

So many people feel lonely and disconnected. This can have many causes - childhood trauma, bullying, there are numerous factors. This results in anxiety, depression, sometimes suicidal thoughts. I value people beginning to see their own self worth, to recover from anxiety, depression trauma, whatever has caused them problems. Wonderful to see people starting to cope better with life, to become fully alive and be able to have meaningful relationships. Whatever is causing you suffering doesn't need to continue, do the work and start to recover.
