Counselling in Carlton North, VIC

I am an experienced clinical psychologist who is warm, caring and dedicated to providing high quality psychological care to adults in Melbourne. I create a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your experiences and work toward your goals. My style is friendly, down-to-each, and approachable.

Whether the problem that has brought you here is something recent, or has been an issue for a long time, I can help you to clearly understand the problem and identify the specific things we need to do in therapy for you to see some healthy change. Without you feeling overwhelmed, we will address the unconscious patterns that work against you and build your emotional capacity to prevent the problems creeping back in. My eight years experience in the mental health field has included helping people with depression, anxiety, family and relationship problems, psychosomatic issues, low self-esteem, trauma and addictions.

I have worked with adolescents and adults across a range of settings including community mental health and hospital settings for over eight years. I also facilitate individual/group therapy at a large Mental Health Clinic. I work with a number of clinical presentations including Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, anxiety and stress management, Bipolar disorder, adjustment disorders, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem issues, as well as eating, weight and body concerns using Dialectical Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders.

We all seek solace from difficult thoughts and emotions which can overwhelm our experience from time to time. Life can be hard, and difficult experiences are not a sign of failure but a sign that support is needed. We believe everyone has the strength to live the life they value and we are here to provide some skills and support along the way.

I am a compassionate human who loves to support other humans in figuring out how to live life more bravely and meaningfully. My overall approach is client-centred. I will consider you the expert in your life and will encourage exploration of your creativity, resourcefulness and strengths. The process of finding a new counsellor can take time, energy, money and courage so I offer all new clients an obligation-free 10 minute chat via phone or zoom to see if it's a good fit before we start working together.

I am a psychologist with extensive experience across a range of corporate and educational settings. I provide a safe and supportive environment in which to explore and resolve challenging personal and relationship issues. 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.

Help is available people experiencing anxiety, sleep difficulty, panic attacks, OCD, and depression. I welcome people from all walks of life, including people from culturally diverse background and neurodivergent individuals. As of March 2024, I do not have a waitlist and have Saturday appointments available.

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'm a clinical psychologist in private practice with a particular focus on LGBTQIA+ wellbeing. I work with ​anyone looking to learn skills to manage difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations.

Do you suffer from unprocessed trauma or feel stuck, anxious, depressed? Are you experiencing sex or gender identity issues, interpersonal struggles or emotional dysregulation? This includes relationships with fear, self-doubt, shame and guilt, and major life transitions. 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.

As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, I offer one-on-one support around a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem and self-confidence issues, major life transitions, grief and loss and parenting difficulties.

I work with clients aged 14 and up.

My work is about being curious; diving deeper into exploring the self, all the mysterious, hidden, buried and forgotten aspects. It's a rediscovery... helping to find your magic, raw, beautifully wild, unconditioned YOU. It's about getting in touch with your child-like curiosity and coming home to your innermost self. I am particularly passionate about working with adults to navigate; grief and loss, relationships, fear, shame, anger, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, major life transitions, developing self-love, self-worth and self-compassion.
