Spirituality Psychologists and Therapists in Carlton, VIC
I come to this work with a deep interest in story, meaning, spirituality, and the complexities of belonging.
Many people come to counselling feeling stuck inside a story about themselves or their lives that has become heavy or limiting. Perhaps a problem has begun to define how you see yourself, your relationships, or your sense of direction. When this happens it can feel as though the problem has taken up too much space in your life. Counselling can offer a place to step back, reflect, and begin to see the fuller picture of who you are and what matters to you.

My approach can be summarised as warm yet direct. I do not focus on analysing problems or managing symptoms, rather I work hard to uncover and address the deeper issues that are at the core of your difficulties. This includes uncovering those patterns that operate largely outside of conscious awareness. I work this way because I believe that lasting change is difficult without first understanding the patterns that are shaping our experience.

As a Gestalt psychotherapist, my work is about noticing the ways we interrupt our natural flow, the patterns that keep us from fully engaging with life, and the barriers we place between ourselves and what we truly need. I work with individuals seeking to navigate life’s complexities, including relationship challenges, attachment wounds, trauma, grief and loss, and the search for deeper meaning. My approach is also shaped by my multicultural background, which has given me a deep appreciation for the ways our cultural roots and early environments influence how we see the world and relate to others.

I am a practising psychoanalyst working with adult and adolescent individuals and couples.
I seek to support those looking to resolve inner conflict and find positive change for their lives. You 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 you back. You may also be overwhelmed by big transitions like bereavement, divorce or relocation and feel stuck, or unvalued, in your professional journey.

Welcome to Anchor Point Practice. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in repeating patterns in their relationships, thoughts, or emotional responses. Many of the people I see are experiencing anxiety, overthinking, interpersonal stress, attachment wounds, or major life transitions. They often feel exhausted by the same arguments, disconnection, or internal loops.
In our work together, we slow things down to understand the relational patterns underneath the surface — helping you process trauma, build emotional safety, strengthen boundaries, and feel more confident in how you relate to others and to yourself.

The mind and body are inseparable systems. When one heals, the other follows.
The mind and body are inseparable systems, constantly influencing how we think, feel, and act. When stress or uncertainty take hold, neural pathways narrow, and clarity fades.
Through neuroscience-informed counselling and integrative coaching, I help you restore balance to your nervous system and strengthen the neural connections that support calm, confidence, and emotional intelligence. This is not simply about coping; it’s about rewiring the brain for long-term resilience.

Have you ever understood your struggles logically, but felt like your body and emotions haven't caught up?

I specialise in working with adults who haven't experienced the shift they hoped for through traditional talk therapy, guiding them to unpack core schemas and process deep-seated trauma using EMDR.

People come to therapy for a range of reasons. There might be recurrent problems in relationships or work, there might be disturbing feelings within, or behaviours that are defeating or destructive. Many people find that their usual ways of coping don’t seem to work for them anymore. Whatever the issue, undertaking psychotherapy is an opportunity for you to really understand the underlying drivers of the problem, in the context of your unique life history, and to find a way to transform your suffering. New possibilities for living with greater freedom and creativity might then appear.

Our inner world holds deep wisdom, often hidden beneath the stories we tell ourselves. By tuning into our emotions and listening to our bodies, we can uncover a personal map to a more meaningful life. With support and encouragement, we can recognise what we long for, what we need, ‘what truly feels right for me'. Together, we can explore how past experiences and the world around you shape your present-moment experience. When you become aware of old patterns, you can decide which ones still serve you - and which ones don’t - allowing you to step into new ways of being that bring greater connection, fulfilment, health, and wellbeing.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
