Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA - Clin. Psych

Northcote, VIC 3070
A safe, welcoming therapy space for gay men, where you’ll be seen, valued, and accepted just as you are. Perhaps you learned early that being yourself felt unsafe, and adapted by hiding parts of yourself to avoid criticism or rejection. You may feel tension between staying safe and wanting to be truly seen. You might want deeper, more authentic relationships, greater self-compassion, and a life that feels genuinely your own, not limited by having grown up in a heteronormative world. Whether you’re facing a recent crisis, patterns that won’t shift, or want deeper self-understanding, we work at a pace that feels safe and respectful.

One of the miraculous things about being queer or trans is that our experiences do not fit in any box. Yet at times, we find ourselves isolated and uncertain, navigating our lives without a blueprint. Whether you are courageously working to heal troubled relationships with eating and food (including intersections with gender dysphoria or neurodivergence), navigating IVF, pregnancy or miscarriage as a queer person, working out non-normative relationship structures and transitions, or seeking to connect wiith what helps you to stay alive in this world, counselling with me is a safe and trusting space to reflect, heal and grow.

I work extensively with personality disorders and CPTSD.
I work to build trust with you, as a good working relationship has been evidenced to be the main factor in facilitating change across any therapeutic modality. Trauma-informed and somatic principles strongly guide my approach, as I believe our bodies offer valuable insights into how real change can be made.
