Counselling in Greater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC
I believe that therapy is important. And I know that changing our behaviour is hard. Therapy offers a valuable pathway to help you step back, evaluate, and give you the choice to do things differently in your life. Therapy offers us the opportunity to change, supporting you to regain control of your life and while providing concrete strategies to help you do so. I’m a Clinical Psychologist with experience working in both the public and private sectors in Australia. I am trained in CBT, DBT, ACT, interpersonal therapy and mindfulness-based approaches.
