ACA Health Counselling in Hawthorn, VIC
I treat children, adolescents and adults. People come to therapy initially not knowing exactly what’s happening to them or in their relationships, only that something is difficult, painful or a source of conflict . I offer a private space to speak, even when words are hard to find. In my approach I offer a space where you are invited to express yourself freely sometimes about things that are very difficult to put to words.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but at the heart of therapy is connection—and that’s what I try my best to prioritise in our sessions. I believe therapy shouldn’t feel clinical or detached; it should feel like a conversation with someone who truly sees you. I work specifically with young adults aged 18 - 35, and I have a special interest in working with trauma and attachment difficulties, anxiety disorders, young adults who are experiencing family and relationship difficulties, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people who are experiencing identity struggles or those just feeling "stuck".

It gets full-on at times. Life feels demanding, people seem harsh or confusing, the hurt feels overwhelming, and the answers seem so far away. Other times, you’re left wondering what the point of it all is, and whether there is more to life. I want to help however I can. Helping people to understand themselves, navigate relationships, perceive the world more clearly, and discover meaning in life brings me great joy. Even better is helping people find their own innate resources to cope and to heal.

Life can challenge even the most capable among us. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—despite your strengths—you’re not alone. I understand how hard it can be to reach out, especially when you’ve always been the one others rely on.
As a Clinical Psychologist at ANIMA Health Network, I specialise in two areas: men’s mental health and couples therapy. For men, the pressure to “hold it together” often leads to burnout, anxiety, or emotional shutdown. I provide a calm, practical space to help you regain clarity and confidence.
