Trauma Focused Psychologists and Therapists in Kew, VIC
With a focus on healing from trauma and grief, I work with adults experiencing a wide range of concerns, including mood difficulties, anxiety, relationship challenges, emotion dysregulation, and difficulty navigating life transitions and challenges. I have a particular interest (from lived experience) in supporting women who have lost their mothers, whether through death or relationship rupture. I offer person‑centred, trauma‑informed care and draw on a range of evidence‑based approaches, including EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness‑based interventions, somatic therapies, and attachment‑focused frameworks.

Specialising in high risk adolescents and adults, I offer contemporary psychoanalysis and EMDR resulting in powerful therapeutic benefits. Integrating several types of therapy (CBT, solution focused, problem solving), psychoanalysis informs my work in terms of the way I conceptualise the client's current problems and EMDR (as needed) results in a faster way of processing trauma. Combining these two therapies provides effective in-depth therapy with relatively brief therapy. If you have been suffering with unresolved psychological trauma, I can help you to overcome the problems that are keeping you from maximising your potential.

I draw from trauma-focused and attachment-based therapies, including IFS, EMDR and Schema Therapy.
Anxiety, depression, relationship and communication difficulties, people pleasing, shame, perfectionism, and low self-worth are just some of the struggles that can leave you feeling caught in painful patterns that are difficult to change. Often, these patterns make more sense when we understand them in the context of your early relationships and life experiences. My work helps you explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, so they no longer define how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. Together, we work towards greater self-trust, emotional wellbeing, and healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

You may look like you’re coping on the outside, while internally feeling stuck in patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. Or maybe you've spent years looking after everyone else, but struggle to extend the same compassion to yourself.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware and high-functioning, but still find themselves caught in patterns they can’t seem to shift.
Therapy can help you understand where these patterns come from—and begin creating meaningful, lasting change.

People often come to psychotherapy as an alternative to mainstream psychological treatments, in the hope of finding deeper resolutions to long standing issues. Psychotherapy indeed offers a path to resolving underlying causes of mental health or relational issues, through longer term therapy. In my practice of psychotherapy, I offer a reflective relationship, where we use the body (somatic therapy) and our relationship (interpersonal therapy), as sources of insight and change. This process can not only relieve symptoms such as anxiety or depression but also provides fundamental insights into who you are and who you might want to be.
