I draw on EMDR, ACT, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy, adapting these to suit your goals and needs.
Life can feel overwhelming and at times we need extra support. You might be dealing with anxiety, low mood, trauma, burnout, ADHD, or just feeling stuck. Maybe you're looking to understand yourself better, cope more effectively, or find a bit more peace. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what's going on. You don’t have to go through it alone. If you're looking for a safe, supportive space to explore things at your pace, I offer online psychology sessions for adults across Australia, and in-person sessions in Elwood VIC.

I work with individuals (and couples) who are interested in learning more about themselves and how they can relate to themselves and others in a healthier way. We all have moments where we could use that extra support, whether it is going through a major life change or wanting one to happen.
My door is always open to all kinds of diversity and I strive towards understanding each person's experiences in managing differences, that may show up as anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship issues; as we move towards a deeper sense of belonging and a more rewarding life, through practices in mindfulness and gentle self-inquiry.

You can book a free 30-minute consultation with me from the start. I specialise in trauma, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders that cause ongoing pain and require real change.

Many of my clients are insightful and self aware, yet still feel stuck inside their own responses.

I utilise CBT, ACT, Attachment Theory, NT, Transpersonal Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and psychoeducation.
One of the barriers to self-care is allowing yourself to go into the depths of your experiences. Often, we are challenged to explore and understand this profound chasm, to touch what is held there, to hear its messages, and to connect with compassion to the raw emotions that have been lying dormant for years or just surfaced. By peering into the abyss, we can gain deeper understanding of ourselves and insight into the meaning of our lives; transforming and opening up possibilities the future could hold for us.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside—but inside, it feels different.
Part of you pushes to stay in control, fix things, and keep it all together… while another part feels overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted.
You may notice the same patterns repeating—overthinking, emotional reactions, or relationship tension—and no matter how hard you try, they don’t shift. There may also be older experiences or unresolved pain shaping how you feel and respond.
What you’re looking for is a sense of calm, clarity, and understanding—along with support to make sense of what’s happening inside and feel more grounded and at ease.
