I am currently taking new clients with a wait. Call reception to book. Hi! I am a general psychologist with over three decades of experience. I came to therapy/counselling with a non-pathologising view of symptoms and behaviour. My view is that the vast majority of symptoms of "mental illness" are an understandable response to various life circumstances. Some deep in our past, some in our present. I am passionate about helping people to heal from trauma and live full lives. I also work with a range of common problems such as anxiety and depression. You can transform your life. Via telehealth, I can see clients in any location.

I help couples and individuals re-discover their relationships and build stronger connections that bring joy and fulfilment. Instead of simply talking about issues you are dealing with, we will learn practical, effective communication tools that can transform your conversations and help you break through gridlocked issues. And if you feel disconnected from your partner, we will use research-based methods of strengthening your connection so that you can feel closer again.

I support people to resolve deeply held patterns of trauma or stress related disorders that play havoc on the nervous system. These patterns and disruptions can often hold you back from fully expressing yourself or reaching your optimum levels of health and vitality. Maybe you have had stubborn health issues or an unresolved trauma that keeps playing out in your personal and professional relationships or you have a burning desire to step out and tread your own path but something is holding you back and you don't know how or where to start?

Sessions are bookable online via my website. Do you struggle feeling like you are not a good person, partner, or parent? Are you going through a transitional phase of your life? Is performance anxiety getting in your way of competing? You're not alone! There are times we all feel like we are not enough or just can't get that balance in life but knowing that other people go through it doesn't help. You want action, you want a plan, and steps you can take to make that change. You want someone you can trust and talk to that is not involved or connected. Counsellors do not work with MHP or offer services under Medicare in Australia.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
