I draw on evidence-based approaches like Solution-Focused, Narrative, CBT, DBT, and NBT, tailoring each session to your needs.
Life throws curveballs—parenting, work stress, relationships—you name it. It’s easy to start wondering, am I even getting this right? You’re definitely not alone. As a dad of two, I get how messy and full-on life can feel. That’s why I offer therapy that’s real, down-to-earth, and works around your schedule with after-hours appointments available. Please note that counselling is a self-funded service, as counsellors are not included under the Medicare Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) and do not offer Medicare rebates in Australia.

​ I use a combination of emotional, cognitive and somatic therapeutic approaches in my work, because not everyone is the same, and I find as a therapist I need a variety of tools in my kit to meet the unique needs of each client.
I work collaboratively with my clients, am trauma-informed, and approach my work with a combination of warmth, mindful compassion and a non judgemental stance to create a feeling of emotional safety.

I work with adults, adolescents, and families who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or periods of deep uncertainty. Many of the people I support are highly responsible, sensitive, or accustomed to holding things together for others, and come to therapy feeling tired, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. My work is especially supportive for those who sense that their struggles are showing up not only emotionally, but also through the body

I see women with anxiety, burnout, depression, women who are in life transitions, eating disorders, neurodivergence and high performing women some of whom want to up level and others who are tired of perfectionism.

I will often integrate aspects of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), which explores recurring relational patterns, and have a love of EMDR, which helps people to connect with challenging experiences to reshape their sense of self and worldview.
At Saltmarsh Psychology, I work collaboratively with clients to better understand the patterns, experiences, and emotions that shape their lives and relationships. Many of the difficulties people face, such as anxiety, depression, or the impact of trauma, can be connected to long-standing ways of thinking, feeling, and relating that developed earlier in life. Through therapy, my aim is to provide a safe and reflective space where clients can process difficult experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and build more balanced and fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.
