Counselling in Northcote, VIC

In over 20 years as a therapist, I have worked with a wide range of clients and couples with many and varied issues. I work in a way that is strongly client, and emotionally focused. I have worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, substance issues, food disorders, grief, child-hood trauma, uncertainty around sexuality and gender, around identity and self confidence/esteem. I work well with clients who are looking to change their lives and who are open to exploring their issues; to challenge their thinking and to examine what isn't working for them and to take practical steps to shift beyond where they are now.

Looking for something a little different to traditional talking therapy? Often it can be hard to find the words to express how we are feeling or what is going on in your life that is getting you down. As a Mental Health Social Worker I use my traditional counselling skills and incorporate my Sensorimotor Art Therapy skills to add deeper meaning and reflection to make sense of the world through art, creativity and play.

I currently have availability to take on some new clients. I support individuals with a broad range of clinical needs in a non-judgmental, neuro-affirming and holistic way, utilising evidence based treatments. I provide a nurturing and safe space, and use a strength based, supportive and collaborative approach. My goal is to assist individuals in gaining greater insight and self-awareness, to enhance their emotional well-being, with the aim of supporting individuals to reach their full potential and thrive.

I specialise in using evidence-based music and counseling approaches to help you build confidence, manage big emotions and cope with life's challenges.

I bring 7 years of experience working with people with mental health challenges, cancer, dementia and grief, and a dedication to work with you to improve your life.

You are here because you feel like you (or someone you know) may need therapy and are reading through profiles of strangers, scrolling through their videos and photos. It's a pretty common part of being on the internet nowadays, along with scrolling through memes and videos of food and cats. You may be looking for connection. Someone who speaks to you and may get you and your life story. I know what’s like, because I’ve been on that side of the screen going through that same process. Today may not be the day you choose to call or email, but you are scoping what’s there and most of it may sound pretty similar profile to profile.

I am psychologist and psychotherapist specialising in trauma and perinatal mental health. Things happen to us which are overwhelming, unbelievable and unbearable, marking us in complex ways. We might feel anxious all the time or feel like we are stuck repeating the same old bad habits. The perinatal period, in particular, is a beautiful time, yet the demands of modern life can make it feel exhausting, alienating and empty.

Working with me is a collaborative process, oriented by curiosity, acceptance and choice. Sessions provide opportunity to rekindle awareness for what you most need and want, build trust in your wisest impulses, and reconnect with ways of living that disrupt harm, promote healing and support ease of being.
