Beth is a PACFA registered psychotherapist and counsellor offering compassionate, holistic, client-centred therapy. I have a special interest in working with women and adolescents to overcome patterns of shame, dysregulation and low self-esteem. Maybe you feel sad, stuck, anxious or compulsive, not knowing how to move forward. My approach is trauma-informed and compassion-based. Rather than viewing what is "wrong" or "shameful" or "pathological" about your experiences, we will meet them with curiosity and understanding and exploring them in greater depth leading to the most profound and empowering change.

I work with school-aged children, adolescents and adults experiencing stress, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and relationship difficulties. I am attentive to each individual's lived experience and recognise that although relational difficulties (with self and other) are shared human experiences, the ways in which they manifest in each person is entirely unique. My approach is therefore rooted in a deep curiosity about the uniqueness of each individual.

Choosing a psychologist is a big decision, and I suspect you've thought about this for a while. You know that therapy is an investment in yourself, and you don't make investments without doing your research. You are looking for someone you feel safe and comfortable sharing your most difficult thoughts and feelings with. You want someone to listen carefully, to respect you and your experience and to be invested in your goals providing support that is specifically tailored to who you are (otherwise you'd just be buying a self-help book). That's what you deserve!

Employee stress, overwhelm and anxiety impacts work performance, productivity and engagement. And this has a direct impact on businesses. We know that poor mental health effects workplace culture, communication, retention, productivity, relationships and success. In a world where stress, overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, and mental health concerns are on the rise, workplaces need to support the mental health and wellbeing of their employees. EAP counselling services support employees to handle challenges that effect work performance.
