I have 25 years’ experience in public mental health and private practice. It is well established that the most important ingredient for any successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship which develops over time and helps you feel safe. I work with you to make sense of your unique story and the reasons you’re engaging in therapy. I start by understanding your early life experiences which impact your thinking patterns, emotions and behaviours from an emphatic and non-judgmental position. Therapy is embedded with compassion, tailored to meet your goals, from a strengths based position to empower your recovery journey.

I work with adults who are seeking to understand the core issues contributing to their challenges and behavioural patterns, and wanting effective solutions. I support clients to establish and implement coping strategies for their anxiety, depression, panic, life stage transitions, stress, challenging emotions, and trauma. I have an interest in nervous system dysregulation and the many ways it can show up physiologically, emotionally, psychologically, in interpersonal relationships and at work. I have experience as an NDIS behaviour support practitioner, supporting clients with Autism, ADHD and other complex mental health issues.

Something isn’t quite right. It may be that you can’t stop yourself from worrying. Or you are compulsively avoiding things (places, people, certain situations). Perhaps you find yourself flying into a sudden, uncontrollable, panic. It may be that you are feeling down: you can’t shake the sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness in your life. You may be feeling worthless and guilty too. It could be your relationships that aren’t working (partner, friends, family, boss, or colleagues). Perhaps past experiences are haunting you so that you lose your connection to the present and the people in it. Perhaps it's all of the above.

The people who work with me are often independent thinkers, they're bright and creative. They might also feel isolated, stuck, that there's something missing, or that they haven't yet been heard in a way that allows them to feel a bit freer to really enjoy their lives. Many would say that they feel like outsiders. The people I work with have often had seriously difficult histories. Sometimes they support someone else who suffers. I value working with others of all ages from my LGBTQ+ and GBKS (diversity in gender, body, kinship & sexuality) communities.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a special interest in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, health anxiety, intrusive thoughts, chronic worrying (Generalised Anxiety Disorder) and related anxiety disorders. I work with clients via online therapy (telehealth) Australia-wide. I primarily use an Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) based approach which is the main evidence-based treatment approach for OCD. ERP includes a Response Prevention component which involves learning how to stop compulsions, and later in therapy the Exposure component involves gradually confronting triggers without engaging in compulsions.

I know how daunting it can be to ask for help when you are struggling, but therapy can also be a highly rewarding and empowering experience. I'm here to listen and to help you manage difficult feelings as we work towards your goals together. I work with a variety of clients, and focus on helping those who are struggling with major life transitions. Many of the clients I work with are pregnant, or in the postnatal period, or are dealing with the demands of early parenting. Others may have lost someone close, or are going through a divorce or experiencing family conflict. The good news is that therapy can help with these issues.

You have tools and skills to manage your symptoms and are pretty good at changing your thoughts about a situation, but your feelings are still “stuck”. You don’t like traditional talk therapy and want to explore some evidence-based experiential techniques instead. If this you, I would be able to assist you. For more information, please visit my website https:/www.innerharmonywellness.com.au. Currently, I am mostly offering Telehealth-based counselling; some in-person sessions for EMDR trauma re-processing sessions.
