Online Counselling for Victoria

PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT OFFER MEDICARE REBATE SESSIONS. Life can feel like a roller coaster at times. You want to take charge of your life, but you don't know where to start. Panic, anxiety, or numbness takes over your life, and you feel that no one can understand you. You either get angry or shut down, neither of which helps you get where you need to be. By working with me, you will gain a greater understanding and awareness of your experiences and your emotions. I will help you be the driver of your life, together we will untangle the stuff that holds you back, and keeps you stuck, and feeling helpless.

Do you feel that something is missing but can't quite figure out what it is? Do you struggle in getting your emotional needs met in relationships? Struggling to define boundaries, repeating the same old patterns over and over again? There's a reason for what's going on, and together we'll figure out what's blocking you to gain clarity and confidence to help turn things around. I offer comprehensive therapy which can help provide insight into these patterns, helping you to transform and taking your life back.

It’s my greatest passion to help people overcome anxiety, depression and life challenges through a combination of counselling and yoga. I have been practicing yoga for over 35 years, became a certified yoga teacher 7 years ago.I am currently working as a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner and Counsellor. I am a Certified Counsellor with PACFA, a RYT Certified Yoga Teacher and VADR Certified Family Practitioner. I have extensive experience working with people struggling with depression and anxiety, addictions, people experiencing family violence within a trauma informed approach.

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 specialise in helping shift problematic thoughts, intense feelings, lack of motivation, unwanted behaviours and habits. I work with trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions and have interest in perinatal mental health, indigenous health, meditation, dealing with loss, grief and death.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist with experience working in metropolitan and rural areas of Australia and overseas, with culturally and ethnically diverse clients, and with a broad range of mental health issues. I'm passionate about helping clients to start living their best possible life and to reach their potential by identifying and working through their emotions, vulnerabilities, and mental illness.

I have 19 years’ experience as a clinical psychologist working with clients across a broad range of issues in hospitals, community settings, private practice and primary care. I also like running group sessions and developing therapeutic programs to sustain positive outcomes. My aim is that while working together you feel supported to achieve long-lasting positive change becoming more confident at understanding yourself and other people, managing your emotions and making thought-out well-balanced choices.

In my Counselling practice, I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and supportive environment to allow you to explore what is concerning in your life. When you are faced with uncertainties or unexpected situation, it seems as if nothing at that moment can relieve you of stress, anxiety, depression, panic or fear. You may feel helpless or in despair. I know all too well what those feelings are like. Sometimes its sadness; sometimes its anger; sometimes its sorrow; sometimes its regret; sometimes its self-pity and then ’Why me?’ syndrome sets in. Whatever feelings you may be experiencing, remember, there is a way out.
