I work with clients of all ages, from children through to adulthood. I enjoy working with individuals with complex mental health needs who need support to function in daily life. I also work with individuals who are trying to improve their wellbeing and make changes to get the best out of themselves or others. I have a relaxed and genuine approach with my clients, with an ability to build rapport and work in partnership with clients to meet their goals.

I have over 10 years of experience and a deep passion for helping people just like you. I will apply a strength-based approach, using only evidence-based therapeutic modalities, to suit your unique needs and empower you to transition successfully through your challenges. Whether you are facing relationship issues, challenging life transitions, cultural issues, professional dissatisfaction or other emotionally challenging life events, I can help you to become more aware of your strengths and assist you in engaging in successful coping styles and letting go of ones that are not serving you well.

I have practiced as a Clinical Psychologist for 12 years in both the private and public sector, and I have experience working with adolescents, adults and families. I understand that life rarely goes according to plan and can present many challenges that are often overwhelming. I am keen to help you understand the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that might contribute to the maintenance of these challenges, and in a safe and non-judgemental space, work collaboratively with you through your stresses, to help you overcome emotional barriers, and change behaviours that may be interfering with your overall well-being.

I am passionate about creating a safe and non-judgmental space, enabling clients to be their authentic selves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and skill-centered. I strongly believe in the importance of having an open and accepting mindset with regard to gender inclusivity and cultural diversity. I work with individuals of all ages including children, adolescents, and adults. I aim to help clients deal with life stressors and build coping skills.

As a supporter of neurodiverse teens and adults, I help them embrace their uniqueness, leverage their strengths, and develop strategies to meet their goals, particularly when managing the complexities of ADHD. This condition can exacerbate issues such as low mood, anxiety, relationship stress, emotional intensity, academic or professional struggles, and daily forgetfulness.

I have experience working in various roles within not-for-profit, private practice, and school settings with clients from all walks of life. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space where my clients feel valued and respected, and confident to share their experiences, thoughts and feelings. My approach is collaborative, non-judgemental, and person-centred. It's important to me that I take the time to get to know my clients and their needs, and work at a pace that is right for them.

I am committed to ensuring that all clients receive the highest standard of care and a positive experience of therapy. I have over 10 years experience and have worked in both the private and not for profit sector. I understand that many people feel nervous about attending counselling, so I ensure that we spend time in the first session discussing goals, motivations for attending therapy and outlining what they can expect from the sessions. I work from a client-centred approach, which means that therapy is guided by a clients’ individual goals and completely at their own pace.

Step into a nurturing therapeutic space where well-being thrives through kindness, collaboration, and accountability. I support a diverse range of adult clients in effectively addressing and managing various symptoms and challenges. Whether it's stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or relationship struggles, I am here to guide you on your path to improved mental health. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, providing you with a direct and candid style of therapy. If you seek meaningful growth and positive change I am here to work with you.

I believe every person deserves a safe space to be heard, understood and motivated to work towards their own strengths. I strive to uphold this in my own practice in providing every client with a space to discover the cause of mental health concerns, and collaboratively working on ways to overcome these. Each client is welcomed with an open mind and my aim is to help them work towards their individual goals for therapy. While each client is encouraged to grow through therapy, I do work with an understanding that each person is unique in the way they need to be supported and the pace at which they achieve their goals.

My main focus is for the people I work with to feel comfortable and secure while receiving high quality care and support. I have over 10 years of experience working with adults, adolescents and couples presenting with a range of issues in the private and community sectors. Each person I meet is unique and I take the time to get to know them and their own individual stories and experiences. The first session also includes establishing a clear outline so the client knows what to expect and can determine their goals for us to work towards at works at their own pace.

I am dedicated to creating a safe space for clients free from judgement. I believe it is important that each person feels heard, understood and supported during their therapeutic journey, and I endeavour to make this a reality. I also take time in the first session to establish goals and discuss expectations of therapy. Working from a client-centred approach means it is important to me that clients can select the focus of sessions at a pace that is right for them. This often involves collaboration in order to work through issues, discerning underlying difficulties for sustained change, finding meaning, or enhancing strengths.

I work from a strengths-based approach to support clients explore their concerns and establish goals to enhance their resilience. It is important that we work collaboratively in this process, which will assist me in tailoring my approach to your needs. I value the individual qualities each person holds and strive to create a non-judgemental and open space to address difficult topics.

Regardless of age, being a woman in today's world is complex. Workplace relations, career choices, relationships, families, ageing parents, domestic violence, menopause, ill health, ageing, loss, and too many responsibilities, can take their toll leaving many feeling drained, anxious, and down. When life's demands are onerous, it's easy to get stuck and lose sight of something better. I know the toll that tough challenges can take. I know the toll that women's conditioned ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving, can have on hope, faith, and trust in themselves. Being heard, fresh insights, and realisations change that.
