Anxiety Counselling in Subiaco, WA

The stories we tell about current events and memories of past episodes in our lives profoundly impact on us and our loved ones. Are you feeling distressed, anxious or traumatised by historical or recent experiences? I can help you alleviate, transcend or transform these symptoms, and reclaim psycho-social and emotional well-being. Good therapy relies upon us forming sufficient mutual trust and compassion to discuss and interpret personal matters. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you revise retellings of it that firm your resolve to follow your preferred path towards life with less distress, or completely free of it.

I'm clinical psychologist and active researcher (Curtin University & University of Western Australia) in the areas of emotion, emotion regulation, and alexithymia. I enjoy working with people to help them achieve their goals and live more fulfilling lives. My work often focuses on helping people to better understand, process, and manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. This can be in terms of addressing mental health difficulties (e.g., depression, anxiety ) or for personal development.

Therapy can be beneficial when something has challenged our usual ways of coping or because of an awareness that something in our lives doesn't feel right. Triggers might include anxiety , anger or low mood, illness such as cancer or a heart condition, increased stress, relationship problems, bereavement, or a life transition. You might be looking for emotional support as well as a "road map" and some "navigational skills" to help find the best path for you.

My clinic provides a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment where you or your child/teen feels comfortable working through their emotions, thoughts, and experiences.

My practice involves psychology sessions with children, teenagers and young women, outside of the clinical setting - also known as Walk and Talk Psychology. Walk and talk counselling is offered in playgrounds or whilst walking along the beach or foreshore.

I believe it is important to work with clients - not dictate to them. My preferred treatment method is to focus on the areas that you want to work on. I believe a partnership not a prescription is important. Sticking to values means more than putting them on a website - it means actually living them. I am genuine, open and also have a sense of humour (though it is twisted/cynical/dark). I work clients across many areas from complex trauma, relationship issues, substance dependence, anxiety , depression and workplace issues. If I can't help you I will make sure you are linked in with someone who can so you don't get the run around.
