Often, the struggles we face in our daily lives, can start to feel like a pattern. Sometimes these patterns can be traced back to long ago. Do you find yourself reacting automatically in ways you don’t want to, or feeling hijacked by old wounds that resurface in the present? Counselling offers a space to slow down, understand these imprints from the past, and gently rewrite them. You don't have to stay stuck feeling this way, we’ll work on recognising your triggers, make sense of your experiences, and create new ways of relating that feel calmer, clearer, and more connected.
My approach is evidence-based and grounded in neuroscience, offering a clear framework for deep healing. Together, we explore how past experiences and present challenges shape relationship patterns and give rise to our inner critic. From this understanding, therapy helps to gently replace old learnings and build a stronger, more compassionate sense of self.
Whether you're seeking support individually or as a couple, you're not alone. I’m here to support you, help you heal and move forward in a way that feels right for you. I offer sessions face to face in Sydney's inner-west and online/phone sessions form the comfort of your home.

I have completed courses focused on attachment theory, neuroscience and memory reconsolidation. Neuroscience provides a framework for clients to understand the influence of past experiences and child-hood trauma, unlearn self-limiting thought patterns and unlock a new stronger self-concept.

For both teens and adults, talking to a counsellor can feel intimidating and unfamiliar. In our sessions, I focus on creating a warm, safe space where you feel comfortable. If you're open to it, I incorporate creative arts and experiential therapy into the process, helping you express yourself and explore your inner world in a gentle and meaningful way.
