I am a registered psychologist with a diverse range of experience. My approach is gentle, yet effective. It is grounded in evidence-based practices, including top-down approaches (cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, feminist therapy, and solutions-focused therapy) and bottom-up approaches (eye-movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems therapy, and clinical hypnosis). My clients have successfully addressed concerns including: trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse, grief, discrimination, gender dysphoria, low self-worth, self-harm, substance use, relationship and communication concerns.
I have a highly focused skillset to support clients coping with the effects of trauma. Trauma is anything that overwhelms your ability to cope. I also have specialized skills to support clients who identify as neither cisgender, nor heterosexual (including those experiencing gender dysphoria).
I am happy to offer an initial 25-minute phone consultation at no charge, to provide an opportunity learn more about my counselling style, and to get a sense of how we could work together. Please, do not hesitate to contact me to ask any questions you may have, or to set up an appointment. Email is best.
