I'm a counselling social worker employed through Geneva Wellbeing and also registered under the Sensitive Claims Contract (ACC). Unfortunately, I am not taking any more Sensitive Claims Clients on at the moment.
In addition, I'm a psychotherapy trainee through the Australian New Zealand Association for Psychotherapy, training in the Conversational Model. (ANZAP). This model is a psychodynamic therapy, which generally works well for people with complex trauma, borderline, and personality disorders.
I'm a registered social worker with a clinical focus on trauma, with particular interest and experience in developmental and relational trauma. I work with adolescents/adults, offering a trauma-informed, attachment-aware approach that supports healing, resilience, and meaningful change. My primary therapeutic orientation is psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Taking the first step can feel difficult, especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own. You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. This is a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported at your own pace. If you’re considering reaching out, I’d be glad to connect and see how we might work together to help you feel more.
