It is important to build relationship & understanding in our counselling relationship.
Often when things become stuck in our lives, when there is repeated conflict or situations we don’t want anymore, we come to a point where we want something to change. Talking to a counsellor can help move these situations and unlock stuck patterns or behaviours and open up a new way of looking at the world and being. Sometimes the things we want to share can feel frightening to say out loud, and we fear the judgement that saying these things will bring – this, for me, is a huge part of the benefit of counselling and what it offers people.

Relationship doubts, anxiety, long held patterns of behaviours, substance use, grief, aspiration for relief from effects of childhood traumas.
I am a mindfulness based therapist, prolific throughout Australasia. My work uses ACT, CFT, RLT & DBT, but the key to my approach is appropriate validation, relational emphasis and healing the Inner Child that runs our lives. I believe that to draw breath is to have won the lottery, but to keep winning we have to be present within ourselves. We are all on a moving wellness spectrum, and support is a logical need. Ready to assist you with struggles through Adult ADHD, substance dependency, relationships, 'subclinical mental health issues' i.e. grief, anxiety, parenting, doubt, feeling stuck. I am a mindfulness coach & supervisor.

My clients are often driven entrepreneurs who appear to 'have it all together' externally yet internally they are struggling with negative emotions, conflicted thoughts and/or relationship difficulties.
I can deliver a scientifically validated technique that will dissolve limiting beliefs, neutralise fears, overcome stress and anxiety, and stop self-sabotaging behaviors in their tracks. This method is fast, easy and gentle while producing results that are long-term and often permanent.

I work with warmth, empathy, authenticity, and a genuine belief in the potential for growth. I practise collaboratively, honouring your needs and preferences.

I work especially well with clients navigating transitions — dealing with relationship or identity shifts, complex trauma or spiritual emergence.
I'm a psychodynamic therapist with a particular interest in clients navigating existential, intimacy, or psychospiritual / wairua / soul challenges. You might be struggling with feeling disconnected or less connected than you'd like—from others, your partner, life, or yourself. Maybe you're wrestling with meaning, identity, or intimacy; feeling stuck, numb, or like you're going through the motions; longing for a deeper experience of aliveness, purpose, or belonging. Sometimes clients come to me not necessarily in crisis, but with a sense that something's missing—and a desire to explore that in a safe, professional, attuned space.

We will build safety and trust together as we seek to acknowledge, understand, heal, and integrate what you have been through. I am passionate about supporting the diverse humans I work with to build resilience, cope, and process their experiences. I support my clients to live a life where their minds are a bit kinder to them.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
