My clients are often grappling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or PTSD. They seek relief from emotional pain, a sense of normalcy, and improved quality of life. Their needs include a safe space to express themselves, coping strategies, and healing from past wounds. Their goals are to regain control of their emotions, build resilience, and find inner peace, ultimately wanting a fulfilling life free from the burdens of their mental health challenges. They seek support because they deserve to live a life where compassion, connection and calm prevail.

I believe every client has within him or herself the knowledge and ability to lead a happy fulfilled life. It is up to the therapist to help and guide the client toward their discovered goals, and suggest steps to be taken. The issues can be many, but the primary criterion is that the client must have is the desire for change of some kind, whether it be a lack of something, pain or suffering, and be willing to take the steps required to achieve this change.

I enjoy supporting people who are becoming aware of aspects of their lives that aren't working anymore and are ready to change things :) I feel very passionate about supporting teenagers who need encouragement to be themselves. I also have a lot to provide to migrants and people who live away from their families. Helping people to understand why we feel anxious and depressed, why we may have compulsions, overeat or restrict our food, etc. are crucial aspects of my job, that I love. Becoming aware of why we experience these symptoms is the first step to change them, which we will do too.

If you were my client, I would work with you with the attitude that you are the expert in YOU. I would work to help you to unlock the answers that you need. My job is to help you to understand the patterns of behaviours that are tripping you up in life. I come from a non judgmental position, showing empathy and warmth, enabling you to hear your own voice. Often trauma, or things that have been ones a survival reaction become a stumbling block, our own inner critical voice can keep us from trusting ourselves. My intention is to help you capture your needs and like a caterpillar learn how to fly like a butterfly.

Are you struggling with how you feel? Do you find yourself anxious or worrying about the future? Are stress and burnout affecting you at work or home? When we're overwhelmed by worry, anxiety, or stress, it can be challenging to gain clarity. Engaging in therapy can provide new perspectives and strategies for better managing emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. Therapy can help you find direction, purpose and meaning, and support you through life's transitions. I specialise in burnout, stress and anxiety and also work with people living with chronic disease or disability, unpaid carers and people supported by the NDIS.
