A great first step is to change your thoughts to be more positive, compassionate and helpful. Next we work to get your feelings to match your new way of thinking. If past experiences have led you to behave, automatically in a way that does not match who you really want to be, I can help. Using EMDR and other evidence-based techniques I collaborate with you and guide you to reduce the flash-backs; remove triggers; grow your strengths and turn those difficult events turn into distant memories. There is space in sessions for you to learn, to share, to cry and to laugh - and start your journey to being you.

“This isn’t how I thought my life would turn out.” “This isn’t where I want to be!” When we’re feeling stuck or lost in our life circumstances, it can seem overwhelming and never ending. We feel alone. We can spend our days constantly thinking about what’s gone wrong, and our nights unable to sleep with all the worry. Each day becomes the same as the day before, There seems no end to it, no future without these dark thoughts. Making it harder is the fact that no one understands what we’re going through. No one knows how anxiety, hopelessness or dread can engulf us.

Are you struggling with your relationship? Having issues with: communication as you don’t feel like you’re on the same page, conflict resolution - as nothing seems to get resolved, feel like you’ve lost the intimacy and closeness, and you no longer trust one another, are you struggling with sex, finances, house responsibilities, parenting or in-laws? You've tried everything you can think of, but nothing seems to change. The love is still there and you want the relationship to work, you're just not sure how to go about it.

Life's for sure, a roller coaster. Along with the ups, there will naturally be downs - illness, pain, worry, conflict, transitions and loss. Sometimes we can hang on for the ride and who will be in the seat beside us; at other times, we may feel pummelled, adrift or even alone in our experience. Being heard, seen, and validated can begin a process of deep understanding and change. I am a degree-qualified Therapist and eating disorder clinician who's passionate about providing ethical and evidence-based support to all clients, no matter their concerns. You might like to see me in my CBD or Petersham rooms.
