In Person Counselling in Coolamon, NSW

I am a registered psychologist in rural NSW. I work with adults living with eating disorders, experiencing acute and chronic injuries, chronic illness, psychological distress and diagnoses (particularly trauma and personality disorders). Using a collaborative treatment approach I work with my clients to identify their needs, set goals and reach individualised treatment outcomes in order to improve quality of life and reduce distressing symptoms.

I offer a safe and nurturing space to explore and attend to the challenges you may be experiencing. We can focus on the challenges of processing past experiences, the challenge of present situations, the challenges of relationships or the challenge of better understanding the big questions, 'why am I here', 'what is my purpose'. I offer in person, phone or online sessions. I work with individuals and couples, and am a trained Gottman relationships counsellor.

To offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space for clients to freely express and explore their truth is my passion and purpose in life. One of my favourite quotes which guides my practice is by Bessel van der Kolk who states: "Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives." - Bessel Van Der Kolk. Through the many forms of listening, I am able to enter into the world of my client and walk alongside them as they explore, express and empower themselves to navigate the challenges in their life.
