If you're dealing with relationship issues, narcissistic abuse or associated trauma, I can help. Has your relationship been feeling like a game but you didn't get a copy of the rulebook? Or has it been like a rollercoaster ride? Are you trying to decide if you should stay or leave but don't know where to draw the line?

I'm a clinical psychologist who works with all groups (18+) on a diverse range of mental health issues, I have a particular interest in trauma, grief, relationship issues, depression, life transitions (such as separation), personality disorders (such as helping individuals who are struggling with borderline personality disorder traits or helping people manage difficult relationship with individuals with narcissistic traits or helping individuals who have suffered narcissistic abuse), multicultural / culturally and linguistically diverse populations, and helping people who are struggling with sexual difficulties or dysfunction.

As a counsellor and psychotherapist, my vision is to create an alternative, holistic approach to healing by incorporating a combination of evidence-based talk therapy with practice-based interventions - the cornerstone for gold standard treatment for trauma and other mental health issues. As we adapt to the demands of a competitive society, the escalating high costs of living, and increased societal division through gender violence, our relationships with self and others become vulnerable. We have less time available to cultivate healthy relationships for ourselves and others which prevents us from living a full and happy life.

Does this sound familiar? You have struggled with mental health and self-worth issues your whole life. You have done ALL of the things, psychologist, mental health care plan, juice cleanses, reiki, every self-help book on offer... you are a seeker, a searcher. And although it all somewhat helped, you are consistently deflated & disappointed. You crave peace, calm and meaning. Just a taste, of freedom. I have been there brave one. I too am a seeker, a searcher. Begging the cosmos to tell me "what is wrong with me?"..

I have worked across several programs with young people, families, women and men.

Life doesn't always go as we plan. We can end up experiencing relationship struggles or abuse, find it difficult to get past grief and loss, find ourselves relying on substances or other addictive behaviours to get by. We may experience depression or anxiety, or wake up one morning and realise that for whatever reason, things that used to work for us are just not working anymore. We may feel exhausted or empty or disappointed and not really know why. Whether you are battling a long term problem or experiencing a new and unexpected struggle, we can support and equip you through empathetic and confidential counselling.

You are frustrated that things are not going the way you had hoped or planned, and you aren't sure why?
