Sexuality is multidimensional that engages all areas of life: mental, emotional, physical and social. Understanding the psychology and the culture through which sexuality is experienced is integral to finding well being and happiness. Shame, guilt, anxiety, as well as other psychological or medical conditions, can profoundly affect how we experience sexuality and deeply impact or attach itself to the complexities of our personal history and life experiences.

Do you experience challenging thoughts or behaviour patterns, overwhelming emotions, relationship issues, doubts around your self-worth or life direction that cause you concern? There are countless obstacles, internally and externally that prevent us from living the life we wish to. They may vary from compulsive or anxiety-driven behaviour, stress and anger, or may be felt as a sense of confusion and doubt, overwhelming pain, fear or grief . They could be due to unanticipated or undesired life circumstances or events or simply a general pervading sense of dissatisfaction and unhappiness. It is possible for life to be different.

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.

My practice is informed by a humanistic-existential approach, which means, I understand the complexity of individual intrapersonal and interpersonal experiences and believe that they are at the heart of our human experience. I believe we all have it within us to create meaning and purpose in our lives and this can only occur when we come to understand our lives are not something to overcome but rather something we must face with compassion and tenderness. I draw on evidence based modalities such as CBT, ACT, EFT, IFS, family systems, and Gottman approach to support and guide individual and couples therapy.

“I am so looking forward to getting to know you as a unique individual, and working together to create the life you wish for. I believe that creating sustainable change is only possible when working with people holistically. I have always cringed at traditional, clinical styles of therapy, so instead I am committed to treating you as a real person and working together to help you live your best life. I love it when people take a proactive approach to their mental health. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t appreciate how much of a privilege it is to get to know my clients and work together with them in a meaningful way"

My ideal client is a person who works in or around the education field, and is feeling challenged by the expectations and realities of their professional context.

Therapy can be a big step and decision and it is important that your therapist is someone you feel safe and supported by, that you are respected and so are your strengths and capacities. I work in a holistic and supportive way working with clients to heal, and achieve the outcomes that they choose.

When lingering or reoccurring issues arise they create within us a dissatisfaction about life and how we feel about ourselves. Issues such as relationship difficulties, addictions, career, life transitions, parenting, depression, anxiety, stress, body image, negative beliefs and thoughts, emotional overwhelm, aggression, low energy, impulsivity etc. can affect your self esteem and your ability to think clearly and solve problems effectively. Learning new skills, building on resilience and resources and dealing with past issues that affect your present life can be empowering and create satisfaction and fulfilment in your life.
