With a focus on exploring how early childhood experiences and unmet needs impact the way we function in our relationships, my passion is in working with people who are seeking to break dysfunctional family cycles and make changes that align with their values. Within the person-centered approach, I think it is essential to acknowledge the impact that societal stressors and generational trauma have on the individual. My aim is to help clients navigate the challenges of maintaining emotional wellbeing within a culture that often promotes isolation, burnout and disconnection from the self.

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 offer EMDR therapy (including via telehealth), supported by emotion-focussed, attachment, person-centred, strengths based and ego state therapeutic interventions.
I have a passion for working with clients to resolve trauma. Making sense of traumatic experiences, their effect on our mental health and relationships, and processing these safely, allows for us to be our most authentic and integrated self. I also work with individuals, parents and carers supporting their children or loved ones with acute mental health and traumatic experiences.

I believe therapy should be individually tailored for clients to work on the goals they identify as important. A non- judgemental and empathetic client centred approach is important and I endeavour to ensure the client feels supported and cared for within a safe space during our sessions together.
