Clients are taught to identify those, regulate, communicate, self-observe, adapt, engage, change. This builds confidence and resilience allowing for a translation of this new awareness and learnt skills for better relationships and well-being.

I believe every client has within him or herself the knowledge and ability to lead a happy fulfilled life. It is up to the therapist to help and guide the client toward their discovered goals, and suggest steps to be taken. The issues can be many, but the primary criterion is that the client must have is the desire for change of some kind, whether it be a lack of something, pain or suffering, and be willing to take the steps required to achieve this change.

I believe that everyone has their own unique story that is important and I am passionate about supporting people who come to see me to find their strengths and to build on their inner resources so that they can move forward into a deeper sense of connection, joy and meaning in their life. People who come to see me typically are looking for someone to listen deeply, to journey beside them as they make sense of their world and to work with them to locate tools and strategies for addressing what isn't working, so they can move through that and feel empowered to deal with life's challenges.

Are you struggling with how you feel? Do you find yourself anxious or worrying about the future? Are stress and burnout affecting you at work or home? When we're overwhelmed by worry, anxiety, or stress, it can be challenging to gain clarity. Engaging in therapy can provide new perspectives and strategies for better managing emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. Therapy can help you find direction, purpose and meaning, and support you through life's transitions. I specialise in burnout, stress and anxiety and also work with people living with chronic disease or disability, unpaid carers and people supported by the NDIS.

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
