LGBTQ+ Affirming Counsellors in Brisbane City, QLD

I am clinical psychologist and work with anxiety disorders, depression, addictions, trauma and relationships. My therapeutic approach uses CBT, ACT and mindfulness for letting go of unhelpful thoughts, being present with difficult emotions and connecting to your values; the things that really matter to you.

Can you relate to either of these statements? “I’m so over hurtful relationships. I’m starting to think I’ll be single forever” "We can’t keep fighting like this. If something doesn’t change we’re headed for a breakup” If you can relate to the pain of struggling in a relationship, you’re not alone. If you’re an individual in relationship pain, I can help you overcome your past relationship hurts, understand your blocks to intimacy, and help you create a successful long-term relationship. If you’re a couple, I can help you resolve long-standing issues and rebuild the loving, intimate and harmonious relationship you once had.

Sometimes, clients don't really know what they want when they come to therapy, and I make every effort to help them find out. Besides helping with their struggles with relationships and symptoms, I believe that they truly want to be understood, and to be accompanied as they explore their emotional pain. Most of the time, I find that my clients want to reflect on themselves, and need my support to face up to their emotional pain and dilemmas. They might want to know my thoughts about their struggles, so that it triggers their own new thoughts about themselves.

I am a clinical psychologist who predominantly works with young adults, adults, clients from diverse cultural/linguistic/ethnic backgrounds, and individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community. I have an interest in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and/or abuse. Through the collaborative process of therapy, you'll learn to identify your triggers, establish a sense of safety, reduce PTSD symptoms through trauma processing techniques, learn effective coping strategies, and work towards an improved quality of life beyond the trauma. I also work with a broad range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, attachment styles etc.

I am a warm, open minded and respectful Clinical Psychologist with 15 years experience. I have a special interest in couples and relationship therapy, utilising evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help people improve communication and increase physical and emotional intimacy. I work with people from the LGBTQIA+ community and also with diverse relationship structures (such as consensual/ethical non-monogamy (ENM/CNM) including polyamory, swinging, kink). I am neuroaffirming and trauma informed in my approach and welcome NDIS funded clients.

I believe people come to therapy when they are stuck, and desire change, and my theory as to this stuckness is that old ways of being with themselves or others are now not working. I have a deep passion for supporting those during such difficult or transitional moments in their life by offering a non-judgemental space and a genuine relationship built on mutual respect. My hope for you is that we can use these conditions to curiously explore and compassionately understand your concerns to find the change you seek. In its simplest form, my style is person-centered, emotionally driven talk therapy.

I apply an integrative approach of evidence-based interventions including CBT, ACT, EFT, NT and SFT. I have a special interest in Mindfulness, Music-Assisted Therapy, Animal-Assisted Therapy, Feminist Psychology and working with girls and women. I work with many adults seeking ADHD & Autism Assessment & coaching.

Many of my clients are men, couples, or LGBTQIA+ people. I have an interest in helping people manage anxiety, anger, shame, grief, and other personal struggles.

I have a strong interest in cultivating culturally responsive and accessible practices in my work and in the wider mental health industry. I focus on cultivating strong therapeutic relationships with clients from different age groups, cultural and neurodivergent backgrounds through using collaborative intersectional frameworks and maintaining authenticity, empathy, and curiosity in the counselling space with a focus on CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy and more, using multiple modalities as and when needed by my clients.

We are all constantly evolving and this can present difficult challenges, often impacted by family, social and cultural conditioning, religious and gender-based beliefs, roles, and biases. You might want to challenge this conditioning and these constraints. Understanding this within ourself, our relationships, and our families can be complex. You might realise that your sexual, relationship, and gender identities and preferences may be different from societal expectations, so you may struggle internally to accept who you are and your ability to live authentically. We need safe and appropriate support to navigate these changes.

As a holistic, relational, gestalt therapist, my approach is grounded in the present moment, non-pathologising, inclusive and trauma-informed. Through the lens of anti-oppressive practice, I prioritise creating a therapeutic space where all the parts of you are considered, held and deeply respected. In sessions, your healing, growth, and increasing self-awareness is what we co-create in this space. I can support you in connecting with your inner experiences to empower you to make meaningful changes in your life and make deeper connections to yourself, others, and the wider environment.
