I'm a registered integrative psychotherapist working with individuals and couples to find other ways of being that bring ease, connection and lead to a more fulfilling life. Whether you're facing particular challenges like anxiety, childhood trauma, low mood, grief or loss, want more enriching relationships, or seeking deeper self-understanding and self-awareness, psychotherapy can be a supportive and powerful tool. I have specific interest and deep understanding in working with clients with childhood trauma, experiencing anxiety and burnout and navigating life transitions in professional and personal life.

If someone feels they cannot be themselves things might become tricky. Things hinder moving forward, more unhelpful patterns continue and daily life may become hard. How can creative therapy assist people in getting to know themself and how to grow into potential and feel better? Imagine if it was ok to be them/you and feel ok! What if they/you started to love themselves/yourself? Going about daily life at least feeling slightly ok in the world. Because life can sometimes be better! Be you, be me, self-acceptance is the key.

I have 20 years experience with complex mental health issues across the age spectrum. I offer a kind, empathetic service to families and individuals using my skills as a family therapist and mental health clinician. I welcome individuals and families who represent marginalised communities, (neurodiverse, LGBTQIA, culturally diverse, and anyone who has ever been “othered”) and provide a service that is inclusive and affirming whilst utilising an anti racist and decolonized lens.

Hello. If you’re searching for a new and effective way of coping with stress, burnout, anxiety or complex trauma recovery, third-wave psychology might be the secret ingredient you’re looking for (mindfulness combined with traditional talk therapy). Maybe you’re suffering the horrible confusion and pain of narcissistic abuse or bullying. I can help. I have lived experience and in-depth understanding of what you’re going through. I’ve published a book, a podcast, blog and recently a short article in Australian Counselling Journal.

Noticing that we are slipping and finally in need of help can take many years. Equally, distress may be triggered overnight by a major life event, a traumatic experience or a recent psychiatric diagnosis. Signs of adverse mental health may be subtle or obvious. If you are here, you are possibly exploring the idea of counselling for yourself or a loved one. I encourage individuals to tune into the biological, social and emotional processes influencing their current mental state, manage states of distress and be guided by their core values in order to live a rich, full and meaningful life. I work with clients aged 15 and up.
