I work with clients across a range of ages over 16 years taking a full health and non-pathologising approach. I mostly work with clients; experiencing anxiety, late diagnosis neurodiversity, particularly ADHD and AuADHD female-assigned-at-birth, co-parenting arrangements, divorce, career changes, conflict resolution, task switching, organisation skills and communication. Most of the clients I work with are hoping to bring more balance and fulfilment to their lives through improving relationships with others, themselves and making the most of their time.

I also work with relationship difficulties, divorce, life adjustment and medical conditions.
As a psychologist, I feel privileged, to observe & work with the difficult life experiences, which lead individuals to engage in therapy. I believe that therapy is a form of self-exploration & learning. In sessions, I use safe, containing ways to help clients process their thoughts and feelings, gaining insight and understanding, so that they can navigate the world around them, with a sense of confidence, purpose and hope. I help clients develop skills to manage their discomfort, pain, uncertainty and fear, to facilitate change in their lives and improve their overall sense of well-being.

I work with clients with a broad range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, personality disorders, addiction, self-harm and emotional/nervous system regulation and interpersonal challenges such as separation, divorce and co-parenting. A special interest of mine is working with people who don’t necessarily have a mental health condition but are experiencing feeling disconnected from their desires, needs and vitality.

I am qualified and registered psychotherapist working in private practice in St Kilda East and online. My approach is grounded in a humanistic, person-centred and existential framework. I see suffering as an inherent and unavoidable part of the human experience. As painful as it is to suffer, I firmly believe that it is when we stop and confront our pain, problems or issues that growth happens, relief ensues and beauty emerges.

Life doesn't come with a user's guide and all of us struggle at times. In looking for a therapist you have taken a step toward finding greater ease in your life. Psychotherapy is about building a greater awareness and understanding of your patterns in life. This allows you to find a sense of spaciousness where, rather than act reactively, you can make more conscious choices and cultivate a stronger sense of self. If you find yourself often feeling anxious or depressed, held back by past traumas, not living the life you want, or lacking direction, then psychotherapy can offer you the change you need.

Divorce Counsellors

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?

Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?

There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?

When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
