Emotionally Focused Counselling in Osborne Park, WA

I like to work in an honest environment where sessions are collaborative and unique to each client. I believe developing a strong therapeutic bond is important to progress and essential to a positive therapeutic experience where clients feel safe, heard, comfortable and confident in giving feedback. I am authentic, caring and friendly but am also direct when needed and not afraid to ask the hard questions, delve into difficult conversations or address the unconscious issues. I like to work across a range of areas such as depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship issues, ADHD and complex trauma.

My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship with you that will support you to be your best self. I firmly believe that success comes in many shapes and sizes and the road to success will often times be full of bumps, U-turns, and forks. How we navigate through these challenges is key – and I aim to support you in facing these challenges to get to your end goal. It’s important in this journey that we do not shy away from negative emotions – so we will work together to better understand these and acknowledge them and their role in our journey. I like to use a variety of therapeutic techniques in sessions, with the focus being you.

We all face those tough patches, grapple with our emotions, and sometimes end up feeling a bit lost in the chaos. That's where I come in – consider me your partner in navigating these challenges and finding your way to a brighter, more fulfilling life. Taking care of yourself isn't just about your mind – it's a package deal. That's why I'm a big advocate for a holistic approach to therapy. We'll not only dive into your thoughts and feelings but also give attention to your physical and social well-being. After all, you're a whole person, and your journey to healing should reflect that.

I believe it is important to work with clients - not dictate to them. My preferred treatment method is to focus on the areas that you want to work on. I believe a partnership not a prescription is important. Sticking to values means more than putting them on a website - it means actually living them. I am genuine, open and also have a sense of humour (though it is twisted/cynical/dark). I work best when clients feel comfortable, if that means we swear a lot in session - I am happy to make that sacrifice! I work clients across many areas from complex trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and workplace issues.

As a Clinical Psychologist I have experience working with a range of mental health issues, like depression and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, anger and stress management, difficulties with self-esteem and self-compassion, disordered eating habits, adjustment difficulties, chronic illness, sleep difficulties, trauma and work-related issues. I pride myself on establishing a strong therapeutic alliance with clients of all ages and enjoy working from a person-centred and psychodynamic approach.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Board-Approved Supervisor working in private practice. I work predominantly from a psychodynamic approach, helping patients develop a greater understanding of themselves and others, including relational dynamics and defence mechanisms. Through this deep exploration of themselves, patients can learn more about what holds them back and develop more helpful ways of responding. In addition to individual psychotherapy, I am also a Board-Approved Supervisor and have current availability for new supervisees.

As an endorsed counselling psychologist, I am trained in a number of therapies that allow me to effectively tailor treatment to the specific needs of my clients. I offer an affirming approach and am dedicated to supporting clients make long-lasting and meaningful change that feels worth the investment.
