My main focus is for the people I work with to feel comfortable and secure while receiving high quality care and support. I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, adolescents and couples presenting with a range of issues in the private and community sectors. Each person I meet is unique and I take the time to get to know them and their own individual stories and experiences. The first session also includes establishing a clear outline so the client knows what to expect and can determine their goals for us to work towards at works at their own pace.

I am a Clinical Psychology Registrar with 10+ years experience providing therapy across the lifespan and specialist interest and experience in working with clients who have experienced trauma, and families navigating pregnancy through to parenting. Life can be bumpy and unpredictable sometimes, especially during times of transitions and changes. Therapy can be a confidential and non-judgemental space for you to be deeply heard and understood, helping you come to know yourself and make sense of your experiences and relationships to find paths forward that are meaningful to you.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I focus on understanding the individual experience of each client. This includes working together to build trust and an understanding of what you are going through, what matters to you and your priorities for positive change. Therapy can then be tailored to address your needs within your individual circumstances for moving forward and coping well in your life.

I work with highly sensitive people who struggle with intense emotions and their aftermath. Sometimes they may feel like they are feeling everything, all at once, at other times nothing at all. They may have experienced a big trauma, or lots of little ones. My clients come to learn how to navigate the emotional highs and lows, be a better friend and partner (and find better friends and partners) and overcome their difficulties to build a life that is meaningful and rich to them. I work with adolescents and their families and adults of all ages. I also work with carers (family and friends) of people with mental health challenges.

Hi there. I want you to take a deep breath in- hold- and an even longer breath out now. Well done on finding your way here. If you have done therapy before -welcome back! If its your first time, I admire your courage. Id love to say therapy is easy- but its not. It may very well be one of the hardest things you do in your life. BUT it might be a little easier than the struggle you have been living with so far. You might have come here feeling broken, I get that, but perhaps it is that you are actually stuck. My belief is that effective therapy is largely based on human relationships, so we will start by getting to know each other.

I offer a nonjudgmental, compassionate and kind space encouraging reflection, exploration and acceptance of all parts of the self. I work creatively integrating body, mind and emotion in ways that support each unique person. It is a collaborative journey, much like a pilgrimage. I walk alongside; but the path, the choices, the wisdom are ultimately yours.
