The ideal person coming into see me are committing to change for themselves. I see their ideal goals are finding peace with their trauma, anxiety, depression, and etc. I see that they are looking for a calm place even if they have not experienced this in their life before.

Sometimes life can seem beautiful, exhilarating and filled with possibilities; at other times, all we feel is pain or disappointment. It can be hard to find joy and make meaning of it all, especially when we are deeply suffering. I am passionate about helping people like you, to find meaning, joy and a sense of empowerment in an otherwise complex and unpredictable life. Perhaps you are seeking to understand and shift the beliefs or behaviors that are negatively impacting you. Maybe you are seeking to heal trauma and enjoy greater freedom in life. Whatever the circumstances have brought you here, together we can find a better path.

I work with children and teens (5-17 yers) and families who feel like 'misfits', and who have not grown up 'normally'. I often find that behind these behaviours is a need and when that meet is not met these behaviours become bigger and it's harder to connect with the individual. Together we can sit down and as I listen to you we create a new narrative together and different story of who you are. Maybe this is you or your child and you feel lost, lonely, sad and depressed and no one to help, if this is you, then we have a chat and get you where you want to together.

I work with many clients who have experienced some form of trauma in their lives.
I am an experienced clinical psychologist and enjoy working with people who are experiencing broad range of issues. Stress, anxiety and depression are common experiences and for many people therapy gives them the tools to regain balance and a healthy approach to life.

At Strong Space, we recognise the unique challenges that men face when reaching out for support and make it a priority to create a safe, relatable and supportive environment for any man who has the courage to reach out for help.
Men are often taught not to reach out for help. You may have been made to believe that to seek help for yourself was to admit weakness or that it would make you a burden. Maybe you don't know where to start. But you've been thinking about getting professional support for some time now, that's why you are here. You know you need help, maybe because you're experiencing social anxiety or an overwhelming difficulty to get out of bed. You might no longer enjoy the things that used to make you happy, or you're having darker, more intrusive thoughts. It's starting to impact your relationships, your work & your physical health.

I have 15 plus years of experience supporting men in Defence, hospitals, the veteran's community and in private practice, and believe that gaining insight into your own experience can lead to new ways of living.
