You may have been struggling for some time. Something isn’t working and life could be better. You have probably tried all sorts of things on your own, but therapy can be a way for you to get a fresh perspective with the help of someone who has an expertise in mental health. I am a Clinical Psychologist who works with people experiencing low mood, anxiety, past trauma, chronic pain, other health conditions, OCD, relationship difficulties, and sleep problems, and those seeking therapy as a way to live a more meaningful life. Most of my clients experience improvements in symptoms after a course of therapy.

Overwhelmed? I have lived experience & extensive knowledge of the complexities of ADHD, Sensory Issues, Autism, disordered eating & chronic pain. My unique life with exposure to diversity and unexpected curveballs has shaped me into an insightful, reflective & understanding counsellor. My thirst for knowledge, hyper-focus skills and resolve to fight led to me seeking out my own answers surrounding my health. It paid off, & I hope it can now help you. I'm now mentored/supervised & trained by the MVPs in Neurodivergence & its heath complexities. I do not refuse vulnerable & complex clients; I used to be one.

Finding a therapist and starting the process of therapy can seem big and perhaps even overwhelming. I provide a supportive and collaborative therapeutic space to explore and unpack what it is you're facing. I am non-judgemental, warm and compassionate. I am experienced in supporting individuals around a range of issues, including life stress and transition, relationships, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. No problem too big or too small, as therapy can also provide a space simply to understand yourself more.

As a culturally responsive therapist, I understand the complexities of navigating different cultural identities, having grown up as a New Zealand-born Fijian Indian in Australia. I've experienced first-hand the frustration of seeking therapy that didn't address my cultural nuances. My goal is to offer a safe, representative, and empathetic space for all clients, regardless of their cultural backgrounds.
