Counselling in Greater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC
We can all face difficulties like anxiety, stress and depression at one time or another and sometimes we need help to navigate these times. I specialise in working with adolescents and adults who have experienced grief and loss, PTSD, attachment/childhood trauma and intergenerational trauma. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and safe. We work out your goals and a pathway toward them together. I invite you to take a step and reach out. I am happy to have an obligation-free talk to see if I can meet your needs before you book a session.

I work with adults and adolescents who want to stop repeating old patterns in their life and relationships. You're the one who is always there for others, but find it difficult to accept help in return. Your friends and loved ones reassure you, but you're plagued with a feeling that you don't really have much to offer. Self-doubt holds you back, and a constant battle with your inner critic leaves you exhausted. You've already worked really hard to try and make changes in your life, but frustratingly, your problems return and you keep struggling with feelings of emptiness and unfulfillment.

I am a registered clinical psychologist and approach therapy by working with you to build a collaborative and affirming relationship that provides the foundation for meaningful life change by supporting open, explorative and relational processes. My focus is on therapy that deepens understanding, connects with inner experiences, makes sense of the past and brings to awareness unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour. Together we will enhance your strengths and celebrate your courageous moments as you become empowered to assert mastery over problems, and redefine the relationship you have with yourself, others and the world.
