My approach to therapy is to create a reflective and non-judgemental space, in which I collaborate with my clients to make meaningful connections in terms of their life patterns and build insight into how these developed from early experiences. I like to use a warm and curious therapeutic style to gain an intimate understanding of them as a person and their life story. Throughout this process, I incorporate evidence-based practice to support clients in pursuit of their therapeutic goals in addition to deeper self-understanding.

Mental health can look different for every individual. My role as a psychologist largely involves assisting clients to develop emotional resilience, as well as promoting healthy behaviour change. This results in clients living a more fulfilling life, regardless of what their current and or future circumstances present. Being able to accurately assess and treat clients in a supportive environment is central to my practice. Due to the nature of my psychology training, as well as my personal experience growing up as a 1.5 generation Korean/Asian in New Zealand and Australia, cultural responsivity is also a particular interest of mine.

I am super passionate about my work as a Counsellor after many years of working in the corporate world left me searching for a more fulfilling and meaningful career. I find that so many of my clients echo this search – in addition to wanting to address their day-to-day life struggles – they are searching for something more. And this is where I love to be, fully attentive, empathising with my clients but most of all working alongside them to explore ways of improving all aspects of their lives, be that work, relationships, childhood attachment wounds or trauma.

The key to successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship you and I develop over time. I know that you need to be seen, heard, validated and be able to trust me so I can provide you a safe trauma-informed care and practice. This model focuses on providing you with a safe space to explore and understand your life. I ask 'What happened to you?' and I bear witness to your story. I am an Accredited EMDR Practitioner (Consultant in training), Internal Family Systems Therapist (Level 2-Addictions), and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (in training Advanced). I have also been a Program Assistant on IFSI trainings in Australia.

Many of us were raised with the notion that experiencing psychological, emotional or relationship difficulties meant that we were somehow broken; or that seeking help is a sign of weakness. I don’t subscribe to this belief. Reaching out is brave, and I am yet to talk to a person that hasn’t had their share of personal challenges. You are not broken, you are human; and therapy is not about fixing, it’s about healing.

I truly believe that every woman already has an innate strength and resilience - my purpose is to help them access it and show them everything that is possible when they embrace their anxiety instead of fighting it or avoiding it.
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stressed or struggling with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and lacking boundaries? Do you tend to overthink and plan out everything in your life, and to self-isolate and avoid certain situations? Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Now more than ever, people are anxious, self-sabotaging and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your anxiety and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldnʼt be so hard to live a calm, confident life.
