I believe that everybody can benefit from psychotherapy, from those who sense that things could be better than they are now to those suffering major life disruptions such as anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties and trauma, along with those seeking greater personal meaning and purpose. I have a special interest in chronic illness. Psychotherapy is a powerfully personal exploration of your unique patterns and beliefs. Entering into psychotherapy together, I work to provide an environment that supports you in seeking the insight you need to reduce your current emotional and physical suffering.

I empower people to make productive changes in their life. I work within the unique physical, mental, and emotional contexts of an individual, but pay particular attention to working through mental and emotional blocks that keep people from living a life full of health, vitality, and happiness. The core of what I do is reconnecting clients with their body so that they learn how to listen to their body and the wisdom it has to offer. We may not always like what we find there, but getting into our body transforms the way we relate to our mind, body, and the world.

When we trust ourselves, we trust Life. We know we are meant to be loving, caring, and compassionate beings, who courageously trust in the love and abundance of the Universe. However, Life happens, and there are times when we forget this and feel lost! Then it can be too hard to name confusion, pain, grief, and loss. Luckily, music can speak for us! Stress, anxiety, and the pressures and challenges of relationships, family, work, and daily life can feel overwhelming. So we reach out for help to find our way back to ourselves. We want clarity about our issues and a safe place to explore them. We want help!

Welcome. Life can be hard, messy and challenging for many reasons and we often become stuck in a negative space, trying the same strategies to ‘feel better’, only to find things often get worse. My aim is to help you get ‘unstuck’ and move towards a life that feels meaningful, purposeful, and aligns with what you value. I have worked with a diverse range of people and provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space to explore your experiences and improve your well-being. Clients I work with present with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, past trauma and addiction.

Successful counselling is based on the quality of the relationship between myself (the therapist) and you (the client). My approach is based on deep respect and non-judgemental acceptance for all people I work with. Utilising an element of creativity within therapy enables you to speak through art making, and reflection, because sometimes spoken words don’t exist for your experience. In my practice I offer counselling and arts therapy, professional supervision and coaching, and career development.

I have a special interest in providing longer term psychotherapy for those willing to commit to exploration of what is happening for them currently, how they have become the person they are, while considering what has happened in the past. The intention is toward better understanding and acceptance of one’s self, thus developing increased security and improved relationships with others. In particular I am interested in the nature of relationships, both in the present, and how these have been influenced by past events.

I'm amongst the most prolific mindfulness based therapists (ACT, CBT & DBT) in Australasia. I'm quoted as saying my expertise comes second, compassionate therapy begins with "validating the clients experience along with practical tools for change." Adult ADHD, giftedness, mindful therapy for substance abuse, grief, relationships, anxiety, depression, parenting... Clients want to heal and want to thrive. I believe we are all on a sliding wellness continuum, we need support from time to time. I am also deeply concerned by the number of people struggling to afford therapy - I have lowed my fee to assist in these difficult times.

Life can be challenging. At times, we can feel overwhelmed, lost, anxious, depressed, lonely – other times we might experience something painful and unexpected that really throws us off balance. Whether it’s for a short time or a long time, it can be profoundly helpful to have someone empathic and honest to talk to about what you are experiencing.

I offer both short-term counselling focusing on specific issues as well as longer-term psychotherapy. If you are frustrated with repeating old patterns of behaving and feeling and are searching for increased wellbeing, self-acceptance and resilience, psychotherapy can make a big difference to your life. Sharing your difficulties with a caring and effective listener can help you live more adventurously and feel more at ease in your own skin. I prefer to work collaboratively towards useful and achievable goals that you choose.
