Philosophy & Vision
There are times when we find ourselves struggling with living. We may feel anxious, depressed or caught up in repetitive patterns of experience that make us feel defeated and stuck. We may apply various strategies that help with surface changes yet, still, there is no lasting shift in our sense of well-being.
Whether we need to heal from trauma or to learn to live creatively, working through our life challenges with a skilled therapist enables us to move towards a more fulfilling life.
Background
I have an extensive experience in working at public health agencies, as well as in private practice, with people of different ages and from various backgrounds on a wide range of issues. I worked as a sexual assault counsellor for about 13 years which lead me to develop a special interest in treatment of psychological trauma. As well as training in several modalities of psychotherapy, I have completed a specialist training to treat psychological trauma, including complex trauma, borderline personality disorder and depression. I engage in regular clinical supervision, professional development events and personal work (individual and group therapy) to continue enhancing my clinical skills.
Services
I'm passionate about helping people to live fuller lives through a deep understanding of underlying causes of their suffering and difficulties in living. I aim to provide a safe therapeutic relationship where your traumas can be resolved and personal answers to your life challenges worked out. As well as commitment to your emotional well-being, I offer my extensive clinical skills and expertise in a wide range of mental health issues developed over 25 years of work as a psychotherapist.
Quality Provision

Ongoing professional and personal development.
Current clinical membership of professional bodies (PACFA, ANZAP, IARPP, GANZ).

Therapy Approach
I have trained in a number of psychotherapy modalities so I can be flexible in my clinical approach. I make a point of matching the style of my work to each individual and their needs, rather than imposing a particular clinical approach on them. I support my clients in creatively exploring whatever issues they bring to therapy at their pace and working out solutions to their life difficulties that suit their individual circumstances.
I'm careful to approach any potentially traumatic experiences gradually so I focus on helping people develop emotional resources that enable them to face difficult issues without becoming overwhelmed. I see psychotherapy as a vehicle of healing and growth that enables us to realize our human potential.
