Welcome...
Scheduling your free initial consultation..
There are many reasons why people choose counselling & psychotherapy. Depending on your situation and what you want to achieve, the frequency and duration of sessions may differ. Please book a free 15 minute session so we may discuss what brings you to me and I can guide you through the next steps to working with me.

A little more about me..
​
A long career as a paramedic set me on a path of healing which had many twists and turns. Part of this journey has seen me working as a meditation facilitator and counsellor. After ten years in private practice serving many clients with significant trauma, I decided to deepen my studies and I completed a Master's degree in Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy (JNI/ Torrens university) in 2021. The modality of therapy that fell in love with is called Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and I am a Level 1 trained IFSTherapist

If you are wondering why I refer to "we" , it is because I have a number of exceptional psychotherapists to whom I refer clients that may not be suited or able to work with me and I consider this network of people very much a part of my team. All this and more can be discussed when we have a chat over the phone,

What's it all about?
Psychotherapy is about deep personal growth and change. There is a certain healing power that happens in this space as we meet and talk. I bring a client centred approach to the work and view every session through a trauma informed lens and practice. Life issues I am most comfortable being with include (but not limited to):
- Anxiety and depression
- Alcohol & other substances
- Process addiction
-Grief & loss
- Trauma & tricky stuff
- Relationship issues
​
Don't wait for your life to hit that place of crisis before you reach me, there is so much that can be gained out of our sessions during times when life is good but perhaps you want some time and space for yourself just to BE with another person in a safe and confidential setting. This is your time and I am here to support your goals which we will discuss and design in our first few sessions.
