A warm, non-judgemental approach to understanding yourself, your patterns and how to influence them
We can all become stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. Patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviours that keep us stuck and get in the way of living a satisfying life. These patterns may get in the way of relationships, career, health and wellbeing. You may notice a lack of fulfilment and may be struggling to understand how to change this.
I am a Psychologist registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). I provide evidence based treatment tailored to the needs of the individual. Working primarily with adults, I have a special interest in working with trauma.
My approach is collaborative, endeavouring to meet clients with kindness, warmth, and a non-judgemental approach. I am person-centred aiming to understand the client's world from their unique perspective.
My therapy approach is informed by several modalities including:
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Schema Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Attachment theories
I have experience working with a range of difficulties including:
Emotional dysregulation; which relates to experiencing intense emotions that may be difficult to understand, identify and communicate
Depression
Anxiety (including Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Phobias)
Trauma
Anger management
Stress and adjustment difficulties (including life transitions such as becoming a parent)
Attachment/relational difficulties (for example; difficulties setting boundaries or feeling secure in relationships)
LGBTQIA mental health
Self-harm
Addiction
Low self esteem
Grief and loss
I offer both face to face sessions and Telehealth (video) sessions.
