About

I am a Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Educator, accredited with PACFA, with extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families.

I work with a wide range of presentations, including anxiety, depression, trauma and developmental trauma, relationship difficulties, and questions of meaning, identity, and life satisfaction.

My approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy and guided by trauma-informed practice. I understand that people can become profoundly stuck and caught in patterns that no longer serve them, yet unsure how to move forward. My intention for every client is that they come to experience a genuine sense of agency, satisfaction, and meaning in their lives.

I have witnessed, time and again, the remarkable capacity people hold to move beyond their struggles, often in ways they couldn't have imagined before seeking support. I have a great interest in, and draw on, contemporary evidence-based therapeutic approaches, bringing knowledge and skills that represent best practice into my work.

Seeking support is an intentional and courageous act toward change. Engaging with a skilled, attuned therapist can be genuinely pivotal in a person's life. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people at those moments of vulnerability and need.
