therapy
For individuals and for couples
Individual counselling
I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore what matters to you. With a background in social work, family therapy, and yoga therapies, my approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and holistic. I combine evidence-based practices with personalised care, whether through talk therapy or incorporating body movement and breath awareness. My goal is to support your well-being, nurture your inner strength, and help you find balance as you work towards achieving your goals or finding resolution.
The ability to identify, understand and regulate our own emotions is the key to unlocking the mystery behind our feelings and moods, and better responding to the people and world around us. It’s also the secret to finding our own happiness.
Relationship Counselling.
As a relationship therapist I work with couples or family groups to better understand interpersonal dynamics, patterns and challenges and work towards building and maintaining healthy, fulfilling connections. My approach combines empathy with evidence-based family therapy practices to address communication issues, emotional complexities, and personal growth. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals and couples can explore and resolve their concerns. Whether you’re looking to enhance your relationship or navigate challenges, I’m here to offer guidance tailored to your unique needs, helping you foster stronger, more resilient bonds.
STUDY AND EXPERIENCE
As a registered social worker with a Bachelor of Social Work with First Class Honours and a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my practice and have been providing counselling services in the community for over 20 years.
My training spans various therapeutic modalities, including family systems therapy, psychodynamic therapy, brief therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, yoga therapy, trauma-sensitive yoga, and professional supervision. I am dedicated to continuous professional development and my own personal growth.
My academic background includes a degree in environmental science with a major in social studies, reflecting my passion for environmental and social regeneration. This passion informs my holistic approach to counselling, which considers the interconnectedness of individual well-being and environmental sustainability.
While I am equipped to address a wide range of issues, my extensive experience in leading a women's not-for-profit (Working Women’s Centre) for over 15 years has given me valuable insights into gendered workplace and personal issues, including domestic and family violence, sexual assault, and the impact of cultural and societal norms on women's self-worth and well-being. I believe in the importance of systemic change alongside personal growth, recognising that resolving internal conflicts and doing inner work is also essential for creating a world where all individuals can thrive.
I welcome all individuals and group configurations in my practice, including families, couples, communities, special interest groups, and workplaces (EAP).
Please note that while I no longer accept GP referrals through the Better Access Program, I am happy to collaborate with medical professionals, yoga teachers, and other allied health workers to support your holistic well-being journey.
