I am inspired by the work of Carl Jung, Gabor Mate, Richard Schwartz, Bessel van der Kolk, and Peter Levine.
My spiritual practice is yoga, meditation and kindness. ​​
PACFA Reg.Certified Practising 30488
I work holistically, bringing a mix of modalities and techniques to sessions. I have a degree in psychology and a postgrad in Gestalt psychotherapy, and also have qualifications in massage, reiki, yoga and meditation. This beautiful mix has given me an extraordinary appreciation of the delicate balance between the mind, body and spirit. For the last 8 years I have worked therapeutically in the community services sector which has given me a plethora of experience and skills.
I work with children, teenagers, adults and families living with a diverse range of mood, mental health and behavioural issues. I help parents and families dealing with the behavioural and emotional challenges associated with ADHD and autism diagnoses, and maladaptive online and gaming behaviours. I use a mix of CBT, somatic, and gestalt therapies for a well rounded, practical base for relationship and personal change.
​
I have been through my own healing journey and love supporting others though their own inner-child and shadow work, reintegrating those vulnerable younger versions of themselves and giving old patterns and stories new meanings. Somatic experiencing beautifully complements the Gestalt-style approach I bring to individual sessions, making for deep healing and long-lasting change.
I also have a long personal history of loving family members going through their own addictions and mental health issues and understand the anguish and damage this can have on individuals as well as family relationships.
If you feel some resonance and are ready to explore, integrate, heal and grow, then I'd be honoured to accompany you on your journey.
