How I Work

My approach is relational, thoughtful, and guided by genuine curiosity about each person I work with. I don't offer a one-size-fits-all model — instead, I draw on extensive clinical experience to meet you where you are and work at a pace that feels right for you.

My background includes significant experience working with trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I've worked with LGBTQIA+ clients through organisations including ACON and the Ankali Project, deepening my understanding of identity, community, and the complexity of human experience.

Who I Work With

I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds — including professionals in high-demand roles, those in creative fields, academia, and the mental health professions. What my clients share is not a particular circumstance, but a readiness to engage seriously with their inner lives.

Is Psychotherapy Right for You?

Psychotherapy is not only for moments of crisis. Many people come seeking a deeper understanding of themselves — to make sense of patterns that have persisted across relationships or careers, to process experiences that still carry weight, or to move through a significant life change with greater awareness and intention. Over time, good therapy can change the way you relate to yourself and others — expanding your emotional range, sharpening your self-awareness, and opening up ways of living that may not have felt available before.

Supporting LGBTQIA+ Clients

If you identify as LGBTQIA+, you'll find a space here that is genuinely affirming, informed, and free from assumption. I have extensive experience working with the particular challenges that can arise around identity, sexuality, relationships, and self-worth — and I bring both clinical expertise and real understanding to that work. Get in touch to explore how I might support you.

Psychotherapy vs. Counselling

Both involve working through emotional concerns in a confidential, supportive relationship — but they differ in scope and depth. Counselling typically addresses specific, present-focused concerns over a shorter time frame. Psychotherapy takes a longer view, attending to the underlying experiences and patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate.

The most suitable approach depends on what you're looking for — something we'll explore carefully in our first conversation, with no pressure to commit to a particular path before you're ready.

Signs You Might Benefit:

You might find yourself increasingly irritable or withdrawn, without a clear reason why. Relationships that once felt straightforward may have become a source of tension or distance. The drive and focus that have served you well professionally may be harder to access, or may feel strangely hollow. Sleep, drinking, or other habits may have shifted in ways you've noticed but not yet addressed.

Sometimes it's less specific than any of that — simply a feeling that you're moving through life on autopilot, or that something important is being left unexamined. That, too, is a perfectly good reason to reach out.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

People come to therapy with many different concerns. For some, it's the accumulated pressure of sustaining a demanding career alongside the expectations of a full personal life — relationships, family, identity, the sense that something isn't quite adding up despite outward success. For others, it's a specific rupture: a relationship in difficulty, a loss, a transition that has proven harder to navigate than expected.

Trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression are common reasons people seek support, as are questions of self-worth, purpose, and meaning. Burnout, workplace conflict, and the particular strain of high-performance environments are concerns I work with regularly. So too are the subtler things — a pattern of relating that keeps repeating, a feeling of disconnection that's hard to articulate, a sense that more is possible.

If you're uncertain whether therapy is right for you, or simply want to ask a few questions before committing, I'm very happy to have that conversation. Reach out here.

What to Expect

We'll begin with an initial consultation — a chance to discuss what's brought you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and whether we feel like a good fit. From there, the pace and shape of the work is determined collaboratively, with your goals and circumstances at the centre.

There is no fixed program or predetermined endpoint. Therapy unfolds at its own pace, and we'll revisit your goals as the work progresses.

Payment is accepted by EFT or card on the day of your session, or within 24 hours. I am a registered provider with Medibank, AHM, Bupa, and the Doctors' Health Fund. Please contact your insurer directly to confirm your level of cover and rebate entitlements.
