Philosophy & Vision
Welcome. We all seek therapy for different reasons. Perhaps you are facing difficulties, concerns, struggling, are stuck, overwhelmed, lost, disconnected. The timing may be ripe to seek therapy. Therapy provides a space for you to be heard, seen and understood and the opportunity to strengthen your relationship to self, others and your expression in the world. I trust in you and your innate capacity towards healing, growth and change. I believe therapy is a creative and meaningful process that can enhance self awareness and enrich quality of life.
I invite you to reach out. I will meet you where you are and at your pace. I welcome diversity including all cultural and relgious backgrounds.
Background

I am passionate about supporting individuals from all walks of life.

Therapy Approach
As an integrative and person centred psychotherapist, I practice in a humanistic, integrative, existential and trauma informed framework. My work is collaborative. I tailor a treatment plan to suit your individual needs. I offer short term and long term therapy for a wide range of concerns.
I do not see you as a diagnosis, however I do understand how that may be helpful for some. I consider complexity, lived experience and biopsychosociocultural perspectives.
I am trained in Gottman Couple's Therapy level 1, Sexual Difficulties and Focusing level 2. I am also a yoga teacher and trained in flamenco dance in Australia and Spain.
