Philosophy & Vision
'Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional'. I offer a supportive, safe, non-judgmental and confidential place for you to explore issues that might be difficult to discuss with family or friends.
I specialise mainly in life issues, relational issues, transitions, crisis, depression and short online training courses for clients, trainee counsellors and other health professionals.
Background
I'm nationally registered and endorsed with the title of an Existential Psychotherapist. The University training I've completed includes a Master degree in Existential Psychotherapy, Graduate Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Health.
Services
I've been seeing psychotherapy clients consistently for the last 24 years. This approach is based on assisting individuals to explore their current difficulties in depth and to experience greater fulfilment in their lives.

Therapy Approach
Together, we tend to address your life themes and struggles rather than your psyche or your character. It's more about asking yourself whats really important and then having the courage to explore HOW to build your life around the answer.
My method of practice is based upon the existential tradition, which takes a philosophical approach to psychotherapy and counselling. It tends to clarify your understanding of yourself and your life circumstances. It may also assist you through a specific life struggle in becoming better at handling difficult relationships/situations.
