Philosophy & Vision
The relationship heals and is what is instrumental and fundamental in initiating change. The process of therapy is one of collaboration where a person is allowed to talk about whatever is troubling them. The aim is personal growth in an environment which can allow and promote it. To truly be effective, I must begin to discover what makes a person resilient and where their strengths lie. I must also work to understand the factors that contribute to ongoing suffering as well as barriers to growth.
Services
Quality Provision
I currently hold registration with the Psychology Board of Australia. I endorse and uphold the ethical guidelines established by the Australian Psychological Society.
I regularly attend workshops and further training to stay current.
The consulting rooms are pleasantly outfitted, with ample natural light, providing a welcoming space where people can feel comfortable and settled. I believe the therapy room must be conducive to introspection and engagement in close conversation.

Therapy Approach
I believe that essential ingredients for therapy and healing are time and space and the development of a trusting relationship - I attempt to provide each of these to assist in exploring patterns that keep repeating. If these patterns can be identified, they can no longer dominate and interfere in relationships and moving forward.
