Philosophy & Vision
Therapy begins by building a collaborative and affirming relationship that provides the foundation for meaningful life change by supporting open, explorative and relational processes. My focus is on therapy that deepens understanding, connects with inner experiences, makes sense of the past and brings to awareness unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour. Together we will enhance your strengths and celebrate your courageous moments as you become empowered to assert mastery over problems, and redefine the relationship you have with yourself, others and the world.
I work with adults, adolescents and couples to address varied, as well as complex problems that affect mental health, relationships and overall wellbeing.
Background
I am a registered clinical and forensic psychologist, as well as psychotherapist and psychoanalytic psychotherapy candidate with diverse experience across private mental health and forensic public sectors. I have extensive experience working within private hospital, the justice system and community mental health settings.
Services
At Illume Psychology we know from both the research evidence and also our experience that relationships are fundamental to psychological development. With this in mind, our approach importantly involves skilful attention to the therapeutic relationship. Through comprehensive formulation, empathic self-understanding and careful analysis, we aim to go beyond the surface and address problems at their origin with a focus on changing the internal working model. Within a collaborative psychological process that includes cognitive re-scripting techniques, we work with you to make mental repairs to your internal world and thereby establish more desirable patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.
